Album vs CD

Can someone tell me why a CD with print rights is so popular? 

I would be worried that in a few years you will not be able to view the pictures as they will surely go the way of the VCR Tape. 

Many brides view their wedding album as a family heirloom and it lasts for so long.
Their kids love looking at the pictures of mom and dad.

Why would anyone want to get a CD?

    Because you can download the images to your PC and have them on your hard drive... You can also make prints from them. Why wouldn't you want a cd of your pictures???

    I think it's mostly a money issue... If you get a CD you can print out as many copies as you want at a fraction of a price that a photographer would charge. I agree that having an album is nice though, so we will be getting one big album for us and maybe two parent albums, but also a CD so that our family and friends can have whatever they want printed out and don't have to spend hunders of $ on it.

    I am getting an album and a cd. The cd is nice because then you can use the pictures for whatever you want on websites such as shutterfly. I also got my engagement pictures on a disc.

    If you get a CD then you are most likely getting the rights to reprint ALL of your photos, at any time and in any amount from any place you choose.  If you only get an album then you most likely have to chose from all of the photos a select number of photos to put in the album.  If you want all of the photos shot then that will cost tons of $$$$ and if you decide you want a bigger reprint of one then you're paying the photographer for that.  And, you can usually only order more photos from the photographer for a period of time after the wedding.  

    Getting them on a CD, as another PP said, allows you to save them to one (or many) hard drives so you have back up.  I know people who lived next to me growing up who lost all photos in a fire and they are forever gone, their wedding photos, those of their grown children because an option of CD images weren't around when they got married.  We have a few back ups of our pictures, a set with my parents... so that if something happened to our home and our computers and CD back ups are damaged then we still have those photos.
