Scrapbooking Keepsake Ideas for your Next Baby Shower Event

If you have ever gone out to the store and tried to buy a baby album you would be surprised to see that ridiculous price they command. The same goes for materials which are specifically used to make scrapbooks. It is a million dollar industry because they command such high prices and people actually go out and buy these items.

What would you say if I were to tell you that you don't need to go out and spend a ridiculous amount to have memories for years to come? On top of that, these memories can make fun and amazing games at the baby shower itself. There are a few things you can go and buy such construction paper and all sorts of colorful markers as well as scrapbooking tape. You can also buy different kinds of glitter and anything else you wish to make your scrapbook look great.

The first thing you can do is ask each person who attends your party to bring just a simple index card or you can provide it for them. The reason for this is because you can have them draw out their names and put them in the book so you can always know who was there for you on your day. Another great idea would be if you don't know the gender of your baby, you can have your guests guess a gender and then give him/her an appropriate name. It is a great way to get good ideas from the people who mean the world to you.

Another great idea is to use that construction paper to have your guests write their words of wisdom on. This can be something your child looks at later on in life and something that can be looked back upon with a smile. If you went and bought some scrapbooking tape this is your chance to use it.

You can have your guests each bring a picture of themselves or maybe more than one. With this you can tape the picture of the people who gave advice right next to the advice itself. That way it isn't a struggle later on to remember who said what and when. If on the other hand you are looking for scrapbooks that are premade there are a wonderful selection of books that come with everything you could ever need. They are tailored for different genders as well as with different colors. You can buy them at any crafts store.

There are different kinds some of which come with the works and many more. Scrapbooking at baby showers has become very popular and it is a great way to remember the great times you had later on down the line with your children.
