Make a wedding book that's more than an album: the photos sequenced beautifully, plus the vows, the toasts, and guests' memories gathered by one link. Premium-color hardcover.

## The short answer

The wedding book here is the album with the story kept in: your photographer's images sequenced beautifully, the vows and toasts set between them in full, and — through one contribution link to the guest chat — the memories and photos from everyone else's side of the day, woven in with credit. Premium-color square hardcover, printed per copy: yours, the parents', the anniversary reprint.

## The physical book

Wedding books take the photo-book spec — premium color, square hardcover — because photographs carry the day. The difference is what sits between them.

Every option below is a real, printer-validated product — files are checked against the printer's own rules (trim, bleed, spine width computed from the actual page count) before anything prints, and Lulu prints on demand and ships to your door.

| Option | Trim | Pages | Ink & paper |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hardcover · premium color | 8.5×8.5 in | 24–800 | Premium ink on coated |
| Hardcover · landscape | 9×7 in | 24–800 | Full color — suits wide ceremony shots |
| Paperback (parents' copies) | 8.5×8.5 in | 32–800 | Full color |

## The album with the words kept in

Wedding albums preserve how the day looked and lose how it *sounded* — the vows you wrote at 2 a.m., the best man's toast that somehow worked, what your grandmother said in the receiving line. The wedding *book* keeps both: photographs sequenced through the day's arc, with the actual texts set between them — vows in full, the toasts (ask the speakers for their notes; they're flattered), the reading, even the menu. Twenty years on, the words are the part you can't reshoot.

The gathering trick that makes this book different: the **contribution link**, sent to the guest chat the week after. "One memory from the day, one photo we don't have" — and the book gains the day as guests saw it: the moment at table nine, the dance-floor shot no photographer caught. Claude weaves contributions in with credit, sequences the photography (full-bleed for the drama, framed pairs for the quiet moments), and drafts the connective story in your voices from what you tell it.

Practical joy: print-on-demand means the parents' copies, the officiant's thank-you copy, and the anniversary reprint are all just… ordered, whenever, one at a time.

- Collect the toast texts within a month, while speakers still have their notes
- Include one imperfect photo per chapter — the blur is where the dancing was

## How it works

**1. Bring the day**: Upload the photo selection, paste the vows and any toasts you have, and tell Claude the story of the day in your own words.

**2. Let everyone contribute**: Send Bindery's contribution link to the group — anyone can add stories, photos, recipes, or voice notes from the link, no account needed, and Claude weaves contributions in with credit.

**3. Shape it with Claude**: Claude proposes the book's structure and drafts it with you — with everything in context, so nothing gets lost between sessions.

**4. Watch the proof assemble**: A live typeset proof builds as you work: real pages, a designed cover, a spine sized from the true page count. The watermarked proof is always free.

**5. Print and share it**: Pick the format, see the per-copy price and shipping options, and Lulu prints on demand and ships to your door — one copy or a boxful. Publishing to a free storefront is optional, never required.

## What it costs

Free to start — no account needed to try, no credit card, and a monthly allowance of AI credits on the free tier. The typeset, watermarked proof is **always free**, and metered work (like image generation or narration) quotes its price in credits before you confirm. Clean press-ready files are a $49 one-time per book unlock or free with Bindery Pro ($39/month (or $390/year)); printed copies are priced per copy at order time and shipped by Lulu — no minimum run.

## FAQ

### Can wedding guests add their photos and memories?

Yes — send the contribution link to the guest group chat and anyone can add a memory or photo without an account, credited in the book. It's how the book gets the day as the tables saw it, not just as the photographer did.

### Do we have rights to use our photographer's images?

Check your contract — most wedding packages grant personal-use printing rights, which a keepsake book is. If your contract is print-limited, your photographer can usually extend personal-use rights for a small fee; the book credits them either way (nice touch: on the colophon page).

### Do I keep the rights?

Yes — authors keep ownership of their work. Print it, sell it from your free Infinite Library storefront (author-set print royalty, about 95% on ebooks, 80% on audiobooks), or keep it entirely private.
