Photo Books - Size??

[Kimmers127]

I'm about to start making my guest book online - I'm planning to make a photo book of our engagement pictures like Carrie and many others have done. Now that I'm actually starting it, I'm realizing that Adorama offers tons of different sizing options - which I guess I wasn't expecting! Haha. I'm at a loss - what size did you go with? Do you wish you'd gone bigger or smaller? Thanks!

We went with 10x13 because it was the biggest rectangular size Blurb offers. Looks like Adorama doesn't have that size, but 12x9 would be close. I just think pix look better the bigger they are, and it gives guests a lot of space to write in. On the other hand, you may not want to give them a lot of space because then you'll end up with some blank areas (unless you have a ton of guests).

Traditional, non-photo guest books are closer to 8x10 or 8x12—and sometimes smaller. So if you don't share my need for huge photos, you might find that a better size! Here are some pix of ours to show scale:

I think I ordered mine in 12x12. Not sure though coz it hasn't turned up yet. Should be here by the end of the week though. I went with the scrap book size

How much do the different sizes cost with Adorama and Blurb? Are you limited to a certain number of photos?

It's not the photos that are limited so much as it is the number of pages. You can cram any number of photos onto the allotted pages!
