Parent Albums - need suggestions

[KeepsakeGirl]

What do you all offer for parent albums?

I offer Asuka books for my wedding albums, but I'm still not sure what i want to keep offering for the parent albums.

Currently I offer the Gary Fong Linen Books (proof books) because parents seem to like the simplicity of them but I was wondering if there was something out there that was better :)

How about just smaller versions of the Asuka? We're offering Asuka as the standard book in our entry package and have moved on to other vendors. For parent albums, we'll either offer smaller versions of the books (e.g., instead of a 12x12 leather book, a 7x7 or 8x8 leather book) or hardbound versions (e.g., Asuka)

Our package that includes parent/grandparent books relies on size as the difference (yes, size does matter!)

I agree with Jesus. Can you offer the smaller version of the regular wedding album you already offer?

I was thinking just that and when I pitched that idea to the MOTB today her eyes lit up. She would love to hand a few out as gifts, so i'm thinking maybe an 8x8? How hard is it to resize the layouts for Asuka books? I'm guessing only the smaller images in the book might need to be eliminated or resized....

I just resized it - full scale. It's a "mini" version of the original and unless you're charging for the layout, you don't want to spend time on it.

the album we sell is the 10x10 destiny album to the bride, but as for the parents book, i don't redisign, I go w/ a template from our lab, in your case it's another, but i simply put the prep pictures of the bride, her brides maid sometimes and then the best of the best pictures through out the weddind and placing them in a 5x5 or what ever size that's "cute". or another way is to have them select their fav pictures. in comparison to shrinking the current graphic design which makes looking at the smaller pictures impossible.
