Summer has arrived! Hold on to your camera to catch those hilarious summer moments around the barbeque or on the family vacation.

If your family is taking a trip this summer, a unique way to catalog the trip is with a personalized magazine cover. Put your favorite picture from the vacation on the front cover, in addition to your most memorable quotes said over your trip! With a YourCover, you will be able to reminisce about that hysterical, exciting, or historical family vacation you took that one summer...OR...THAT BORING ONE TOO!

The back of a YourCover fake magazine cover also adds more space for photos and text so you can't leave ANYTHING out from your glorious trip with your family. If you didn't take a vacation, that's okay.  If you are planning to have barbecues instead, I'm sure with your friends, family, and neighbors around there is no doubt that something might happen.

The summer flies by because everyone is having fun, so don't make this a summer where everyone is going to forget. Have them remember it by putting them on a fake magazine cover for their summer birthday, personal celebrity (example title:"GRILL MASTER"), or an anniversary. You can use it as a centerpiece, invitation, or party favor for your summer event!

We just love all those bride-to-be's out there who are reviewing YourCover. We're so glad that they agree that YourCover is a really romantic gift idea or that using a YourCover personalized magazine cover as a wedding favor or table centerpiece for a wedding is really unique.

It gives the guests an opportunity to get to know a bit more about you. It breaks the ice at the table as people read the cover and compare how they know you. Other fun uses for a personalized wedding magazine cover are to put one in the rooms of overnight guests at the hotel or to give them out at the bridal shower.

Once again, thanks so much to bridetobe0309 who wrote about YourCover in her blog. Below is a snippet from her posting, click on "read more" at the end to continue reading.

Exhausted by unfunny milestone birthday cards in the Hallmark rack? Don’t have hours and hours to make and order your personalized birthday gift? There is a solution for you…

In theory, personalized birthday gifts always sound like fun. However, when it comes time to constructing custom birthday gifts, be they for a milestone birthday – like a 30th or 40th bash, or for an off number random year, like 33 or 22 – the gift giver inevitably gets swamped by logistics and extra costs. In fact, whether you're putting together a scrapbook of photos, hand knitting an embroidered blanket, or mocking up birthday T-shirts or apparel items, you'll no doubt spend far more time and energy than you anticipated you would when you first had your brilliant “custom birthday gifts” idea.

Is there a way out? Can you find an awesome personalized birthday gift that will be a terrific birthday gift for guys that won't break the bank, won't rob you of precious days of your life, and won’t end up looking gimmicky, cheep, cheesy, or overly sentimental? The answer is a resounding “yes”! The answer is a personalized magazine cover.

Here’s the deal – simply take a digital photo (or scan in a non-digital photo and upload it as digital) and use this photo as the basis for your personalized magazine cover. Then, using free online template software, add bylines, headlines, and other text and images to custom tailor the keepsake. You can generate bawdy 30th birthday magazine covers, complete with headlines describing bachelor-related trysts, work-related in jokes, and so forth. Alternatively, if you're celebrating a 40th birthday gift for a family man, you can design the page layout so that the kids of the birthday boy can write in their own headlines and even do some of the layout work. On the other hand, if you're crafting a 50th birthday magazine cover, you can riff off the timeless “over the hill” theme by, for instance, putting fake ads on the back cover for elderly assistance products, such as the Craftsmatic adjustable bed, The Clapper, and your local mortuary.

The point is, dreaming up and executing a personalized milestone birthday magazine cover is simple, fast, relatively cheap, and lots of fun to do and you will have a really great personalized birthday gift for all the guys in your life. You can embark on a project with friends and family, or you can do it quickly on your computer. Templates abound to help you get the job done efficiently, so you won't have to worry about formatting details and the like. So what do you have to lose? Explore this fun action today!
