Pixum Family Planner: qick tips on making yours

Already feel inspired and keen to create a personalized family calendar? The following tips will give you an overview of what to keep in mind while making your calendar:

  • the bigger the calendar size, the more space you have for your entries. There are calendar templates for family calendars with multiple columns available for large sizes (e.g. A3 calendars) - so each family member gets their own column for appointments! You can also make a single desk calendar with most important appointments for the whole family.
  • the free Pixum Photo World software offers you a great variety of modern backgrounds and patterns, with allows you to highlight very special months for the family, e.g. a month with most birthdays or the wedding anniversary.
  • use different page layouts to make a photo collage combining several photos instead of adding a single large photo to the calendar page.
  • add the confirmed appointments and recurring dates for the whole year in advance. School holidays, public holidays and birthdays are good examples to that.

Calendar entries for every family member

To make sure, the family planner can be used by all family members, pick a calendar template from the "Family" section. It's possible to add up to 20 columns but make sure you've got the largest calendar size in this case.

The family calendar template is available for all wall calendar at Pixum.

Like other Pixum photo gifts, your family planner can be created either online or in the Pixum Photo World software. However, adding personal entries is exclusively available in the software. There, you will also find more design options, which you might wish to use to highlight single columns.

Family snaps of your everyday life are best for a family planner

Select photos wisely and make the unique photo combinations to a design tool. For example, you can add old & new school portraits of each family member to the page when the school year begins.

Don't stop by photos: You could also scan paintings and add them to your calendar. Or you could use your most beautiful landscape shots from last year's holidays together - there are no limits to your creativity!

Make your family planner to an eye-catcher by adding the images that match a particular theme. How about a wall calendar embellished with scanned artworks of your little painters? Or macro photography of your blooming garden?

If you've decided to use family portraits in the calendar, start with a group photo of the whole family and then dedicate each page to one particular family member. Rotate the combination to fill all the calendar pages.
