How to Make a Wedding Anniversary Scrapbook for Your Husband: Choose the scrapbook that complements your husband's personality

A pink frilly scrapbook is fine for a scrapbook you plan to make for your daughter or niece, but you will have to think a bit more carefully and search harder for the right type of scrapbook for your husband. A good place to start looking is at www.scrapbooks.com. This web site has a wide variety of scrapbooks, including wedding anniversary scrapbooks. The Pioneer brand has an ivory coloured scrapbook that is an appropriate colour for wedding anniversaries. It is 12"x12" and includes 10 top loading sheet protectors and 10 heavy duty white paper scrapbook inserts. This scrapbook costs $23.29 and is one of five results that show up if you type in "wedding anniversary" into the search option.

How to Make a Wedding Anniversary Scrapbook for Your Husband: Budget

For couples who are on a limited income, they may not have a great deal of money to spend on buying and creating an expensive scrapbook. A more affordable alternative would be to buy a traditional self adhesive photo album and use that as a wedding anniversary scrapbook. Buying a self adhesive photo album will make mounting photos, clippings and post cards much easier. If you have a Michael's craft shop in your area you can look around for scrapbook paper that you can use as a background feature. Sheets are very affordable, at about $0.29 for an A4 size, increasing in price for 12"x12" paper.
