Bachelorette/Bridal Shower Scrapbook Help

Jul '02 Ezri_B

I am hosting a bridal shower & bachelorette party for my best friend. I want to make her a fabulous scrapbook to have as a wonderful memeory of the day. I don't want her to know about the scrapbook, because I want to give it to her as a gift the morning of her wedding, so it will hopefully take the edge off the nerves a little. I have invitation, hotel picture, game sheets, planning on taking tons of pictures. But I would really like a spot with everyone to write something to her. I don't know what to have them write to her. It is going to be more of a bachelorette party than a shower. I would like something more than just wishes for the future. I wanted to give them more of a topic. Anything you can suggest would be great!!! Also if there are anything in particular that I should add that you all can think of would be great. I want this to be perfect!
Thanks

They could share a memory of a funny story involving themselves and the bride.

i like the idea of sharing the story of how they met the bride to be and how she(the bride)is special in there lives..i got a book like this it wasnt a scrapbook but just a little autograph type book with all my girlfriend telling me about what they remember about how we met and how i was special to them and it still to this day every time i read it chokes me up..its also the best because now i dont live as close to all my gal friends as i used to..so its a nice comfort on those days when you need one to pull it out and read it. sorry to be so windy..but im sure your friend will love it no mater how you do it.

For my bridal shower, my best friend made up pages that said, "My Favorite Memory of Deb" on the top and included a spot for a picture. Each guest wrote their favorite memory and Lyn took a picture of each. It was very simple, yet is so cool to look at. As the recipient, I was overwhelmed by the the things they each said. I had no idea the influence I'd been on my friends. I love to read through those when I'm having a bad day.
Where you want this to be a surprise, you could have the guests each send you an e-mail telling their favorite memory along with a picture and you could put it all together. Good luck. Let us know how it goes!
