Haha, I've heard of these photos being done and I'm wondering... do brides do them for their husbands as wedding gifts, or what? Has anyone here done them or heard of them being done?
TIA!

    They have become increasingly popular the last few years.  I didn't do them and never intend to, but those who do usually enjoy the experience.  I have heard it described as fun and empowering for the ladies, and the men are usually very surprised when they get the finished product (photos, book, etc).  I agree with PPs - seems they are most commonly done either as a wedding day gift or as an anniversary present.

    My FI and I saw a news program on these and told me never ever do it. He also thinks the sexiest thing I can wear is a t shirt and blue jeans so it really depends on your guy. If you think he will like it and feel comfortable doing it I say go for it. But make sure he is ok with it before you do. If I do them it will spark a huge fight because he doesn't like that stuff.

    Thanks, ladies! Yes, I was thinking of doing them for future hubby as a wedding day gift to be opened on maybe the first day of the honeymoon. VERY classy pictures, though! :) I think he'd like it!

    I have a question about this for ladies who have done this. I mentioned doing this for my FI as a wedding gift to my sister and she brought up the point of: what do you do with the album afterwards? Its not exactly something that you would leave sitting out on the coffee table. I originally thought that it was a really good idea, but now I'm not so sure. What have you girls done with the albums?

    Our album is in a drawer but DH looks at it sometimes.  ;)  I also have a 5x7 in our bathroom and one on his nightstand.
