    Photo Books...

    Ok, so I am wanting to print some photo books using pics from DD's 2nd year... any suggestions on where to go? What have you used? Preferably not too $$$ as I have to do a few for family... and I have LOTS of pics to include

    TIA

    We did one for my mum a couple of years ago with Momento. I haven't used it since then, so have no idea on how much it has been updated. We found the pages to be thicker than some others, but I think they cost a bit more than some other brands out there too. I think if you order a certain amount you get a discount.

    I've used a few & Momento are by far the best. They are more expensive but if you order a few of the same book you get a discount. Also when I have ordered from them in the past they send me discount vouchers for next time.

    Thanks for the tips... Sarah, how many is a few at a time though? I'll probably get 2 or 3...

    Mistree - thanks for that! I had been thinking of using BigW so am really glad you mentioned that! Did they fix it up for you?

    You get a 5% discount for 2-5 copies, a 10% discount for 5-10 copies and then I never checked higher than that!

    Do you have to do that instore? Do you know if that is only in Tassie or when it ends? For $10 I can handle any mishaps!

    Thanks Sarah!

    I use Snapfish and they have been great. I also get an e-mail every month or so that has discount vouchers. Before Christmas, they had 40% off calendars (so i got 2 different ones). Their discount when you get 2 of the same is pretty big from what i remember (30-50%? off).

    The program is easy to use, you can save a book if you can't finish it in on sitting. It has lots of different designs for each page.

    They can send your item out to you (mine took 2 days from ordering and we are rural) or you can pick it up from a local Rabbit store.

    Thank you MM! I have already made an account with BigW... but not yet started an album because I thought I'd check with the BB girls first for a reputable group! And I'm still deciding which photo's to print!
