Tip of the Day: Design a fun sign-in book for your engagement party, bridal shower or wedding reception using the photos from your engagement shoot. "This is a great way to showcase your favorite snapshots with guests in a format that they can flip through and view at their leisure. You'll also enjoy reading your loved ones' messages years later as you review the book," says Stephanie Kleinman from SDK Photo & Design.

Be sure to include enough white space in the layout for your guests to leave notes. Also, use a book with hinge binding that lays flat, so it's easy for people to open it without making a crease in the pages.
