The #1 Reason You Haven’t Gotten Around to Making Your Wedding Album Yet

You know what we’re always surprised about when we hear about couples finally getting their wedding photos back from the photographer? That the photos are still taking up space in an online gallery, on their phones, or as permanent spots in their social feeds—BUT they haven’t been added to a wedding photo album yet. The photos are likely some if not THE most important pics you’ve taken thus far in your life, so they’re not just worthy of your nightly phone scrolls, they’re meant for something more: a starring spot in a gorgeous Mixbook wedding photo book. We caught up with our friends on staff, and couldn’t believe (well, actually, maybe we could) just how many of us were still procrastinating when it came to putting together a wedding album. So, we thought about ways to remedy the situation, and came up with this. A good wedding photo book can’t be created without inspiration. Once the inspiration is there, though, the creative energy is about to explode. Bonus! Mixbook is offering Wedding Chicks a discount code. Scroll down to see the offering.

Why is inspo so essential?

Because let’s be honest, you’ve already had the big event. You’re married. You’ve committed to your favorite person ever, and you’re locked in for life. You got to dine on the delicious cuisine, drink the drinks, listen to the speeches by your other favorite people, dance the dances, cut the cake, and party into the night (hopefully with a major trip on the docket for a few days later #ahoneymoontakestheedgeoffthatnextmorninghangover). And now it’s done. You might not even want to look back at the snaps of the day at the risk of getting depressed and wedding blue all over again. Inspiration; however, will help launch you into “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” mode, and you’ll be able to look through all of the memories from the day and turn that frown upside down. You can do it with Mixbook, an award-winning, easy-to-use online design tool that provides unrivaled creative freedom and limitless design choices for you to transform your favorite moments [from that best day ever] into meaningful personalized photo books (or cards or calendars or wall art).
