You’re throwing a baby shower party for one of your closest friends to celebrate the arrival of her newborn. A baby shower will not only let her spend time with her friends and close relatives, but also let her receive gifts she can use when her baby comes out. With lots of fun and merrymaking, this is the best way to welcome her little angel.

You’ve decided to have an intimate baby shower, since your friend isn’t fond of large celebrations. Even so, if you’re only going to have a small party, you still want to have a fun theme to make it more enjoyable. That’s why you’ve decided to have a baby scrapbooking party.

A baby scrapbooking party is a theme that centers on creating a scrapbook for the mom-to-be. In the midst of all the party festivities, the guests spend their time together creating a special memento for the mommy and her little angel. For small baby shower parties, this is a very enjoyable and creative theme party planners often turn to.

Planning a baby scrapbooking party is not very difficult. Here are several creative suggestions you can use for this event.

Crafty Invites: Baby Scrapbooking Invitations

Let the theme’s creative air show off in your invitations! Instead of getting store-bought invites, make your own homemade ones. You just need colored construction paper and coloring materials. You can paste photos of baby items on the invitations, or better yet, photos of the pregnant mom-to-be.

Note in the invitation that since the baby shower is a scrapbooking party, the guests should bring materials that can be used in the creation of the scrapbook. Ask them to bring photos of themselves, and if they have some, pictures of themselves with the mom-to-be.

Baby Scrapbooking Decorations: Festive Scrapbook

Most scrapbooks are colorful and vibrant with lots of materials in it. Remember this thought when decorating the venue. Use bright streamers, confetti and banners. Then, add some baby items here and there, such as diapers, baby clothes, baby bottles and pacifiers.

You can also create a small “baby shower freedom wall” for the mommy-to-be. Post a large poster paper on the wall, near the venue entrance. When guests enter, they should write a message for the mom-to-be. After the party, she can keep this as a souvenir.

Baby Scrapbooking Food: Creative and Yummy Treats

Since everyone is busy with the scrapbook, prepare simple yet delicious finger foods and beverages for the guests. Just make sure they look festive and colorful, consistent with the theme. For example, if you’re serving cupcakes, decorate them with colorful frosting. For the drinks, make fruit punch with actual fruit bits mixed in it. The fruit can add a colorful appearance to the drink.

Scrapbooking Fun Activities: Making The Scrapbook

Since the focus of the party is on the scrapbook you’re making for the mommy, make sure everyone contributes to it. Allot a page for everyone, so they can write their greetings and wishes for the mommy. Let the guests take turns when filling in the space, while the mom-to-be is busy with something else, such opening her gifts. When everyone has had her turn, let the mom choose which page she thinks is the most creative. The guest who created the page gets a special prize. (More tips on how to make a scrapbook)

Ask someone to bring a Polaroid camera, and take photos of the event. Then, allot a space for the pictures, and let everyone have fun filling in the captions for the pictures.

Scrapbooking Memories: Adorable Party Favors

It’s nice for the guests to have a keepsake to remind them of the event. You can give them cute mini-notebooks or planners, with a short “thank you note” from the mom-to-be inside. Another great idea is to compile all the baby shower photos into an album, make several copies of it, then send it to the guests after the party.

A baby scrapbooking party is a wonderful and enjoyable event you can throw for a special mommy-to-be. Go ahead and have this fun party! The mommy will surely appreciate everyone’s help in putting together the scrapbook. For more information regarding this article, read Baby Shower Ideas.
