Shutterfly Wedding Album Came!

Victoria, on January 30, 2019 at 9:12 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 12
So we got our wedding album yesterday! We looked at a few different sites - Artifact Uprising, Snapfish, Shutterfly, another that I don't remember - and ultimately decided on Shutterfly. We liked their layouts and felt they were much more customizable than the others. The spendy side of me wanted to go all out so we did and I just love the way it came out.

We did the acrylic cover and lay flat pages. Seriously, pictures do not do it justice. It is stunning and the quality is top notch. We had a lot of extra pages because I like a blank intro page to each section - Getting Ready, The Ceremony, The Reception. I waited for a free extra pages sale with 40% off only to find out that the free pages offer does not apply to lay flat pages. But Shutterfly's customer service is pretty good and they made a one-time exception for us so we got our extra pages for free!

Then we got the album and I was so disappointed that the binding was black when we ordered blue to match our wedding colors. I say I because my husband didn't care either way lol. I contacted them and they offered to give us a credit to reorder it. We didn't know what we'd do with two albums so we asked for a discount instead and they gave us 25% off, so another $140 saved! (I did have to send them a picture to prove the binding was black.)

So... If you're wondering what site to use to put together your album, I highly recommend Shutterfly.

    I love shutterfly! I did our canvas print through them and I love it! I did it with a purple border and loved the little images I could add to it and completely customize it!

    This is beautiful!

    Up until now I was strongly considering Artifact Uprising, but I think I may be a Shutterfly convert! It is so good to hear that quality and customer service are on their A-game!

    If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your album with all the bells and whistles?

    We got our parents albums through shutterfly and were so pleased with them! We plant o our one for ourselves as well from there. I had no idea an acrylic cover was even an option though! Love it!

    Our album is 12x12 with I believe 28 spreads, the acrylic cover (which is nice and thick!) and lay flat pages. We paid $574.40 but because they erred on the color they refunded us $143.60 so our end total was $430.80.

    I designed it, reviewed it with my husband, stuck it in my cart and worked out what the cost would be with the different sales I knew they ran to figure out when we'd get the best bang for our buck. Once the sale popped up that I knew gave us the best price I ordered it.

    Thanks for sharing! So you chose their Premium album, right? Did their discount apply to the “core” album and just not their extra pages?

    I LOVE their regular album tool. So I want to try their Premium product for our wedding one. Good to know.

    Yes, premium album, so the pages are thick, almost cardboard-like too. There's definitely no bending the pages!

    The sale was for extra free pages then 40% on top of that to their original page count and any upgrades added like the cover, gilding, etc. I believe some lower priced options like their storytelling style layouts (normally $5 or $6) and rounded pages were only discounted 30%, but the big ticket options had the full 40% discount.
