To create a wedding scrapbook for a client you will need to attend the wedding or reception in order to gather photographs and quotes from family and friends of the happy couple. For this you will need a digital camera and a small tape recorder or notepad.
Try to get photos from all phases of the person’s life.
Use the wedding’s theme for the wedding scrapbook. Use items from the wedding in the scrapbook, pressed flowers, ribbons, and lace from the veil, the couple’s vows, and even the groom’s tie. This scrapbook will become a family treasure. You want the scrapbook to bring the wedding to life each time someone opens it.
For the memorial scrapbook try to based the theme on the person being honored. What is the one personality trait or hobby or quirk of his or hers that the person’s relatives remember best? Was the person a comedian, an avid fisher, or the scholarly type? Try to use small objects from the person’s life in the scrapbook to personalize it, a bit of cloth from a favorite dress, favorite flowers, awards, the ugly tie a child bought for a dad’s birthday or for Father’s Day, school drawings made by the person’s children.
While performing either scrapbook service you must remember that discretion is of utmost importance. Don’t include an ugly quote or memory in the memorial scrapbook. Your clients won’t appreciate it.
To advertise your wedding scrapbook service create eye-catching business cards and brochures on your computer and leave them at bridal shops, at stores with wedding registries, and place ads in your local newspaper. You might try church bulletins boards as well, as long as the powers that be don’t mind.
For your memorial scrapbook service leave brochures at funeral homes, place newspaper ads, and leave your card with the ministers and priests in your town. When a client asks about your service it would be wise to have a scrapbook you’ve already made on hand that you can show the client to demonstrate your skill.
People are willing to pay well for a truly beautiful scrapbook of their memories. You could charge more for a really detailed wedding scrapbook.
Charging more for a detailed memorial album would be up to you. But it might be wise to set a fixed price for memorial albums, for example $50 for a small album and $75 for a large album.
Put your love for creating scrapbooks to work, and one day you can create a scrapbook about your successful business that you created one memory at a time.
You don’t want to seem as if you’re trying to gouge the mourning family as doing so could harm your business reputation. Treat the family with respect and do the finest job possible on their scrapbook. Soon word of your skill will spread to other people interested in having a memorial album created.

Wedding Scrapbook
The following suggestions are just that, suggestions. There is no right or wrong in creating a scrapbook. It is my goal to provide some thought starters to creating a wedding scrapbook.
Add a few photos of them as teens and then some photos of the couple during the dating process.
During the planning stages, often banquet rooms are looked at, dresses and tuxedos are looked at, and invitations are looked at. Taking a few photos of the various planning days are great additions to the scrapbook. If the bridal shop will allow it, it can be fun to take photos of the bride in each dress she tries on.
When you decide on a banquet room, take a few photos of the room empty. Take a few photos of the building housing the banquet room.
Once a menu is decided on, save a copy of the menu provided by the banquet room. One event I helped with, we actually made the menu ourselves.
• An invitation
• An R.S.V.P. card
• A place card
• A thank you note
• A copy of the guest list
If you order candy bar wrappers or any other wedding favor, save one for your scrapbook. If you use a D.J. or a band, save one of their business cards, or one of their brochures, to include in your scrapbook. If you hire any other type of entertainer, again, save a business card or brochure.
As you plan your wedding, it can be fun to journal the days.
It’s time to take those photos that you’ll want for both your wedding photo album and also your wedding scrapbook.
When the R.S.V.P. cards come in, often times folks will write personal messages. Save those.
