The Moms Brag Books that I specially design have been very popular this year. I offer two different versions and often get asked about them, so I thought it was about time to show a few of them off and hopefully answer a few questions ahead of time.
I will start with the Square 7x7 sized Custom Designed Mom's Brag Book that are much like mini versions of the wedding books that I make for the bride and groom. Here is a little bit of information on this particular book:
- The 7x7 Square Book can fit up to 50 images including the back and front cover.
- The respective mom gets to pick out those images via an online gallery Favorites folder or listing in an email.
- This book fits in purses easier and contains numerous custom designed pages in addition to the designed cover.
- The is a hard cover book with pages that have a luster finish to protect against smudges and stains.
- The paper is heavy duty pearl paper that really shows off color and contrast well.
Here are a few examples of some recent square books:

Some books will have a two page spread where the image crosses over to both sides. This all depends on whether we have the right image for this style of design. Other touches include the wedding date and sayings, quotes and phrases of love, togetherness, peace and family. I really enjoy putting these together and mother's of the brides and grooms are overjoyed to have them and show off to friends and family.

The other book offered is a an 8x10, landscape sized Mom's Brag Book that also comes in a hardbound cover. Here is a little bit of information on this particular book:
- The 8x10 Book can fit up to 50 images including the back and front cover.
- The respective mom gets to pick out those images via an online gallery Favorites folder or listing in an email.
- This book is slightly larger, but the pages are plain white with photos simply laid out. Only the front and back cover is designed.
- The is a hard cover book with pages that have a luster finish to protect against smudges and stains.
- The paper is heavy duty pearl paper that really shows off color and contrast well.
Here are a few examples of some recent 8x10 books:

A custom designed mom's brag book back cover in an 8x10 size.
So what are the main differences between these two book? The 8x10 gives you the advantage of slightly large images, but isn't as easily handles or purse friendly as the 7x7 book. Also, the 8x10 will not have the design flourishes within the pages and the quotes and sayings that you see the in square designs above. Just like my wedding albums, no two books are alike. I don't believe in cookie cutter type of albums on such an important event. I want to give mom something unique just as I will the bride.eddingw
