MENLO PARK, Calif., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Picaboo (http://www.picaboo.com/), makers of the innovative free software that helps people turn photos into stunning photo books, offers the latest wedding must-have -- professionally printed hardcover photo books. DIY brides wishing to commemorate and share the most important time of their lives can turn to Picaboo to make quick, personalized wedding guest books, bridal shower thank-you gifts, or a classic wedding photo album.
As the wedding season heats up, Picaboo today announced a special offer to help brides capture their wedding memories: buy a large hardcover photo book and get a medium hardcover for free. This offer, available via coupon code on the company's website until June 30, 2007, can save brides an average of $20.
In recent years, couples have been able to order professionally printed hardcover photo books through their wedding photographer -- an option that typically costs hundreds of dollars. Now, with Picaboo, making a beautifully designed photo book is possible for almost anyone who has an internet-enabled Windows PC.
"I used Picaboo to put together a proper wedding album for our parents and grandparents. I narrowed down family pictures for each individual recipient. It was fun to work on Picaboo and much more reasonable than having our photographers design and order our parents' albums," said Katy Emery Warren of Atlanta, Georgia.
Professionally designed templates and an auto-create feature can be used to make a book very quickly, or for a highly customized book, a broad range of graphics, text, colors, layouts and backgrounds can be used.
Special Wedding Idea Center
Picaboo's Idea Center, http://www.picaboo.com/ideacenter, walks customers through creating a book for virtually every occasion.

Photo books may look challenging and expensive to make, but with Picaboo, they have never been easier or more affordable. Unlike other photo book offerings, Picaboo collects photos from the user's hard drive in seconds rather than requiring a painful, time-consuming upfront uploading process.
