7 Lovely Ideas for a Scrapbook to Give the Bride
Start months in advance by gathering old pics, meaningful souvenirs, and sweet notes from the special people in the bride’s life. Photo files, graphics, and letters can be transmitted online from those far away, and physical mementos can be sent via courier if need be. Then, just be creative and get crafting!
Perhaps a gift of letters for the bride (1) as found on Sam Allen Creates, or a similar scrapbook of letters for the blushing bride (3) from Meg Miyoko. This is a collection of notes from those nearest and dearest to her, each featured on a separate page along with a photo of the letter writer.
