Oh and also we went to the Casino 5 months ago and won some money and we went out to eat and took pictures of each other and what we were eating. PIZZA. But 2 different pictures is that okay also or not really? Or just print it and explain for the IO?
They need the pics that include the two of you in the same picture. Sometimes we would include pics of ourselves individually with the same background (because we took photos of each other) but I think generally you dont need to include any photos that don't have two people in them.

I personally would include that if you really needed to show proof of visiting each others relatives, and a picture of the 3 of you is not available.

I would label at least a few on the top with family members such as parents and siblings. Just to show you've met each other's families.

We have three kids so getting pictures of all of us together are pretty rare! We sent in photo's of us all at the same locations(like eating out for my birthday, or hanging out and sightseeing) where it was obvious(we also added info about the picture underneath)that we were at the same places but were only able to take photos with one of us behind the camera!

There's a table that shows more detailed processing times and approval rates by visa office. I think it's this one, but it's not downloading for me at the moment so I'm not quite sure.
Yes, this is it. You can enter your visa office to check the approval rate.

It is OK if you don't have any with the both of you with the aunt. It at least shows you have met her family members, which is considered important.

Also does anyone did it on computer and type names or do it by hand behind the pics ?

I put them in Microsoft Word at a smaller size and put a description of who it was and where it was beneath it and put a few per page rather than the actual photos with it written on back. You can do either.

Either way is OK, but you should definitely name the people in the photos, date them, and perhaps explain the situation.
