Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

decide on what pics to put in your album???
i seriously want most of them... lol

i dont even have a crazy amount of proofs- i can pick out 70 pics which i thought seemed like a good amount... but its seriously is alot harder than i thought!!!

just a little vent... so happy i got them but man...

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

I've been deciding for the past 3 weeks...I still haven't picked all of mine yet!

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

It took us 8 months. I am so not the person to ask lol.

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

it has been almost 3 months and we are still trying to decide... we've just been making different piles and going through them to eliminate... and then we go through them all and eliminate again, then again... we're on phase 3 of elimination i think... it's a really hard process, i like soo many of them

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

def hard process...

mine are in albums and in order... so ive cut 70 post-its into strips and just keep moving them around...

everytime i go back to look at what i picked, and convince myself i am fully commited- i go moving the post its around cause i find a MUST HAVE pic.. LOL

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

Over a year later we still have not picked our albums yet b/c we can't seem to agree. It is tough!

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

Well I went through frist and tabbed all the pics I loved. Then DH went through and tabbed all the pics he loved. Any picture that we both chose def went in. from there we went over the other pics we liked and decided from there which would make the album.

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

we are almost at the 6th month mark and still haven't done it. its too overwhelming. we finally sat like 2 weeks ago and tried to narrow some pics down but its way too hard so we gave up for now.

Re: Got my proofs!!! :) how did you ladies...

What I did was look through them ALL over and over and over again. Then I picked out the MUST HAVES, then I picked out the ones I liked. I had a stack about about 300 pictures. I went through them again and got it down to 200 (I needed 120 for my album). Then I sat down with my sister (Maid of Honor) and she went through them and picked out the ones she thought wouldn't work with the album. We ended up with 119 so we just added 1 more that DH would like and called it a day.

What I was GOING to do is pick out the ones I like, then DH was going to go through that and pick up the ones he liked from my pile, until we got down to 120 but he's busy studying for a HUGE test.

Good Luck! It's REALLY HARD!
