Tired of the traditional baby shower games and looking to do something meaningful for that special mom-to-be in your life? This is the perfect activity for you! Spice up a baby shower by creating a memory album for baby’s first memories. This activity allows guests to interact and socialize, get creative and work together to create a gift mom and baby will cherish for years to come!
Here’s how!
As the host, pick-up these basic supplies:
- Adhesive
- Paper trimmer
- Scissors
- Chalk ink (I love Chestnut Roan!)
- 8″ x 8″ album
- Coordinating paper and embellishments (I used the ADORABLE October Afternoon “Ducks in a Row” collection)
- Coordinating 8 1/2″ x 11 cardstock
- Ribbon
- Basic punches (such as circles or border punches)
Once you’ve selected the creative supplies, spread out the goodies and encourage each guest to create a two-page layout allowing room for mom to add photos later. Consider pulling examples from magazines or even creating a few samples of your own to lead the way. The result will be a coordinating completed album mom can use immediately!
This idea is perfect for more than just baby showers! By simply changing the type of paper and embellishments, this activity also suites a child’s birthday party, Girl Scout troop, bridal shower and more. If additional copies are needed, take completed pages to Archiver’s where you can easily make archival-safe copies on demand using the color copier.
What a cheerful creation?!
