Finding ideas for family scrapbooks may not be difficult for many people. It seems almost everywhere you look in your home there are pictures that would look great in a scrapbook.

But maybe you’re looking for a very specific theme, not just a general theme that can include just any old family photo. There are a number of specific occasions that just might inspire you.

For a look at layouts with family themes you might want to take some time to browse:

The “firsts” in life always make for very specific, very special scrapbooks. The first day of your child’s life, you first family photo, your first day as a married couple or your child’s first day at school are just a few.

You can include hospital bracelets, marriage certificates, your child’s school name tag and any other items that came from those occasions.

Graduations, promotions and retirement celebrations are also great themes for scrapbooks.

It could be your child graduating from high school, you or your spouse getting a promotion at work or a family member retiring after years of dedicated service.

The theme for your scrapbook could even include a child being “promoted” from kindergarten or “graduating” from elementary school.

Family reunions and holiday gatherings supply great photos for scrapbooks.

Sometimes the carefree nature of the people around you at these types of get-togethers really allows everyone’s personalities to shine through in the photographs.

Not to mention, with the hectic schedules we all keep these days, family gatherings like these can sometimes be few and far between, making them even more special.

Weddings, anniversaries and religious events are always favorites for a scrapbook. Not only because of their special place in the lives of those involved but because they tend to result in very beautiful, very personal photographs.

Don’t forget the little treasures you get at events like these. You may even want to coordinate the color scheme from the wedding into your scrapbook or include a copy of the vows or a special poem that was recited.

Let’s not forget the everyday occurrences that are photo-worthy. Your kids just being kids, playing ball with their friends, your daughter playing dress up or everyone gathered in the kitchen baking cookies.

These are the everyday, precious moments that make parenting so wonderful, not to mention one’s your children will look back on fondly years down the road. Often times scrapbooking these photos can be the most fun.
