What to do with all those wedding photos after the wedding? 7 ideas
You have hundreds of photos from guests and from your photographer. What do you do with them now? 7 creative and practical ideas to cherish them.
The wedding is done. The flowers have wilted. You're back from your honeymoon. And then: you open your laptop and see a ZIP file full of hundreds of photos from your guests, plus the folder from your photographer. What now?
1. Make a photo book
The classic keepsake, but done properly. Use a service like Albelli, Saal Digital or Photobook.com to create a high-quality photo book. Combine the best photos from your photographer with the authentic moments from your guests. The result is a book you actually open.
Tip: make two versions, a large premium copy for yourself, and smaller versions as gifts for grandma and grandpa.
2. Compile a digital gallery
Create a private album on Google Photos or iCloud and invite family and friends. That way they can view the photos and save their favourites. Better than emails with attachments.
3. Get a digital photo frame
A digital photo frame (like Aura or Pix-Star) shows a continuous slideshow of your wedding photos. A constant reminder of the most beautiful day, at home in the living room. Also a perfect gift for the parents.
4. Make an annual slideshow
Every wedding anniversary: open the photos and make a new slideshow. Add photos from the year itself each year. A tradition that grows naturally.
5. Print a selection and hang them up
Choose five to ten photos that really move you and have them printed on canvas, aluminium or as a regular print in a beautiful frame. Authentic guest photos fit perfectly here: those spontaneous, unexpected moments make the most beautiful wall decorations.
6. Create a private Instagram account
Create a private account specifically for the wedding photos. Invite family and friends as followers. Post a photo with a story behind the moment regularly. A digital photo book that lives.
7. Make a keepsake box
Print a selection in Polaroid format, put them together with other mementos (an invitation, a table card, a dried flower) in a beautiful box. A tangible time capsule.
Partylio as the starting point
All these ideas start with one thing: having the photos. Partylio ensures that the photos from your guests, those irreplaceable candid moments, come to you in one ZIP download. That's how you start with the best raw material for all of the above.
