Instructions Sent After Ordering

Thank you so much for placing an order with us! We’re excited to get started on your book. Below are the next steps for sending your content, along with a few important policies to review. If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help.

Step 1: Fill Out a Short Form

You should receive a form after ordering. This will give us necessary details about your book like the mission name, dates, and cover photo.

Step 2: Send Us Your Emails

Emails

  • Forward emails one by one to contact@mymissionmoments.com (this ensures proper formatting).
  • Emails do not need to be sent in order.
  • If your emails are saved as a PDF, please send them in the order you’d like them to appear in the book.
  • If your emails are stored in a blog, email us so we can determine the best way to access them.
  • If you have a current missionary, you may add us to their email list to keep everything organized.
  • If you ordered books for multiple missionaries, please:
    • Send all content for one missionary first
    • Let us know when that set is complete
    • Then send the next missionary’s content
      We do not sort mixed emails from multiple missionaries.

Photos Included in Emails

  • Supported file types: JPG and PNG
  • We support files sent as attachments (this does not include drive links). 
  • We do not place photos in a specific order within emails or albums. This allows us to maximize book space.
  • If photos are not supported, we will either:
    • Charge a $20 hourly formatting fee, or
    • Upgrade your order from our standard email service to our blog service

Google Photos/Extra Photos

  • We will add up to 1000 Google Photos (or photos sent through a zip file, Google Drive, etc.) to your book at no extra cost.
  • Your Google Photos will be sorted in your book by the month that they were taken.
  • Please ensure that your albums allow anyone with the link to access while your book is being created – we work on books as a team!

Step 3: Send Additional Content (Optional)

You may also send anything else you’d like included in your book (beyond weekly emails).

How to Send Extras

  • Send each type of extra content in a separate email
  • Clearly label the subject line (e.g., “Mission Call,” “Farewell Talk,” “Airport Photos”)

Step 4: Important Policies to Review

  • Our standard formatting places all of your email text before the attached photos. If you’d love photo captions included, just let us know in advance — we’re happy to add these for $20/hour.
  • We’d love for you to take a quick look at your photo quality before sending! If you’d like to swap any out later, that’s available for $20/hour.
  • We keep your emails’ grammar and wording exactly as written. If you’d like us to make edits, we’re happy to do so for $20/hour.
  • We ask that you remove any duplicate photos before sending your PDF — if we end up sorting through duplicates ourselves, we’re happy to take care of it for $20/hour.
  • We typically fit 6–9 photos per page, and we love making your favorites extra special by sizing them larger when we can — just let us know in advance which ones to highlight!
  • Our editing program uses Samsung-style emojis (not Apple), so keep that in mind.
  • Bolded and underlined text will carry over automatically, but colored or italicized text won’t automatically transfer into the book.
  • Simple formatting requests (like centered headings) are free if you let us know early in the process!
  • Once your book is complete, we’re happy to make major revisions for an additional $20/hour.

Final Step: Let Us Know When You’re Done

Once you’ve sent everything you want included in the initial draft, let us know and we’ll begin compiling your book.

Thank you again for trusting us with these meaningful memories—we’re so excited to work on your book!

Best,
Sadie & Emma
