Your Love Preserved in Pages: A Heartfelt Gift for Your Spouse

Picking out the perfect gift for your husband or wife can be a stressful. While there are plenty of silly or practical options, it can be tough to find something tangible that adequately expresses the depth of your love for your spouse.

Best Selling Wedding Books

One of our favorite gift ideas at Mixbook is a custom wedding album filled with pages of high-quality pictures from the day you said “I do” to your partner. While you may have shared countless wedding pictures on social media after you got them back from the photographer, there’s something uniquely special about holding those memories in your hands and honoring them on paper.

Modern Custom Wedding Albums by Mixbook

One of our long-time Mixbookers Brenda Spencer shared with us in a video testimonial just how meaningful her Mixbook wedding album has been to her blended family.

“This is my first and favorite project,” Brenda said. “It's my wedding album. At the time, I didn't know how to use Mixbook and my daughter taught me how. We are a blended family and she was about 13 at the time. And now it's one of my favorite things to do.”

One of Brenda’s favorite pages in her album utilizes some of the creative templates and imagery available in the Mixbook library to highlight the ambiance of one of her favorite memories on her wedding day.

“This is my husband's favorite page, pictures of my daughter, his daughter, and me while getting ready for the wedding,” she said. “We got married on his parents' farm, so we have pictures of people riding on the hayride and having a hot dog roast. We have rustic backgrounds that I love that look like barn boards. It's just been a fabulous project.

“I love that there are so many different templates and stickers, all the bright vivid colors and the layouts,” Brenda said.

Creativity: The Gift That Keeps on Giving

One of the reasons she loves Mixbook albums, Brenda explained, is because of their modern and creative visual appeal compared to old-school photo albums.

“Everybody who looks at it just loves it so much better than the albums I used to make - just putting photos in the clear plastic sleeves,” she said.

Not only does Brenda appreciate the finished product of her wedding album, she explained that she also enjoys the creative process of putting her Mixbooks together because it allows her to channel her passion for graphic design.

“I love graphic design,” Brenda said. “I went to school for graphic design, and so being able to actually use that talent and putting together books of memories of our family has been amazing. I have made my daughter's wedding album, my son's graduation guest book, [and] many, many other albums.”

Brenda is so enthusiastic about her passion for creating Mixbooks, she said it was her favorite way to spend her free time.

“Mixbook is just one of my favorite things to do. And I would spend all my time on it if I could spare it. I love that this album has beautiful memories of that day.”
