A Scrapbooking Bridal Shower

May 17th, 2009

Scrapbooking is very popular because it is a way to preserve your memories and express your creative side at the same time. It is also something that even a novice can do, which makes it a good idea for a bridal shower. You will need to do a little bit of advance preparation to pull it off, but it will be well worth it. To make it really special, have each guest create a page during the shower that will be bound into a scrapbook for the bride to take at the end of the party.

The first place to start when planning a scrapbooking bridal shower is with the invitations. Ask each guest to gather photos of the bride to bring to the party. Friends can bring pictures of themselves with the bride. Family members can gather everything from baby pictures to graduation and birthday photos to pictures of the bride and groom together. It would be really cute if the groom’s mom brought a few of his baby pictures along as well. Also ask each guest to come up with a special memory or quote to add to her page.

The host of the bridal shower should supply the guests with the supplies that they will need. For starters, you will need loose scrapbook pages, scissors, and glue sticks. Other things to provide include scissors or cutters that create decorative edges, patterned origami paper, stickers, and other decorative motifs. It would be a good idea for the host to have one page made up in advance that can be used as the first page in the scrapbook. Put it on display so that newcomers to the craft will have an example in front of them.

Finally, wrap up your scrapbooking shower by assembling the pages from the party into an album for the bride. If there is room left in the book, put in some blank pages so that she can add to her memory book with pictures from her bridal shower, wedding, and honeymoon. A scrapbooking party is a fun and unique bridal shower idea that will leave the bride with a very special keepsake at the end of it all.
