The reverse text side is used to inform the wedding guests of where they can find the wedding images online and what the password will be to access the private gallery we create for all our couples. The guests love them as it's a little keepsake from the wedding and we love them as every guest leaves that wedding with our business card.<br /><br />When they inevitably hit the gallery a day or two after the wedding, we have a message in the gallery asking them to leave their email address and we will contact them when the images are ready and have been viewed by the couple (we always ensure the wedding couple see the images first) and also, would they like to pre-order a copy of the DVD slideshow - it works a treat.Alan Hutchisonhttp://www.alanhutchison.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-38817320098930530192011-05-29T15:04:35.793-04:002011-05-29T15:04:35.793-04:00I love the sign in book.

Leave a pile of cards under the sculpture and you have a nice piece for the couple and some brilliant advertising for yourself.<br /><br />Win Win!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-22249957751414981382011-05-26T16:19:18.578-04:002011-05-26T16:19:18.578-04:00The images could easily be placed in a slide show ...The images could easily be placed in a slide show of some kind while at the wedding/reception also.

It reminds me of the way we used to do high school albums. What's really cool is that the couple can then look back in years to come at both their pictures, as well as the kind things people wrote when they came to their wedding. Great stuff, David. This is my "go to" site every morning. I go here first and then to Planet Neil. Then I feel that I have enough motivation to start my day. You are my cup of coffee.

I had a mom purchase a few engagement session portraits from me and had them put onto canvas and made a beautiful quilt for a wedding couple that I photographed. I made them available to couples to use for the newspaper announcement instead of plain snapshots. A bride once enlarged about six engagement shots and put three on each side of the plain chapel where they got married along with beautiful flower arrangements. Another couple used them as centerpieces. She had four of them printed on vellum paper, then formed a cube with an electric candle inside. It was neat to see everyone going to the different tables and admiring the portraits. So much fun!Seriously Kennishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739771281463039125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-91175983672703963522011-05-26T11:02:53.105-04:002011-05-26T11:02:53.105-04:00Around here (central MA), we find couples enjoy us...Around here (central MA), we find couples enjoy using their favorite E-photo for a sign-in board which can later be framed and hung at home as a reminder of wishes from their guest.Wakeen Photographyhttp://www.wakeenphotography.comnoreply@blogger.com
