Okay - a little backstory. My parents, BF and I took a vacation to Cuba together last January. It was my first big trip with my parents in about 10 years or so. Then, this last July, they both flew out to Disneyland as a surprise to spend a few days with us on our vacation and to be there when my BF surprised me by popping the question. Needless to say, we all have a TON of photos from both of these trips.
I'm thinking that for my parent's Christmas gifts I would design and order a photobook for each trip. One thing my mom is always complaining about is the amount of pictures she has and how none of them are journalled or in albums, and how she just doesn't have the time to organize them. So I thought that this would be a gift that they would really appreciate. Ideally, I would love to make them scrapbooks of the trips, but with the university semester ending I just won't have the time to get them done before Christmas.
Has anyone used an online service to make a photobook before? If so, who was it and what was the end result like? Any tips for making the end result fantastic? I thought about using Disney Photopass for the Disney one, but it would be nice to design and order both books from the same site. Chapters also has a photobook service, but I don't know of anyone who has used it.
So basically, any advice about the photobook process you all could provide me with would be very much appreciated!
