Best scrapbooking books according to redditors

If you're looking for more of a guided prompt thing I recommend this! One of my bridesmaids bought it for me when I got engaged, and I've loved it so far!

Early on in the process, my older (married) sister told me to keep a journal of everything I (bride-to-be) was feeling so I could look back on it later. I found this book on Amazon, and it’s been amazing so far:

The Bride-to-Be Book: A Journal of Memories From the Proposal to "I Do" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0307887987/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_0.4UCbCW7Q4M1

There is space for photos, a few places for random thoughts, and a lot of directed prompts (things like “Details of Your First Date” that I might forget in 50 years).

On a kind of similar note, my fiancé was given this book by a married friend of his:

The Groom's Guide: For Men on the Verge of Marriage https://www.amazon.com/dp/0998739995/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_Fe5UCbN20XSS8

We’ve chosen to spend a couple of evenings with him reading the book out loud and sharing the tips, ideas, and things to ponder, and it’s been great bonding time!

This is over $10 but would this be something you're looking for?

I'm partway through Journalution. So far it's not bad. Some of the exercises are a bit dull and cliche, but worth reading nonetheless, I think.

I really like Making Memory Books and Journals By Hand. The illustrations and instructions are great for beginners.

My sister got me this really cute journal for brides to be - it’s a sort of scrapbook of the whole engagement / wedding planning process.

A friend also did a basket for us with mini bottles of alcohol tagged for milestones in planning: little wine bottles for getting engaged, booking a venue, and booking our honeymoon, mini Prosecco for saying yes to the dress, and nips of gin for a “rough day”

Spend as much time as you can while he is able to move about on his own. My dad died just this last year around thanksgiving of a very aggressive cancer so I feel for you. Prepare yourself. It is going to be a very stressful time full of fond memories and great sorrow. I was less fortunate than you. We assumed it would be at least 4 months but I only got to spend a little over a week. One thing that that was very beneficial was getting a book similar to Memories for my grandchild.

He didn't do much with it and I don't fault him for it. For a few nights near the end we reminisced and talked about his life and he told us his stories. We wrote in the book for him. Now we have a quite a a special volume of stories written down to share with his grandchildren and beyond.

I highly recommend the National Geographic "Welcome to the World" baby book. It's beautiful <3

We got this one as a gift and really liked it. It's got lots of places to fill things in, but isn't too frilly.

This is on my Under $20 list.

Thanks for the contest - have a wonderful Friday!
