Ideas for your book
More personal than a card, easier to keep than scattered messages
A birthday memory book gives friends and family more room to share the stories behind their wishes. Contributors can write about favourite moments, funny memories, qualities they value or hopes for the years ahead.
For milestone birthdays, you can organise contributions around different stages of life, friendship groups, family memories or photographs from across the years.
