Wedding Album Maker Gold lets you create albums of photographs that you can share at your wedding. Designed to assist frustrated couples with their receptions, this free program is an easy way to create a slideshow or another presentation that you can play during your reception. You can add images of you and your spouse as children, pictures of the two of you together and photographs that will make your guests feel like they know you a little better. Unlike other similar programs, you can download this one for free today.

Creating a slideshow on your home computer without the right software is like trying to cook without utensils. Though you might finally accomplish your goals, you will not get the finished product that you want. This software lets you create a presentation from your images, add videos when you want and music that helps set the scene. You can also use artwork and text to create your own phrases and images throughout the presentation and to highlight specific images. If you want to create a professional level presentation without spending a lot of time or money, this program can help.

Putting together your perfect wedding album only takes a few simple steps. Open the program, open your image files, drag the images from the file and drop those images right in the album. After adding those images, you can go through the slideshow slide by slide to add any extra elements that you want, including texts and music. You can then watch the presentation a few times to see if you are happy or if you want to add anything new. For the last step, simply place a blank CD in your computer and burn a copy of the album right on the disc. You can play your wedding album on a computer, with a DVD player or over a projector.

Though Wedding Album Maker Gold is a wedding product, you will also find other ways to use it. You can create a slideshow that features images taken during your reception to share with guests, and you can use it to create fun presentations for dances, anniversaries and other special events. As long as you can drag an image from your computer to the program, you can create fun albums that your family and friends will love. Uploading music and creating fun phrases lets you build a customized album like no one else has. As an added bonus, you can also upload your slideshow to your wedding website or a family blog to share with those who could not make it to the wedding.
