I want to make more use of the self-made album service ♩

Have you ever printed photos that you took yourself???

☑ On your anniversary

☑ On your wedding anniversary

☑ For birthdays

☑ For each trip

Collecting "memorable photos for events and turning them into an album" is surprisingly enjoyable ♡

Photos stored on your phone or computer that you rarely look back on can become more accessible and enjoyable when placed as an album in your living room or bedroom.

You can flip through them during idle moments or when guests are over, leading to reminiscing and delightful conversations ♡

(Moreover, there’s the added benefit of reflecting on the past and reaffirming feelings of gratitude and love ♡)

Therefore, making a habit of "turning photos into albums" is something I want to do more!

When we think of "wedding albums," we often imagine going through all the photos after the event, selecting the best ones to create a final product...

But instead, how about "preparing various albums in anticipation of the wedding"? That too is wonderful ♡

For instance, here are some ways to use them ♩

I’ll provide examples, so please envision how they could apply to you ♡

① Make it a couple's profile book

Many brides want to create a profile book!

However, such profile books usually consist of a one-page introduction of the bride and groom, combined with seating charts and menu cards.

Rather than that, how about creating a single book filled with photographs titled "An Album from the Bride and Groom's Meeting to Today" for guests to enjoy? ♡

Placing it in the welcome space will surely spark conversations among guests ♩

➡ Here is the album service that starts from 1500 yen per book ♡

➁ "Instruction Manual"

When ordering an album, you can freely add not only photos but also text ♡

Utilizing that, why not create "My Instruction Manual" and surprise your groom with it? ♩

If you are asked to perform at a friend's wedding, creating an "Instruction Manual for the Bride" to give to the groom could also be a good idea ♡

Usually, the bride's instruction manual is often just a video, but having a keepsake book can increase the chances of it being viewed ♩

As it’s just a matter of submitting the slideshow for printing, it doesn’t take much effort.

③ Gift to Parents

During the wedding, it's common to show childhood photos from parents or to review albums.

Digitizing those photos and creating a growth album from the moment you were born until now to present to your parents would surely make them very happy!

An album made by your parents may contain comments from their perspective, while the album you give as a gift should include comments from your perspective. Share your gratitude and memories with them ♡

➡ Here is a reasonable yet high-quality original album ♡

It will surely become the best "Appreciation Certificate for Parenting" for your parents.

④ Place one book at each table

Collect photos with friends and guests seated at each table to create an album for each table! This is also a lovely idea.

☑ Local friends

☑ College friends

☑ Company colleagues and peers

☑ Relatives

It’s perfectly fine to create albums for only those groups where photos are easy to compile!

Guests will enjoy passing the albums around the tables and having a fun time ♡

Just thinking about how all those albums will be at home after the wedding brings happiness! You can deeply appreciate that "thanks to our friends, we are where we are now" ♩

Let’s have the groom also put effort into creating albums for his group ♡

Recommended Printing Service?

When creating a self-made album, I recommend the site "Toru Dake Photo Book" ♡

➡ Here is the HP for "Toru Dake Photo Book" ♡

Softcovers start at 1500 yen for 16 pages.

Hardcovers start at 2800 yen for 16 pages.

The recommended choice is Diamond＊

While it’s not "super cheap,"

the albums are not flimsy, and the printing is vibrant with no bleeding, resulting in a high-quality album ♡

Since this is something to be gifted on your special wedding day, it’s best to avoid anything with a cheap impression.

"Toru Dake Photo Book" is a company that also handles album production for major brands and travel agencies.

When the order arrives and you hold it in your hands, there won’t be any surprises like, "Oh no, it’s blurry, rough, the colors are off, and it’s flimsy... I can't let anyone touch this!" ♩

➡ First, check the prices and options ♡

The number of albums = the number of happiness? ♡

Isn’t looking back at albums a source of happiness?

Talking and enjoying moments together while being able to keep "things" is truly delightful, isn’t it?

In today’s world of Instagram fame and rampant consumption, the number of photos piling up in your camera roll is likely far greater than it was in the past!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to lead a life where you can neatly organize and preserve those photos in albums?

So that you can look back on memories and joyful events as "treasures."

Regularly turning the photos stored in your camera roll into albums is highly recommended ♡

While imagining the smiles of everyone flipping through the pages, please make use of your "self-made albums" at your wedding too! ♡
