I got married on Christmas Eve and my dad took pictures with a digital camera. The pictures came out great but the problem is, he took the pictures using the smallest size on the camera so now that i am trying to get the actual prints from Walgreens, they are saying that they do not recommend that i order prints larger than wallet size! what can i do? these are my wedding pictures! i can't order 5 sets of wallet size pictures! that's silly! but if i take a chance of ordering a size larger than wallet size what will happen? the pics will be discontorted? unclear? what? i don't want to order 60 wallet size pictures of my wedding. please give me an easy, fast solution to this problem. thanks. i am panicking right now.
1) contact the guests and see if anyone else took photos at a higher quality. Print those instead.
2) print some images larger than wallet size to see what you would consider to be acceptable quality. Most likely, you'll have images with low detail and/or blockiness as you go up in print size. However, it may be possible that you will find 4 x 6 images to be barely acceptable.
3) find a real photographer (sorry dad) and re-create a few critical photos. Sadly, some photos you won't be able to recreate.
4) A pro lab may be able to interpolate the images somewhat to get slightly better results for a bigger print. But they can't create data from nothing if it was never recorded.
5) Make sure what you are providing Walgreens are the original image files and not thumbnails. I had this happen, where I provided a client both full-size images and thumbnails for viewing via a CD. The client had prints made at Costco…from the thumbnails. Needless to say, the images weren't that good from thumbnails. Once I pointed her to the full-size images, she was a lot happier.
For other readers: never trust important or once in a lifetime precious moments to a non-professional or an unskilled relative with a camera. Always make sure that the photographer you pick has satisfied customers, as well as a personally-shot portfolio (I know of one wedding "photographer" whose online portfolio consists of stock wedding images taken by others).

There is no easy solution. Order one set of wallet size and one set of regular size. These things happen, you will have some fuzzy larger pics. Trust me, there is NO WAY to improve the resolution on a fuzzy picture. I couldn't do it even if I had photoshop, which I know how to run but do not have.
Sorry—wish there was an answer for this. there is not. Suggest you get dressed up in your gown and his suit today and take a few pictures the right way if you haven't returned the stuff, if it was not rented.

The solution is simple: re-take those fotos when you print those original ones out. And of course the quality will not that pretty as the original ones.
And apparently there's no one around you is able to do this work, so you'd better go to ask for help from the professional guys to do this for you.
