From Baby to the Bahamas: Suggestions for Photo Album Themes

Themed photo albums are a priceless way to store and share your favorite snapshots from weddings, vacations, and more. Learn all about creating your own themed albums and making them uniquely yours with these simple ideas.

Themed photo albums are a wonderful way to store your precious memories and make them enjoyable for generations to come. Keeping photos from certain special events in specific photo albums helps you recreate the experience of those times, and makes it even more fun to share your photos with friends and family. It's not difficult to create a themed photo album - all it takes is a little imagination and creativity.

Wedding Themed Photo Albums

Wedding themed photo albums are probably the most popular type of themed albums. They make wonderful gifts for the bride and groom, either directly after the wedding as a honeymoon gift, or as a first-year anniversary reminder of their big day.

To create a wedding themed photo album, you'll need to decorate the pages and cover of the album appropriately. You can use lace and doilies... or leopard print and paisley, if you want! Choose decorations that suit the couple's style and that reflect their wedding and their marriage. A photo album that is decorated with the same colors and flowers as the wedding itself can be a wonderful addition to the couple's wedding collection. For an extra touch of sentimental value, bring the blank photo album to the wedding reception, and have guests write well wishes and congratulations on some of the pages or inside the front cover. Once the photos are added, the photo album will become a treasured heirloom.

Baby Themed Photo Albums

Whether it's the first baby or the seventh one, parents always appreciate having a baby themed photo album for each child. Many scrapbooking stores offer wonderful stickers and decorations that can be added to the cover and pages of a basic photo album to make it baby-themed. Personalize the album with the child's handprint or footprint on the cover, and consider adding things such as a birth certificate or hospital bracelet to the pages to make it even more personal. A baby-themed photo album is something that parents, grandparents, and even the child himself will treasure for a long time down the road.

Travel Themed Photo Albums
Once the vacation is over, the memories don't have to end. Create a travel themed photo album by collecting your vacation photos and putting them in chronological order. Keep track of where each photo was taken, and if possible try to note the location on the page of the album itself, so the person reading the album can share the journey. Decorate the cover and the pages of the album with train tickets, postcards, and even menus and napkins from special restaurants on the trip.

Almost everyone has stacks of family photo albums at home, but you may have never considered the possibility of creating themed albums. If you like the idea, consider going through your family photos and organizing them by theme, and then creating new albums in which to store them. You might find a whole new creative outlet- as well as a whole new appreciation for your family photos.
