A girl's 16th birthday is special. Celebrate a Sweet 16 birthday by preparing a scrapbook for the birthday girl that will not only make her 16th birthday special, it will also bring back memories of her childhood that she will want to carry with her in the future. A scrapbook can last a lifetime and can be something the birthday girl will one day share with her own children. - Try to find yearly pictures of the birthday girl from the time she was born until the current year. This will be 16 pictures you can arrange in a timeline. Write a caption under each picture with the date and a brief description of where the picture was taken and under what circumstances. This is a great way to show the difference 16 years can make.
- Devote a page to each of the birthday girl's parents and special moments shared with the birthday girl through the years. These pages might include photographs capturing the moment, special trinkets that mark the occasions, or even notes from each parent describing special moments. Each of your daughter's siblings can create a similar page.
- Devote a page to friends of your child throughout the years. Kids have friends that come and go as they grow older. Having photographs of friends, along with notes reminding the birthday girl of special events shared with her friends, is a good way to help keep those memories alive as she heads into adulthood. If possible, ask some of your daughter's friends to sign the scrapbook and include personal notes.
- Kids have likes and dislikes that often change as they grow older. Make a page of the scrapbook that reminds your child of the things she did or didn't like throughout her youth. Photographs and lists pasted in her scrapbook can serve to remind her of her favorite things and the things--food, music, clothes--she didn't like.
- Compile lists of songs, bands, TV shows and fads that were hot each of the 16 years of your child's life.
