A wedding guest book in coffee table book format | a new trend

We have noticed many couples using coffee table books to create designer guest books. A growing number of coffee table books are being submitted with various designs that allow space for wedding guests to add hand written messages (we’ve seen a few books for various birthdays too).

The typical books display pictures of the bride and groom in various stages as they grew up, right through to present-day - collage pages work well. As many couples have a formal engagement, there is seldom a shortage of couple pictures to fill up those pages.

Our Cappuccino A4 book:

Ideal engagement gift:   Gift Vouchers
This makes for a wonderful engagement gift. Friends and family could purchase a voucher for the couple to create their own guest book. This would go very well with a fun, couple photo shoot for them to use images in the book. Many photographers offer pre-wedding packages. Using the wedding photographer for this type of shoot means the couple gets to work with the photographer before the big day. I could see this making the relationship between couple and photographer leading to a more relaxed day and better photographs.

Studio22 Guest book:
Studio22 Album Maker software now includes a guest book option. It is our popular A4 Cappuccino book with 40 pages. To make this a more affordable option, we have allowed the first 4 pages to be full colour printed while the balance of the book will be blank white pages for messages. As you design, if you prefer to have more pages, you can add more at the same rate as any other A4 coffee table book. Naturally, you could use any of the other book options and print all the pages with pictures while leaving blank spaces for messages.

The photo lab that delivers

Studio22 delivers in the true sense of the word.

Photographers make money when they are out taking photographs or shooting  in a studio. The more time spent driving to collect prints or products, the less time you are shooting and billing for your time. Sure, there are also photographers who work full-time and shoot afterhours, they too cannot always find the time to get to the lab.

For this reason, Studio22 has been running a very successful delivery service to many areas across Cape Town. Collecting and delivering to studio’s, offices and homes : From Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Durbanville, Bellville, Edgemead, Constantia, Rondebosch, Pinelands, Parklands , Montague Gardens, Milnerton, Epping Industria, Sea Point to the City bowl. 

The big question: “What does it cost?”
This service is free to all collections or deliveries where an order is over R300. First time users will need to pay a once off fee of R50 for the first collection or delivery. A nominal fee of R25 applies when a collection or delivery is requested where an amount under R300 is invoiced.

Retail-on-the-road:
We have extended this service to include Retail-on-the-road. Our delivery vehicle carries a collection of retail items as sold in Studio22. Items like our Studio Albums, DVD’s, CD’s, Glues and Falcon compressed air.

Deliver days:
We travel to Stellenbosch on Monday’s ,Wednesday’s and Friday’s. On Tuesday’s and Thursday’s we cover Parklands and the City Bowl. Please call if you need a collection or more information. Tel 021 5922922.
