Help! Do you have any wedding scrapbooking ideas?
I've never scrapbooked before in my life and I want to do one for my wedding. Do you have any ideas of what to put in there or have any unique ideas? Thanks!

1. Go to your library. There are tons of books on scrapbooking, and lots of them are for weddings only.A scrapbook should be creative and personal. So anything you feel like adding in will be great. Journal in any thoughts or feelings or anything funny or out of the ordinary that went on. It snowed so much at my wedding people had trouble going home. My brother got home and came back with his huge 4x4 and took us to our hotel.

3. Not married but I've scrapbooked several books. You might want to stick with the colors of the wedding. Keep that theme going.
They have special nicely front covered decorated (all fancy) scrapbook albums. You can try finding them at Michaels. Their all white & with embellishments on them. There's probably more but different. (You can check Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, even Walmart. Or any other small scrapbook stores in your location)
There's great paper for that. Make sure its acid free so that it doesnt mess up your photos. Get some double sided tape-photo safe, acid safe. Archival safe etc. Or some running adhesives-looks like those correctional white out tapes. Stick them to your photos-back & place over your paper. A nice touch would be layering 2 different colors (the ones from your wedding theme). There's also Jolee's Boutique (You might want to stick to this brand even though their a bit expensive only because they have 3D stickers for ANY occasion) For your wedding: there's the proposal, the bachelorette party, the wedding, the honeymoon etc. They have plenty wedding related. So these will be great to add an extra touch to your pages.
Also, some nice ribbon-the color of your theme or silver always works great. & add some to your pages layering them over the corner of your pages/photos.
It be great if you did have an extra invitation somewhere around & saved it. You could use that in the scrapbook. If you have a pix of your wedding of you two together....a nice 1st page will do great with that!
If you are going to write on your scrapbook make sure you get some acid free, archival free, special journaling pens. Or else if you use regular pens they will bleed & eventually fade with time-not good. You can buy some at Walmart for like $5--Ek Success. You can get some Zig Markers, Sakuras etc.-Michaels carries a great selection of markers.
Do pages of your guest. Any quotes you might have or nice notes they might have left you. Etc.
Google "wedding scrapbooks" or "wedding scrapbook layouts" images will come out. You can use those for ideas.
HTH. Congrats! Good Luck & have fun making it!! :D
