Their software is easy to use and they offer lots of templates to get you started. Two years ago I was at a bridal shower and the mother-of-the-bride gave her daughter her wedding guest book which was filled with their engagement photos and had been created at Mixbook. Once we got Aaron & Summer’s engagement pictures back, I headed straight to Mixbook to create their guest book.

They have eight different guest book templates to choose from, I chose the Chalked Guest Book since chalkboards are part of their wedding theme. I uploaded all of their engagement photos to the site and then the fun began! I love making scrapbooks and photobooks so this is truly a gift of love from me to the kids. I spent about an hour and a half making sure everything was just right. I purchased the square soft-cover photobook for only $19.99!

Mixbook.com also offers affordable, customizeable wedding invitations to fit every wedding’s style and budget.

There are all sorts of creative guest books and guest book alternative ideas floating around now. Did/will you have a traditional guest book at your wedding or will you have something more personalized?

I love giving personalized gifts and as a former scrapbooker I am a huge fan of photo gifts. I love to give photobooks as gifts, they are always well received and appreciated. Photobooks are muchmore professional looking than scrapbooks and they take a lot less time to create. I’m giving some photobooks as gifts this Christmas too!

Shutterfly has a great selection of customizable photobook styles to choose from. They even often 2 ways to make your photobook-you can do everything yourself or you can upload your pictures and let their software design the book for you, then all you need to do is add the captions! How simple is that?

Check out this video:

I’m giving away 2 8×8 photobooks! The giveaway is open to US and Canada residents only. The giveaway ends at 12:01am on December 15, 2012. The winners will receive a coupon code via email. This code MUST be redeemed by December 31, 2012.

Mixbook Photobook Review

I was a scrapbooker for years, and I still have a closet full of now outdated scrapbooking products to show for it. The expense and time requirements for scrapbooking just became too much and I haven’t scrapbooked traditionally in years. I still love creating and giving personal photobooks as gifts and I wanted to share my most recent creation with you.

I made this 11×8.5″ hardcover photobook at Mixbook.com for my mother-in-law’s 65th birthday gift. In March 27 family members joined together at an awesome vacation home in Homosassa, FL for a family gathering. I used many of the photos I took that weekend to make this Photobook for my mother-in-law.

The Mixbook online software is rather easy to use. Like traditional scrapbooking, there are a lot of page layouts and additional embellishments you can use to personalize your pages. I spent about 2 hours on the site creating my 20 page hardcover book which costs $29.99.
