Photo Guest Book

We are planning on doing a photo book guest book, where the pictures will be our engangement photos.  However it's SUPER expensive to go through our photographer to make the book! So for those of you who are doing the photo book guest book who did you go through to make it (besides your photographer)?  Is there somewhere online to do this?  TIA! :)

    There are so many. I have used Picaboo ( you have to upload a program on your computer) and Shutterfly. I have not received my shutterfly order yet but they were both family easy to use. Just make sure that you sign up for their service or search for coupns and so you can get up to 50% off and often free shipping.

    I am using adoramapix.com I tried a lot of the other ones and they layouts and what you can do are much more limited plus their pages layout so there is no gutter so you can put pictures across the middle of the page. I haven't ordered it yet but plan to in the next couple of days so I can tell you what the product is like when I get it!

    I found a nice writeup through a friend and mentioned it a few months ago:

    I'm using blurb b/c we're adding a lot of text and most of the other photobook options are absolute crap with text, whereas blurb is set up for it.  You also have a lot of freedom with layout, which I really liked.

    I ordered ours from MyPublisher.com.  I'd ordered mini photobooks from them of our e-pics for FMIL so I knew what they would be like.  I recommend making sure you have some open space and also add a couple blank pages at the beginning and end (maybe a couple in the middle along the way too) for people to write on.

    I used mypublisher.com. I liked how I could mix the layouts, choose how many pics per page, and add colored pages. Our 15x11 book is 20 pages. WIth 85 guests that actually showed up, we have many pages that aren't written on.

    If you're curious here's ours-
