What is a family yearbook?

A family yearbook is a photo book of one year of your family's life together — holidays and trips, birthdays and first days of school, and all the ordinary weekends in between, in the order they happened.

A tradition for every anniversary

Many families make a new book every year — on their wedding anniversary, on the day their family began, or each December. One book follows another, and over the years they become your family's whole story on a shelf: how you met, moved, welcomed children and grew up together. Children love looking back at them, and grandparents love getting a copy.

What to put inside

  • everyday moments at home
  • holidays, trips and celebrations
  • milestones: a new home, a new baby, first steps, the first day of school
  • photos from everyone — both parents' phones, the grandparents', a camera

From Facebook or your own photos

Connect Facebook and choose the year, or upload photos from your phone, computer or camera — or use both. We pick the best shots, remove duplicates and design the book automatically, so it's ready to print right away. You can still change anything if you like.
