Very nice. Congrats and wishes for much happiness as a family, and as a couple.

There are scrap booking programs, that allow you to make your own designs, then you could add them to a CD as a slide show. It would be original at the very least. Sierra

These gals have great ideas! I liked Crystal's idea of the coupon thing too! My suggestion would be that the album need not contain photos that the professional photographer takes. That way, you don't need to consult him beforehand or give any kind of list. Just make sure that you and a couple other guests have your own camera and just take lots of snapshots. Then you can give your prints to her and she'll have all the right photos to put in her album. I'm currently working on my wedding album, and it is all photos that were taken by my aunts and dh's aunt. Lots of stuff; our rings, our cakes, our head table, our harpist, signing the register, walking up and down the aisle, the receiving line etc. You get the idea. Then, if the bride wishes, she can add a studio photo or two just to finish off the album. Kelly

If the photos are REALLY stuck - try heating them up with a hair dryer on a low setting. Sometimes that will loosen the "goo" on the pages and let you scrape the picture off without too much damage. Many of those old pages had loads of acid in the adheasive, so get those pictures out as soon as possible.
