Creative Ideas for a Post-Holiday Photobook

Turn Your Holiday Photos into a Creative, Must-Keep Photobook

Returning home after a holiday can bring on the post-travel blues. As you shake the sand out of your sneakers and revive those neglected house plants, don’t let the holiday memories fade! Creating a holiday photobook is the perfect way to relive your adventures – and keep the travel spirit alive until your next getaway.

Create a #Hashtag

If you went on holiday with friends or family, create a unique hashtag (like #SmithFamilyHoliday2024) and make sure everyone uploads their photos using it. A quick Instagram search will collect all your pics for the photobook. Just be sure your hashtag isn’t already taken!

Include Stories

A photobook isn’t only about photos – it’s about the memories, too. Add quotes, anecdotes, inside jokes, and stories that tie into your images. A holiday photobook also makes the perfect gift for your fellow travellers!

Let Your Photos Tell a Story

Before you start designing, think about the story you want your photobook to tell. Will it be chronological? Or grouped into sections like food, activities, and sightseeing? Organise your photos into folders first to save time.

Choose the Best Layout for Your Photos

Pick a layout that matches your photos: landscape works best for panoramic shots, while portrait is great for people-focused memories. If you want versatility, opt for a square layout.

Find the Perfect Layout

Less is More

Give your photos some breathing room! Limit each page to 4–6 images to avoid a cluttered look. If you have extra photos that didn’t make the cut, add an ‘outtakes’ page at the back for a fun touch.

Add in the Extras

Scan in maps, tickets, brochures, and receipts from your trip. These little mementos will make your photobook feel even more personal and memorable.
