Here's how it works: Make your selections using the drop-down menus above.

1. Choose a fabric color

The book itself is covered in lightly textured silk, in your choice of ivory, black, sage or chocolate.

2. Choose a size

Small Album Features:

Dimensions: 10" x 10"

Usable page area: 9 1/2" x 9 3/4"

Page count: 50 pages (100 sides)

This album will hold one 5x7 photo, or two 4x6 photos per page

Large Album Features:

Dimensions: 12" x 13"

Usable page area: 12 1/2" x 11 3/4"

Page count: 50 leaves (100 sides)

This album will hold one 8x10 photo, two 5x7 photos, or three 4x6 photos per page

3. Choose a color for the photo borders.

Choose a color for the photo borders. (Don't worry yet about what color goes where--our artists will prepare a mockup for you based on their best judgment, and you’ll have the opportunity to rearrange colors later on, if necessary.) Select the color you want using the swatches below, and choose the corresponding colors from the drop-down menus above.

4. Fill in your inscription information.

This can be anything you want, feel free to get creative. A very common layout is to use the bride and groom's first names on line 1 and the wedding date on line 2, as in the example here. But don't feel limited. Your guestbook inscription can say anything at all! Your inscription will be typeset in Garamond font, exactly the way you type it. If you prefer to have no inscription, just leave the boxes empty.

5. Add the guestbook to your cart and complete your order.

You should receive an email confirmation shortly after submitting your order. Be sure the email address you enter during checkout is correct, and please call us if you do not receive the confirmation within an hour.

Reply to this email with an attachment of your image. We can work with any photograph, logo, or drawing. Remember that the highest resolution images work best. We recommend choosing a jpg file at 300 dpi for photos, and a high resolution eps saved in vector format for line art. In your email, please be sure to include any special cropping or layout instructions. We'll review the artwork you send, and let you know if any modifications are required.

6. We'll prepare a digital proof

We'll email you a preliminary mockup of your design within a few days. Once you approve the design, we’ll begin assembly right away. If changes are needed, our artists will be glad to rework the mockup. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to communicate with our art department before the design is finalized.

A few notes regarding the design process:

Higher resolution images work best (300 dpi or greater). The final print size is about 3x3 inches square, and we can reduce or enlarge the image as needed, but if your image is small and very low resolution, the image might be fuzzy. The better quality your original is, the better the final design will look.

Your final print color may be slightly different from the proof. Because the cardstock we print to is ivory with warm undertones, colors often appear warmer than your original. We do our best to adjust for this color shift, but exact color matching cannot be guaranteed.

The order form has a box for you to make comments. Please take advantage of this space to let us know about special requests, such as colors, cropping, etc...
