Adoption Storybook

Make a Memory Display or Book
Creating a memory display is a touching way to honor your new child’s adoption story. Hang a large piece of butcher paper or poster board on the wall and encourage guests to write messages of love and support for your child. Consider including photos, quotes, or other meaningful items to make the memory wall extra special.
Set a Festive Table
A colorful table can include a centerpiece, flowers, crayons, party hats and more to create a fun atmosphere for guests. Consider using a colorful tablecloth or runner, and decorate the table with themed plates, cups, and napkins. Add colorful confetti to complete the look.
Add Bright Colors!
Colorful Balloons and streamers are inexpensive and an easy ways to add pops of color and festivity to your adoption party. You can get bright colored balloon bouquets or arches to add extra impact. (Don’t forget the time saving balloon pump if you’re having lots of balloons.)
Adoption Adventure!
This theme uses travel or adventure elements to celebrate the child’s journey to their new family. Decorations can include maps, globes, and suitcase centerpieces.
Adoption Garden
A fun theme – perfect for outdoor parties – that incorporates floral and garden elements into the party decorations. To bring in the garden feeling, you can include lovely flower arrangements at the table with seed packet favors for the guests to take home.
Family Tree
This theme focuses on the new child becoming a part of the family and can include a family tree display, personalized family ornaments, and other family-related decorations.
Adoption Party Animals
Adoption Party Animals: This theme incorporates animal-related decor, such as stuffed animals or animal prints, into the party. It can also tie into the child’s favorite animals or interests.
A super cute stuffed animal elephant will make a welcome addition to the party!
Or a slow moving sloth to celebrate the sometimes painstainkingly slow adoption process.
Make a Photo Display
Displaying photos of your child can be a heartwarming way to honor their journey to becoming a part of your family. Use a string or ribbon to hang photos of your child, from babyhood to the present, in a prominent area of the party space. Or you can get a diy photo display for a nice centerpiece. Consider including photos of the family members who played a role in the adoption process, as well.
