Val & Dan's PJ- Wedding Canceled

[Donald'sGirl]

Mama loves what she sees, except for the cover, because that is one of my favorite e-pics.

Of course, when I have it clutched in my clammy paws and can scrutinize it, I may change my mind...

And like I said, if you absolutely don't like it and want another, I'll buy it from you and we can give it to your grandma....

What a sweet mama you are !!!

I had already decided that if I did another I would give it to Grandma for Christmas!!! Funny!!!!

I think it is really pretty!!! I really like it, besides that all of your pictures are sooo beautiful! I think you did a great job

Your book looks fantastic... what a beautiful job and great pics..... I had a great time making the ones I have made.... Congrats! wonderful job!

Thank you!! It was a lot of fun doing it!!

I like it Val.. but I can see what you mean! That is a little strange for them to cut him out so far on the cover.. I don't really like that either.
Would they fix it for you, or do you have to pay for it all over again?

After more careful inspection I see that he is on there, just on the part where it wraps around the book. I don't know. I hadn't contacted anything. Worst case scenario I just take the cover off. But, I love the quotes on it.

I think it looks great Val. Did you use Blurb? I wouldn't worry too much about coloring being off on pictures inside, and while it is annoting Dan cut off the front I would see if there was a way to fix just that, unless you want two books.

You think I can't enjoy TWO books full of pictures of myself????

Oh, Val, it is just lovely! You definitely put ours to shame! I love, love, love it! The backgrounds are really nice and give it a lighter feel. I also really liked the breaking down of one picture to make it look like a block mural. Really cool.

I really liked the background too. That was my favorite part I think!!! The program just did that on it's own but I really like the effect.

Val the book came out great!! I really like it but I do agree with you about the front cover. I wonder if they can just rework the slip cover without needing to do the whole thing over again. I really need to start on mine too but I am waiting for one last cd from Randy before I can do it.

It was a lot of fun to do and I know you'll enjoy it! Especially with your great E-pics!!!

What a sweet mama you are !!!

Yes, she is being very generous with my special day!!!!

 

[IndyBride]

I don't know what to do. I'm really disappointed with it but I also worry perhaps this is what they all look like??? I think I'll create another book and may or may not order it.

Val I really like the book...I agree with you though about the cover..Is there any way they can fix it??

 

[travelmel]

I love your book.... the cover looks ok to me.. but this is at a distance, not holding it in your hands close

The above pic is my fave.... you guys are MUY photogenic to say the least! Looking forward to future updates!

Val I think it is beautiful! i agree with you and everyone else about the cover though, how could they cut out DF??

 

[tiggerrifficheidi]

Val,

I just caught up with your plans!!!

I love your e-pics. We had some done at WDW, and it was A LOT of fun, but I love the idea of going into the park!

We're doing a photo guestbook, too, but we're letting the photographer design it! I hope they don't cut him out of the pictures My advice: get what you want, unless it doesn't matter to you.

I really love the floral chandelier pic you posted! Gorgeous!

Overall I think the book looks great, it's so cute to see all of your shots come together like that in one place. But, I do understand some of your concerns. Which company did you use? I've used Shutterfly several times (including for our guestbook) and they did a great job

 

[irisbud]

I think it looks really nice, Val, but I understand what you are saying. I would say to give it a couple of days and see if it grows on you. If not, get a new one. You don't want to regret not getting a guestbook you like later!

 

[keenercam]

Val -- You did a BEAUTIFUL job on the book -- I'd just ask them to reprint the cover. You may have to zoom out on that pic in order to get Dan on the front of the page. It's a shame they don't show you a grid of where the "fold" will be.

well outside of the front cover, I think the book looks great!! Very well put together and the quotes are just adorable!! Atleast from these pictures, I think the coloring is fine.

 

[Mama of Indybride]

Well, her cheap Mama got an email from....gulp....Walmart....

That they did Wishbooks...

I suggested she try it out and see if she liked the quality becauses they were not expensive at all...and if she didn't like it her Grandma would love it...

So she tried it, but is probably afraid to say where she got it...she probably would not have tried there if I had not said

Try it!!! Try IT!!! Just Try IT!

I think she is styling one from Blurb....but Blurb had different backgrounds..

Hey hey, there is nothing wrong with being cheap. Every little bit adds up to a wedding! And you had a contingency plan in place in case you didn't like it, and you've learned a valuable lesson for all of us, so no harm, no foul.

 

[IndyBride]

Well, I showed the girls and they loved it. So that is everyone but me loves it. Actually, I did not like working with blurb. The layouts were not what I was looking for. I really like the background from the one I already did. So, I think I'm going to wait a bit.

 

[Crown_princess]

Hey! Was your book made on a Mac? I put one together for me and DF for our wedding on our Mac and it's the same backgrounds and stuff. You could have a friend do it in iPhoto if you wanted another one or somethin'.

Your photographer did a great job on the pics and you coordinated your clothes well. DF and I are worried about messing that up!

Oooh! Big Mac fan! I haven't made a wedding book, but I've made a couple and they are super easy. Maybe that's an idea!

Although I'm sure you're more critical than everyone else. We obsess about little flaws that our guests will end up LOVING. I think that's the nature of being a bride!

Thank you!! I wanted us to look nice but not matching. I have an HP the software that I downloaded to make the book had the backgrounds.

You are probably right which is why I think I'm going to stay with this book. I have downloaded softward from blurb and shutterfly and I don't like the bakcgrounds or layouts as much as the one I already have. I did like shutterfly better than blurb but, I don't know if I'm up to making another one. To be honest, the only pics that didn't turn out as great as I wanted were ones with filters so that may be why it wasn't as rich.

 

[IndyBride]

I had completely forgotten what my center pieces looked like so I e-mail the entertainment director a few weeks ago to ask for pics. This is the overall idea. It's probably not going to have those flowers and the pebbles on the bottom are going to be different. I'm going to have these on two tables.

And then on the other three tables I'm going to have these. There will be different flowers and bamboo inside the glass around it. There will also be a ribbon going around the vase.

Oh! It's also going to be bigger and on the sweetheart table there will be the floral from the gazebo. I will have the aisle runner in white I think because it will look best. This is a pic that will go along the aisle.

I think those are all the pics for now. FMIL made the reservations at the restaurant for the rehearsal dinner last week or so.

I love your centerpieces!! I may just have to steal some pics from you!
