Why make a photo album after an evening with friends?

You've just had an evening with your friends and you want to keep the memory. The goal here is to make this evening memorable and to be able to travel through time. What's great about these evenings is that there are often a multitude of people taking pictures of everything and anything, especially with anyone. People mix, some meet for the first time, where others see each other again. It's often a very beautiful moment of sharing. So don't wait any longer and start creating a photo album that will make all your friends nostalgic.

Why a photo album?

The album might seem old-fashioned at first glance, but far from it. There is indeed nothing better to stand out than to create a photo album. Sure, it's nice to look back on your phone at the snapshots of an evening spent with friends, but an album has more charm. Moreover, your friends will be more than happy to see that you took the time to make a photo album rather than scrolling through party photos on your phone.

Better than selfies

Indeed, it is nice to spend an evening with friends and take photos with everyone, but once it is over, the photos of your evenings look alike and blend together. The problem is that they are all on your phone and you do not showcase them enough. That's why your evenings sometimes deserve to have a photo album dedicated to them. So take the plunge, put your phone aside a little bit and bring out your best camera and take the opportunity to have your friends pose throughout the evening. Don't hesitate to delegate and pass the camera to them.

A memory for your friends

One of the first qualities of a photo album, especially when it is an album made in tribute to an evening, is that it can be a magnificent gift for guests. What could be better than reliving the evening you spent with your friends. In addition to the nostalgic aspect, it shows the friendship you feel for your loved ones. Much more expressive than a simple snapshot, taking the time to make an album of an evening shows the importance you place on your friends, a caring and touching action for them.

The steps for a good photo album

To make a good album, you will need to follow a process in order not to skip steps. So, your roadmap to make the photo album of your evening as best as possible is as follows:

• Notify your guests: Indeed if you can warn your guests in advance that you plan to create a photo album, it's better. The goal here is to encourage people to take pictures, to have as much content as possible for you. And even if your friends naturally take photos, letting them know adds to their desire, and you'll get the best shots from your friends.
• Sort your photos: After gathering all your friends' photos it's time to sort them out, and this is one of the most important parts, indeed since you asked your friends to take photos during the evening, don't be surprised if there are some misses. Between the one who struggles to frame, the one who takes blurry pictures or the one who took the same one 10 times, you will have to sort.
• Try to take as many photos as possible: With as many different people, try to vary the places of the evening but also the moments. Nothing is better than making a chronological album where the evening starts gently with respectable pictures to end with the end of the party where the celebration is in full swing.
• Choose the right format: Once you have taken all your photos, make sure the result is cohesive and graphic by choosing the best type of album for your snapshots, this will depend if you have more selfie photos or more group photos in landscape. There are sites where you can choose pre-designed themes, like FlexiLivre which has a category solely dedicated to festive photo albums.
  

You now know how and why to make a photo album of your evenings. So don't waste time, for your next party, invite your guests and ask them to take as many pictures as possible to make an album that will later offer them a unique moment of nostalgia by remembering all the best moments of the evening.
