There are many creative possibilities when making a collage out of wedding photos. It can be a memento for yourself, guests from the wedding or memories to share with your family. Here are some ideas on how to go about this project.

You could make the collage using your wedding pictures for your parents or grandparents as a personal and special gift. Ask guests to send copies of photos they took to you and use photos you are not including in frames or an album that your wedding photographer took. Think about the photos the person you are gifting to would like, there is no point in giving them a collage with pictures of your work friends when they do not know these people. For people like grandparents use family pictures, for parents maybe family and close friends.

Perhaps you could dig out older photos to use with the wedding pictures like snaps from the first date, holidays, birthdays. Anything personal to you and your spouse and then gift it to them for an anniversary. This will be a very personal and special gift your partner will love for the work and thought it took, and you will both enjoy remembering those special times together.

Something more unusual to do would be to turn the collage into an activity and make a collage jigsaw puzzle! Then it is a great gift not just for adults but for children too. Just find an online service to upload your chosen photographs too like the first kiss, the first dance, cutting the cake and so on. They will then use them to make first a collage and then turn that collage into a puzzle of whatever size and difficulty you want. Usually prices run from eighty to two hundred and fifty dollars but this is something you will have to look into.

This is a crafting project you could do yourself but there are companies that can do a professional job for you. They have collages they have made for others available for you to view so you can see what your options are and then all you do is send them the digital photos you want them to use. If you have specific requests you let them know, otherwise they will come up with something for you.

This is a great way to display photos other than in frames or albumns and are a great talking piece for visiting guests and make beautiful treasured gifts.
