Sometimes, we wish a day would last forever, and that we never forget those days. Some examples of treasured memories are your baby shower, bridal shower, your wedding, and many others, to be sure. That’s why my wholesale memory books are some of the most treasured items in our home. I have one wedding memory book devoted to the bridal shower my sister put on for me with some of my friends. I’ve got so many great pics of that very special night I shared with my friends. The pretty things they had arranged at the party and the exciting places we went to, that evening, were all caught on film. We really had a wild time and I’ve got super photos to prove it. Some of the exotic male dancers we saw posed for a couple of shots. They were really awesome up there on the stage. That is definitely a night I’ll never forget, that was the first and only time I’ve ever been to a place that had male dancers. They may not have been in Playgirl, but they were definitely worth seeing.
When I chose all the accessories and reception supplies for our wedding, I also made sure I had a memory book for our photos of the wedding and reception. I’m glad I got one with as many pages as I did. In fact I knew to buy a couple of them, so I’d have enough space for all the pictures. I ran out of space in the albums before the pictures were all filed. There were also pages for our guests signatures in one of the albums. We had my first initial and my husband’s first initial flanking the initial of our last name on the cover of our personalized memory books. These books have such a look of elegance with it’s satin ribbon and gorgeous fabric. There are also refill pages available if needed, and we certainly need them.
I made sure that I had books to hold all my memories of every important event in my life so far. I’m sure as the years progress I’ll have even more keepsake memory books filling up my closet shelves. Right now, I have my bachelorette book, my wedding book and my baby shower books. My daughter will be three in a few days and my son is only one. My son has a blue book and my daughter has a pink one; we got the right colors because we found out what they’d be before they were born. I keep everything from their christenings to their first steps in these books. We have fingerprints, birth certificates, and regular pictures of them in the baby memory books. I slipped an official invitation from the showers and wedding in each album as well. There are picture galleries with fewer photos than I have in my closet.
In spite of my husband’s frequent grumbling, I will keep those albums in my closet, because they are mementos of days that were special to me. Of course, now I’m going to be shooting home videos on a camcorder that I recently purchased, so I’m focusing on making space on some shelving in the living room. So now, with the albums we have and the ones we will probably have in the future and all the videos I plan to record, I’m probably going to need a lot more room than originally planned. Hey, a girls got to have her memories to look back on. These years ahead are really important to a mom and I don’t want to miss out on one minute of it.
