Planning Checklist" for more details.
- EVENT
SIZE -
Does the company have experience doing events of the size you need in

What type of prints are they? If ink, how long will they last? Do they
have UV coating to protect them from exposure to light?
- GUEST
REVIEW -
Do the guests get a chance to see their photograph before it is printed?
If not, do they get a reprint if they don't like it? Will that cost
extra?

Guests really like a photo e-mailed to them in addition to a print,
is this an option?

- TEXT
and LOGO -
Will the company put your message on the photos? Is there a choice of
what it will look like? Do they have a service that each guest can type
