At my baby shower, I received a couple of baby photo albums. But a few weeks ago I bought my own very cute ones. What should I do. I really like the ones I bought myself better, what my family might be hurt if I don’t use theirs.
I can’t use them as the baby grows. I bought 10 photo albums on my own to use as the baby grows. I am a photographer so I take tons of pictures. I have almost 800 pictures just of my little cousin and he’s not even 3 yet.

I was the same way. My little cousins had pictures coming out the wazoo… but I took even more when my two precious ones came. You will need them! If you do not fill them all keep them anyway, after all…. if you have another child you can save them for them!
Use them as the baby grows – Volume 1, 2, 3, etc.
I would keep them. I’ve never taken so many pictures in my life since having my son! If you’re anything like me you will fill them in no time!
Save them for baby #2.
your gonna need them. just keep them and fill yours first and then the ones from family. your gonna have tons of pictures to store in them. even as the baby get older.
what a thing to worry about. use them all
Sell it on Ebay and just don’t tell anyone.
Just take them back, people should understand that if you get doubles of things one has to go back, and they should be ‘grown up’ enough to understand this lol. Its very common that people have to return and exchange things. No worries =) Good luck and congrats!
You will probably have enough baby photos to fill all of the albums, so I would not worry about it.
You could put your favorite photos in the albums you love, and then in the other albums you could place photos of your newborn with the family members who gave the albums to you. Then, when they came to visit they would see that you are using their albums and that you remember who gave them to you.
Don’t worry, you will use them.
Print two pictures each time and make two identical albums (one will be for the proud grandparents). Says me, who never had time to fill even one album (I kept all presents but used shutterfly.com to make photobooks for all familymembers).
use them for specific occasions…one for Easter, then Christmas then Thanksgiving then one for pictures with the family who gave them..one for daycare friends, one for cousins, one for grandparents then eventually they will be an occasion timeline with pictures of grandparents and child over a long period of time…see the change in both
i,d keep them anyways . you’ll be surprised at how many pictures your gonna take
You might have alot of albums, but once you start taking pics of your baby your not going to stop! So keep them you and you never know you might need them for another baby.
you can keep them for future children, or give them as presents for people that you know arew having kids, most people dont think of things like this, so they are always a nice suprise.. umm or you could use them for pics of you while ur pregnant with bubs or something? i dont have a clue otherwise.
Put them on Ebay?? Hold on to them as gifts to give at the next baby shower you attend (where the gift givers AREN’T there??). Make a photo album FOR THEM with photos of the baby in there….they can hold onto it at THEIR house.
