Giving a 50th birthday photo album as a gift
Whether you have known the birthday boy or girl for half a century or half a decade, a personalised photo book is a thoughtful gift that keeps on giving. Our graphic design team has created a sensational collection of albums that will look right at home on any coffee table or bookshelf. And with both the softcover photo books and hardcover photo albums in a variety of styles, there is certainly something for everyone. The fabric, foil-lettered photo book with optional gift box makes a splendid gift for any occasion as special as a 50th birthday. If you had something a little more modern in mind, then a printed hardcover photo album or a layflat photo book may catch your eye instead. Both of these designs enable you to highlight a photo you love on the cover of the album. So be sure to choose a photo that will make the recipient smile and have them eager to flick through the photo book again and again. For more ideas, check out all our birthday photo albums.
Choosing the perfect pictures for a 50th birthday photo album
There is no rule when it comes to selecting the photos to include in your album gift, yet we have a few tips and tricks to help you make this 50th birthday photo book the best it can be. Begin by choosing photos that are 300 dpi in quality and ideally taken in daylight to ensure they will look sharp and bright in print. If you are keen to blow up your favourite photos to a single- or double-page spread, then you can follow our guide on how to enlarge photos for printing. In an album for a 50th birthday, it might be fun to scan old photos from the birthday girl or boy’s early years and include them in the album too! And you could even leave a few blank pages in the album to attach some of your favourite Polaroids, giving it a 3D scrapbook feel. Our most important piece of advice is to fill the photo book with images that spark joy and bring back memories of moments big and small from the last 50 years. These premium photo albums are perfect for preserving these photos, so the recipient and their family can continue to enjoy them for another 50 years!
How to make a personalised 50th birthday photo album
As with all our photo books, the first step to making the perfect 50th birthday photo book is to choose the design you prefer. Next, you can select the colourway, format and size you would like, opting for a larger album if you want to include any photo enlargements. And now all that remains is the most fun part – adding your photos! We have a range of gallery-style, full-page and bordered photo templates for you to pick from for each page of your photo book. Explore all the features of our user-friendly editing tool such as filters and captions to tell a story with your photos. Of course, if you are in a bit of a hurry to get your album ready for the big day, select the auto-fill function and we will arrange the photos in the album for you. For other loved ones in your life who might be celebrating birthday milestones, we also have ideas for 21st birthday photo albums and 40th birthday photo albums as well!
