if we have been married for 20 years do we still have to send wedding photos ? and maybe some hoilday pictures?
any clue? thanks
 
Congratulations on 20 years of marriage! =D


Although it may seem strange to you or I, they DO like wedding photos.

It's always better to send a good quality sampling of your time together, for instance in your case a photo or two from before marriage, wedding photo (1 or 2) and a pic from each 'major' event. As for the holidays: if you celebrate Christmas, let's say, you'd send three or four from various years, not all 20 years. Same with other major celebrations. (I use Christmas as an example; your culture/religion may have Kwanzaa, Passover, etc.)

Some say, 'more is better'. Let a discerning eye be the judge. It's better with perhaps 40 - 50 pictures from all 20 years picking out the 'good stuff' than 2 000 pictures from each year just because you both are shutterbugs. ^^ Try to go for a storyboard - you're telling your love story with the photos, covering a span of time that shows solidity and comprehension in a relationship. If a stranger can /see/ the progression of time in your relationship, you've done it right.

Bidding you all the best wishes!

Thanks another a question can the pics be scanned onto normal print paper or do they have to be individually re printed?

Yes. Plain paper, no special printing (home printer...could even be black and white). I just pasted photos into a Word doc and typed the details below each pic and hit print.
 
Oh, my goodness! I just realized we did not put any wedding photos in our package :o

We actually had only a civil ceremony at city hall. Were were the only ones to attend. We are actually planning on having a religous ceremony after all of the immigration stuff has been settled. We sent a lot of other pictures (about 25). Does anyone know how they will view this?
