Album purchase

How far in advance should I purchase my album?
You can buy your album at any point before your wedding day. If you want to include the insert cards when you send out your wedding invitations we would recommend that you buy your album approximately one month before you are planning to send your invitations. This will allow enough time to receive your personalised cards.

Don't worry if you have already sent your wedding invitations, you can use the table cards on your wedding day and include your insert cards with your thank you letters after your wedding to remind your guests. In this instance we recommend that you buy your album as soon as possible before you wedding.

I don't live in the UK, can I buy an album?
If you live outside the UK you will still be charged in pounds sterling and you will be subject to the prevailing exchange rate at point of purchase. You may incur additional charges via your card issuer.

You will still need to read and agree to the standard terms and conditions regardless of where you live. We may also need to contact you to arrange payment of any additional postage charges and any other charges required to send your cards to your place of residence.

Can I extend the time my album is published online for?
Yes, your album will be available online for one year from your wedding date and we will contact you before it expires to see if you wish to extend your album for an additional 12 months.

Information for guests

How will my wedding guests know we have an album?
We provide you with attractive personalised cards to send alongside your invitations as well as table cards to use on your wedding day. Sending cards out with your invitations will remind guests to bring their digital cameras and take lots of photos.

Don't worry if you have already sent your invitations, you can give out the extra cards on your wedding day or send them out alongside your thank you cards.

Uploading photos

How many photos can my guests upload?
Your guests should be able to upload all the photos they want to. We constantly monitor the optimum size of album to ensure that your guests can upload their photos

How long after our wedding can guests upload photos for?
Your guests must upload their photos within 4 weeks of your wedding date, which is advised on the personalised cards.

This time limit exists to encourage your guests to upload their photos as soon as possible after your wedding to avoid delaying you in editing and publishing your album.

Can my guests upload videos to my album?
At this stage, only photographs can be uploaded in .jpg, .bmp and .gif file formats.

What quality will the uploaded photos be?
We will save three versions of each photo so they can be displayed as thumbnails and a suitable onscreen size. The third size is for any photos that you or your guests download - this size will be suitable for printing at a standard 7x5 photo size.

What if someone uploads an unsuitable photo?
You will be able to delete any photos that your guests upload that you don't want to keep. Wedding of the Year also reserves the right to monitor all photos being uploaded and delete any inappropriate images.

Please review the terms and conditions for what Wedding of the Year consider to be inappropriate images. If the administrator deletes any photos, you will be sent an email and the prohibited content will be moved to your discarded photos section. You can contact us if you would like the photo to be reinstated to your album and we will reassess the photo against our prohibited content criteria. We have this policy for everyone's enjoyment.

What will my photos be used for if I upload them?
By uploading your photos you are agreeing that they can be displayed via www.weddingoftheyear.com and that anyone with the guest login details of the album you contribute to can download a copy and order prints and photo products of your image(s) if they wish. If you do not want your photos to be used in this way, please do not upload your photos. Further information can be found in the terms and conditions that need to be read and agreed to before uploading your photos.

Why can't I see the photos that I have uploaded in the album straightaway?
Photos that have been uploaded by guests are only shown in the online wedding album once the wedding couple have seen them, chosen them and republished their album to reflect any changes. If you can't see your photos it may be that the wedding couple haven't seen your photos yet and haven't had a chance to republish their album. You will not see your photos immediately even if the album is available to view as a guest.

Can we print any of the photos uploaded to our album?

You and your guests will be able to download the photos from your online album and then upload your favourites to Photobox to place your order. The quality of these downloaded images will be suitable for printing at 7x5 providing the original uploaded image was of sufficient quality.
