(Ends 8/31) Mixbook is having a sale where you can Save Up to 50% Off their Beautiful Custom Photo Books, Cards and Calendars using promo code SMREND50 – If you’re in the market for a birth or wedding announcement, or looking for a meaningful gift idea, this is a great sale to look into.
What makes Mixbook stand out from similar services? Well, first, they are Stylish. I mean, like, REALLY Stylish! I love their pre-designed themes – modern, trendy and eye-catching. I’ve also found that the quality of their books tend to be of a higher quality.
- High Quality Satin Paper – Their standard, eco-friendly pages have satin finish (and not glossy). This way you can see sharp images with vibrant colors, without distracting reflections.
- Lay Flat Pages – This is a term I learned from wedding photography. Where you want the pages of your book to open flat, such that no page curl when your book is open. Each spread is printed on an uncut sheet of paper.
Also, I love how easy it is to create beautiful books with their built-in tools. You can even create stunning photo books directly from your iPhone. Here are some user-friendly features they offer:
- Easy – Upload your photos from your computer, Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Instagram, PhotoBucket or Smugmug.
- Designer Themes – Choose from over 100 professional pre-designed themes.
- Flexibility – Add, move and resize pictures and text anywhere.
- Collaboration – Invite your friends and family to collaborate on special projects. They can add photos, create pages, and edit the content. So cool!
- Speed – Short on time? Use Auto Fill feature to automatically place photos for a fast and easy book.
In addition to photo books, they also make stunning birth announcement cards. Click here to browse around at their templates for announcement cards, books and calendars. And give the tools a spin.
I am a big fan of custom photo books. They make great gifts. Plus, in this digital age where most of our lives are captured on our phones, it’s nice to keep memories in a physical keepsake book. I made photo books for my husband every year for the first 3 years after our son was born. I need to start doing that again. 🙂
