Pick pictures and order a wedding album??
My wedding was a few years ago and I haven't ordered my album... (Which my in laws paid for so I feel so guilty!!!) I want one so badly but bH Juggling a lot!!

How long did it take you to order one? How do you have time and patience to go through all those pics and narrow it down??

18-20 months after my wedding I think, after baby #1 was born. I made my wedding album while home on maternity leave when nursing my newborn.

Picked it up a month after the wedding. But now many many years later and I'm still trying to print family pictures from 2 years ago...

3.5 years into our marriage I picked out the pics. At that point I found it easier since I felt less sentimental about each and every picture. I was able to narrow it down without too much sweat...

We picked it about a month after the wedding. A few months later the albums were ready. Every year I make a family album on mixbool. I’m very on top of our pictures.

We've been married over 15 years, the photographer (who we already paid for the album) went out of business, and still be album. (Never watched the DVD either).

Our photographer gave us a few months. It was written in our contract that if we didn't pick the photos x number of days after the wedding we would forfeit the albums (which were included in the price we paid). I think it was 4 months? I picked the photos within that time frame and I LOVE my album.

5 years. I did it myself on shutterfly because I did not like our photographer.

We have two big albums of proofs. We’ve been married nearly 12 years and have no official album.
I should get one for my parents.

7 years later = no album. Dont want one = not happy with the pictures.

Two years after my wedding. I knew if I didn’t push myself then life will only get busier and I’ll never do it.

Never did the album thing. All we have is the printed pictures in shoe boxes. Am I soo bad?

3-4 months? Our photographer made us do it quickly and it was the best thing.

You can’t ask the photographer if you can take care of it on your own?

Not trying to attack you but that comment does come off sounding rather entitled.

I also cared most about the pictures and really don't like the way they turned out. But bh a couple of years + children down the line it really doesn't take up much of my brain space...
