Create a Festive Party Remembrance

An Easy Gift for the Guest of Honor

By Donna Pilato, About.com

This tip was submitted by Debra Thomas.

When I hosted a baby/bridal/first home shower celebration recently, I got some white matting that goes in a picture frame. As the guests came in, they were directed to the picture mats and asked to sign in and give the happy couple/parents-to-be their wishes for the future. Providing a variety of colors of felt tip markers made the mats festive. Whether the couple decides to put a photo of themselves in the frame or a photo of the new baby, they will always have a reminder of their special day and a great conversation piece to display in their new home.

Thanks for the tip, Debra!
