Re: scrap book for bride
Ohhh!!! I love that idea! You should go over to Michael's or A>C. Moore to look at some of the scrapbook 'theme sets' that come with little sayings and pictures of weddingy things, or pick a theme that means something to you and the bride as friends. I would put a pic of you and her, and make a frame space for her to put a pic of you and her from her wedding!! Have fun!!!

Yes, definetely check out the scrap book area at Michael's...there are so many cute little things you can buy..stickers, frames, letters to spell things out. I like the idea of you writing something personal on it also.

Re: scrap book for bride
I am a scrapbook fanatic!!
My only advice is to make the page something unique to the two of you and the friendship you share. That is what's so great about scrapbooking - there are no rules.
When I made a scrapbook for my friend that got married last year, I had each BM make a page. They all wrote a little something to her and then decorated the page how they saw fit. Some used pictures, others used little sayings that only they and the bride would understand. In the end, each page looked 100% different ... and the final book was absulutely priceless.
And I second the Michaels suggestion. That store has the BEST selection of scrapbooking ideas. Also, I looked online for layout ideas and there were many sites with lots of good ideas.
Have fun scrapbooking

Re: scrap book for bride
I did that for my best friend, and she loved it so much! I took pictures from the bachlorette party, and the bridal shower, and I cut them out and put about 2-3 per page in a scrap book. I got scrap booking things from JoAnn's crafts and put together to book. At the shower, I had each guest fill out a card with a memory of my friend, and a wish for the future and I tied them all together. The night before the wedding, with the rest of the BP, I gave her the book, and we a looked through the pages and read everyone's wishes. She cried alot- but she was really happy!
