When you are done scrapbooking an event, what do you do with your extra pictures?

I am just starting to scrapbook my wedding. I have about 200+ candid pictures and over 700 professional pictures. We have a professional album with about 60 or so pictures in it and a regular photo album for the candids. I am wondering what I should do with my extra pictures after I am done scrapbooking. I can’t put all of the pictures into the scrapbook and its seems weird to have just the extras in an regular album. This is a silly problem, but I am wondering, how does everyone else deal with this?

If they are copies and you do not wish to store them, they would make wonderful gifts to friends and family!

I usually put my extras in a photobox.

My sister-in-law gave away a few when she wrote thank you notes to her guests.

I give them to homeless people so they can pretend they have a family the next time they meet up with the other homeless people at a gala, maybe even a ball.. you know they like to hang out in the dumpsters in used tuxedoes that 12yr. old children used to wear.. but i digress.. i give them to homeless people so they feel important.

For wedding pictures, I would put them in the attic in a good storage container. Here is a suggestion that my wife has done with multiple scrap books (not necessarily weddings). Scan all of the pictures, and put all of the images on a CD, then get one of the paper envelopes for CD’s and stick it in your photo album. That way whenever you get an urge to look at the photos (even the ones in the album), you can insert it into your computer or DVD player and give them a look. It doesn’t take much room that way, but you preserve the images so that you don’t have to go stumbling around in the attic to find them.

I would put them in an album. There is nothing wrong with having “Wedding 3″!! Someday you will be happy that you have pictures of good ole what’s her name! Or you can give the leftovers/duplicates (you only need 10 of what’s her name) to friends and family.
