Tips & Warnings
  • You're Father's Day photo book requires a minimum of 20 pages, so you'll need at least 20 photos. You can add extra pages up to 80, and put several photos on pages in a collage form.
  • Find old photos of dad before he was a dad. Ask mom or some other old family friends and relatives for help in finding photos of dad doing things he loves.
  • If you've got several siblings, ask for help so they get their favorite photos in the book too.
  • Make sure you preview all pages to check the lay out. Spend time checking all spelling and names.
