Choose a book type, size, and design

Snapfish offers a wide range of book types, sizes, and designs to choose from for your wedding photo book.

First, you need to decide on the type of book you want. Snapfish offers softcover, hardcover, and layflat photo album styles. Softcover books are the most affordable option, while hardcover books are more durable and premium layflat hardcover books offer the highest quality.

Next, you need to choose the size of your book. Snapfish offers a variety of sizes, including 5x7, 6x8, 7x5 portrait, 8x8, 8x11, 11x14, and 12x12. Consider the number of photos you want to include and the size of the images you want to display.

Finally, you can select a design that reflects your style and personality. Snapfish offers a range of design options, including contemporary, wedding studio, and elegant florals. You can also choose to upgrade your book with glossy pages or a matte cover for an extra touch of elegance.

When selecting your book type, size, and design, it's important to consider the overall theme and style of your wedding. Choose a design that complements your wedding colours and style. You can also add personal touches, such as decorations and wording, to make your photo book truly unique and special.

Snapfish also offers the option to customise your photo book further. You can upload your own photos, add text, and choose from a variety of backgrounds, textures, and patterns to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake that captures your wedding memories perfectly.

Upload your photos

Uploading your photos to Snapfish is a simple process. You can upload your pictures directly from your PC, smartphone, or social media account. You can even use the Snapfish app to upload photos to your free Snapfish account.

There are two ways to start creating a photo book. You can either start from the photo books page, selecting the book type, size, and design, or you can start by selecting your photos first in your photo album pages.

If you start from the photo books page, you will need to select the book type, size, and design you want, and click "MAKE THIS PHOTOBOOK". This will take you to a page where you can select photos from one or more albums. You will need at least 22 photos for a single photo per page, covers, and any additional pages you want to include. Once you have made your selections, click "ADD SELECTED PHOTOS" to include them in your book.

If you start by selecting your photos first, you can choose the photos you want to include in your book from your photo album pages. Once you have made your selections, click "Make a Book" in the left menu. This will take you to the books page, where you can select the book type, size, and design. Then, click "MAKE THIS PHOTO BOOK" to continue to the book builder with the selected photos.

After you have uploaded your photos and selected your book type, size, and design, you can choose to use the Autofill feature to automatically place your photos in the book, or you can place them manually. Autofill is the fastest and easiest way to create your book, and you can always move your photos around or reorder pages later.

Auto-fill or manually place your photos

Once you've selected your photos, Snapfish will prompt you to either autofill or manually place your photos. Autofill is the fastest and easiest way to create your wedding book. The autofill feature will automatically and quickly place your photos in your book, which you can then move around and reorder. You can also use the Shuffle feature to drag and drop your photos manually to "PHOTO HERE" boxes or anywhere on a page until you see a layout you like.

If you're feeling creative, you can manually place your photos from the beginning. First, select your book type, size, and design, and then click "MAKE THIS PHOTOBOOK". This takes you to where you can select photos from one or more albums (you need at least 22 photos for a single photo per page, including the cover, but you can select as many as you want). You can then click "ADD SELECTED PHOTOS" to include them in your book. You can also start by selecting your photos first in your photo album pages. Once you've selected them, click "Make a Book" in the left menu, and then follow the same steps as above.

Snapfish also offers pre-made design templates that you can use and customise to suit your style. You can also add text, stickers, embellishments, and backgrounds to your pages.

Customise your book with backgrounds, decorations, and text

Snapfish offers a wide range of customisation options to make your wedding photo book unique and special. You can choose from a variety of backgrounds, decorations, and text options to personalise each page and showcase your favourite wedding memories.

When selecting a background for your photo book, you can choose from solid colours, patterns, or graphics to complement your wedding theme or colour scheme. For example, a user on the Snapfish UK blog opted for a "weaved grey effect" background that matched their wedding colour scheme. You can also add textures or patterns to your pages for added visual interest.

Decorations and embellishments are another way to customise your book and make it more personalised. Snapfish offers pre-made wording and decorations that you can simply drag and drop onto the pages, ensuring you stay within the dotted lines. These decorative elements can include stickers or other embellishments to make each page unique and special.

Finally, don't forget to add text to your photo book to tell the story of your favourite wedding memories. You can include captions or a narrative to accompany your photos, or even create "chapter headings" to divide your book into sections, such as "Preparation", "The Ceremony", and "The Reception".

With Snapfish's customisation options, you can truly make your wedding photo book your own and create a beautiful keepsake that you'll treasure for years to come.

Save, preview, and order

Once you are happy with your Snapfish wedding photo book, you can save it to your Snapfish account. This is a good idea in case your device crashes and you lose all your work. You can then preview your book to check for any errors or changes you may want to make. For example, you can check the final 'Review' step to see if any empty photo slots will be printed blank. You can also check if there is any default text that you want to edit or delete using the 'trash' icon.

After you are happy with your preview, you can place your order. Snapfish offers a range of different formats, covers, and sizes to choose from. You can select from softcover, hardcover, and layflat photo album styles. You can also upgrade your book with glossy pages or a matte cover. Snapfish also offers a leather hardcover option, which is excellent for preserving special occasions. The prices vary depending on the size and style of the book. For example, a hardcover 8x11 landscape book costs $13.50, while a premium layflat hardcover 11x14 landscape book costs $34.50.

After placing your order, you can expect to receive your photo book within a few business days. Snapfish will hand-inspect every order to ensure it meets your expectations.
