Welcoming a new baby is one of the most joyful and exciting times in a person’s life, and one that’s bound to fly right by. So it’s important to preserve all of your memories while you can, and there’s no better way to do so than with a customizable baby book.
It seems like everyone around you is saying “they grow up so fast” or “blink and you’ll miss it” — and they’re right! Before you know it, you’ll be watching your little one graduate, and wondering where all the time has gone. You’ve probably taken a million pictures — as most parents do — so it makes sense that you’ll want a fun and easy way to showcase them.
Creating a photo book with Printique is a simple and creative way to preserve and compile all the memories you made welcoming your newest family member — the book can be a beautiful and lasting memento for you and your family, or a unique gift to share with the people closest to you.
Simply upload the pictures you love the most and choose from a variety of customizable themes, and Printique will have your photo book on your doorstep before you know it!
The only question that remains, then, is how will you add that personal touch to make it truly special.

Keep It Simple

Less is more when it comes to putting together a photo book, as the pictures almost always speak for themselves. If you are choosing to let the pictures do the talking, then the simple and elegant “Little Boy Blue” and “Pretty In Pink” themes are perfect for you.
Each theme allows you to showcase the very best pictures of your little bundle of joy in a stylish, refined way, making sure the focus of the book is on the pictures themselves. The finished product will be a stunning keepsake for you to cherish yourself, or a unique gift that you can share with close friends and family.

Get Creative

Printique also has photo book options catered to giving an actual gift to your child. The “ABC” format allows you to create a personalized alphabet book to give your child once he or she is beginning to learn the alphabet.
Fill it with photographs that bear special meaning for you and your family, and maybe even get your child involved in the picture-taking process — the letter B could have a picture of them holding a ball, or the letter D could have a picture of the family dog.
Keep the focus of each picture on your family, your child, and his or her unique personality, and help them learn the alphabet with images and associations that are near and dear to them. Even once they’re all grown up, the book will be a beautiful keepsake that they’ll treasure forever.

A Gift To Treasure

A customized photo book offers the perfect opportunity to create a visual timeline for your child, cataloguing the most important and exciting moments of his or her life. The classic layout gives you space to write a caption alongside each photo, making it ideal for documenting their first steps, their first time riding a bike, their first day at school, and any other major milestones they experience.
Use photographs from just the first few years of your child’s life, or continue right up until they graduate and fly the coop — either way, the book will be a meaningful, memory-filled object for you and your whole family to enjoy.
