For a special graduation gift, present your graduate with a photo book filled with letters of congratulations from everyone in the family. This the perfect way to combine photos of your graduate's favorite family members and special friends with letters of encouragement and congratulations that the graduate can take with them as they head out into the world.

As you get ready to create your book, first send out an email to your graduate's friends and family members asking them to send you a photo of themselves, with the graduate if possible, and a letter to go along with the photo. Ask your contributors to make sure that the photos they send you are 300 dpi images that are at least 1280 by 1007 pixels which have been saved with minimal compression. This will ensure that they look excellent in print.

After you have collected your family's photos and special messages, create a new book in Picaboo. Dedicate at least one page to each family member and include the photos they have contributed as well as the message that they have shared. For a finishing touch, select a custom background that compliments their photos.

When you have completed your graduation gift book, order a professionally bound copy at least two weeks before the big event to ensure that it will arrive in time. This is one gift your graduate will be sure to take with them wherever they head to, and they will cherish it for years to come.
