Ways to Organize Your Albums

There's no "right" way to organize Albums within your FOREVER Account…that being said, it can be hard to determine which way is "right" for you!


  • Organize by year. Self-explanatory - go in chronological order! This is a great way for those who have years of memories to sift through. Plus, with our ability to nest albums within albums, you could organize by month within each year!
  • Organize by event. Some people choose to group by event, labeling albums after holidays & other milestones. Some common ones are "Christmas" and "Back to School."
  • Organize by family group. A favorite of genealogists, sorting by family group allows you to look back in time at your ancestry. Example: If your last name is "Schreiber," your maiden name is "White," and your maternal family's name is "Droppelman", you'd have an album for "Schreiber," "White," and "Droppelman" respectively.
  • Organize by "thing." Okay, this one sounds weird - hear us out. "Thing" in this case means "type" more than anything else. You could group your albums by "People," "Places," "Pets," etc., or get a little more specific with "Cousins," "Children," and "Pittsburgh." This might be a more generic way of grouping, but it's certainly helpful for some people! Of course, this is also a great method for tagging.

These are just 4 options, but like we mentioned: there's no "right" way.
