Excited to learn more? Keep reading to discover how you can beautifully encapsulate your love story through an anniversary photo book from MyFUJIFILM.

Why an anniversary photo book is the perfect gift for your partner

Customised anniversary gifts show you’ve put thought and personality into the present decision. They are the perfect way to flick through your life journey together, and making them will spark long-forgotten memories. After all, nothing can reconnect you like a photo album of good times.

How to add a sense of narrative to your anniversary book gift for your partner

Creating an anniversary photo book seems like a daunting task. But we’ve curated some excellent ideas and ways to make a romantic photo book for anniversary celebrations.

Create a chronological journey

Starting from the beginning of your relationship is one of the simplest ways to tell your love story, and that looks different for everyone. When you open the cover of your personalised photo book, the initial page might be an out-of-focus party shot or your first date. But where do you go from there?

Gradually work your way, year by year, through the holidays you’ve shared and the milestones you’ve reached. Remember, an anniversary photo album isn’t just a meaningful present. It’s a fun way to remember why you fell in love.

Make your memories jump out from the page with MyFUJIFILM photo books. Their beautiful layouts and satin paper finish give a regular album an anniversary feel. All you need to do is upload eye-catching images and leave the rest to us. We’ll print, bind and deliver your story straight to your front door.

Divide your photo book into ‘chapters’

Storytelling with a photo book is tricky, so make it simple by dividing your anniversary book into chapters. It shows the development of both your lives and the adventures you’ve had along the way.

Bring your digital memories to life with our Premium Photo Books, which provide stunning visuals of vibrant colours and sharp images. The clever lay flat binding allows you to seamlessly display a landscape photo across a double spread, perfect for the beginning of each chapter.

Chapter inspiration for your anniversary photo album:

Yearly— A simple way to create chapters in your relationship is year by year. Start with your first year together and collate all the photos you have (even if it’s only a few!). Then, carry on from there.

Big milestones — Perhaps there wasn’t much happening yearly, but you celebrated significant milestones together. For example, Chapter 1: When we met. Chapter 2: Our first house. Chapter 3: Our wedding. You get the picture (pun intended).

Holidays — If you’re both avid holiday goers, you can divide your anniversary photo book into holiday chapters. Display crisp images of turquoise seas, laughing at a bar and dancing on the beach.

Don’t be afraid to add text

Sometimes, photos need a little context. It helps your loved one’s face light up as they say, ‘Oh yeah, I remember that!’ Mini Photo Books with text offer a sweet way to help your photo album read like a story. Combine it with other personalised gifts for partners for a thoughtful photo theme.

What to write in an anniversary photo album:

Dates — Have you ever screwed up your eyes at a photo and thought, ‘When was that again?’ Adding a simple date can change that thought to, ‘Wow, I can’t believe that was ten years ago. Look how young we were!’

Write a caption — Just like trying to remember dates, where you took a photo can slip your mind. A simple ‘Remember when…’Trip to the beach in Cornwall’ will help your partner recall the memory.

Add a personal anecdote — Not all text has to be factual. Sometimes, you can share a snippet of a story, like ‘The same day you fell in the sea and had to wear my flip-flops home.’

Special messages — You don’t have to write a caption beneath every photo. Small messages here and there — like your pet names for one another or a silly inside joke — are just as effective and affectionate.

Think about favourite in-jokes and special moments

Adding iconic moments to your anniversary book is guaranteed to make your loved one laugh and tug at their heartstrings. Did you capture a moment when the dog jumped up, and a cup of tea went flying? Or do you have a picture of a bench that means nothing to an outsider, but it’s the first time you both said, ‘I love you.’ Whatever it is, peppering your anniversary book with in-jokes and special moments shows extra thought and personalisation

Come up with a creative title

You aren’t confined to ‘5th anniversary’ stamped across the album front. The title can be something creative and unique that captures your relationship. Below are a few creative title ideas to play around with:

The title of a song you both love. Do you have a melody that you consider ‘our song?’ If so, it could make a brilliant title for your anniversary photo book.

A quote from a favourite movie or TV show that you watch together. Whether it’s a quote from a sitcom you watch on repeat or from the first movie you ever saw, it’s a title your loved one is sure to appreciate.

‘7 years of memories’ (or the number of years you’ve been together).

Your loved one’s nickname - Many partners have pet names for each other. So, put their nickname (or both of your pet names) as the album title to kickstart the photo journey.

‘That time when…’ This is a good title with follow-up chapters, such as, ‘That time we got married,’ ‘That time we flew to Paris,’ or ‘That time we started a family.’

Consider recreating old photos

Returning to where it all started and capturing old memories in new form is a lot of fun. Take photos of you standing on the bridge where you got engaged, having a summer picnic or even with your grown-up kids! Recreate the poses, clothes and facial expressions. It’s a lot of fun and a wonderful way to see how different you are.

Play around with physical prints

There’s no limit to creativity, and you could opt for a more traditional photo album over a printed photo book. If this sounds like an aesthetic your partner would like, why not opt for Classic Retro Prints? The square prints with a white border will give your love story a timeless, romantic style.
