Prepare to Make the Bridal Shower Scrapbook
If the bride used special papers for her invitations, ask for any extra for the scrap book layouts. Also ask for any coordinating card stock, ribbon and other embellishments. If this is a surprise gift, use your own materials in the color theme of the shower or of the wedding. Make sure you include these mementos:
- Shower Invitation
- Guest List
- Menu
- Items used for decorating (or pictures of the decorations)
- Sample of her Thank You notes
- Posed and Candid photos from the photographer and from family and guests
- Note Cards with messages from Bridal Shower guests
Now you have all the mementos and pictures... you're ready to assemble her Bridal Shower Scrapbook! The size and style of the scrap book will depend on the materials you have... use your best judgment! Whatever you choose, this Bridal Scrapbook will be a treasured keepsake for the bride and her family for many years to come!
