Looking for one year anniversary scrapbook ideas that feel personal? Tiny envelopes, photos from your first dates and handwritten notes give you plenty to work with.
These ideas include pages and covers, plus a couple of floral keepsakes you can borrow details from.
You can keep it simple or go all out. Pick your favorite pictures first, then leave a little room for the songs, places and everyday moments you want to remember.
Scrapbook ideas for your first year together
a big number one
We’re starting off strong with this black page and oversized outlined number one. I love the pink and white hearts beside the handwritten time breakdown.
Try this as the opening page of your one year anniversary scrapbook. Add your own anniversary date at the bottom and a little dashed border around the edges.
black-and-white photo collage
How cute is this collage? The black-and-white pictures leave room for those little red hearts to stand out.
A February calendar sits right in the middle with a date marked.
For your own version, use the month of your anniversary and circle your special day. Keep a few pictures silly rather than choosing only posed ones.
movies along a filmstrip
The movie fans are going to love this! A winding filmstrip holds handwritten movie and show titles, with a red-and-white popcorn drawing in the corner.
Draw your own strip and fill each little frame with something you’ve watched together. Those ordinary nights deserve a page too.
flowers over a torn book page
I am obsessed with this flower arrangement. The cream, purple and orange blooms look so pretty over the torn printed page, especially with that tiny bow around the stems.
This example is a greeting card rather than an anniversary scrapbook page. Borrow the floral layout for your book, but switch the greeting to your own anniversary message.
tiny red love notes
OMG, how adorable are these little envelopes? They form a red heart beneath the white handwritten heading. A few notes peek out from the tops.
Write a different reason you love your partner on each slip. I’d keep the envelopes red against a black page just like this.
your first date on a map
This first-date page may just be one of my favorites here. I love the big circular map with its pink outline and the small message screenshot beside it.
Use a map of your own date location, then add a short note about what you remember. Choose little drawings that fit your date rather than copying the drink decorations if they don’t.
two photos and your song
Want to include your song without filling a page with lyrics? This layout pairs two white-bordered photos with a Spotify code underneath.
The hanging LOVE letters are such a cute extra detail.
If you add a code for your own song, test the printed version before attaching it.
little ticket envelopes
These tiny white envelopes are just too cute. Each one has a red heart on the flap, with a pink cinema ticket peeking out of the open envelope.
Make your own tickets for dates you’d like to plan together. A movie night or a picnic would fit nicely on those little slips.
mini you plus mini me
How sweet is this? Two heart-shaped childhood photos sit beside a larger couple photo, with plus and equals signs connecting them.
The red backgrounds tie all three pictures together. Add your own date below the couple photo to finish the page.
pink hearts and mixed letters
I am obsessed with this pink cover. The mismatched letters spelling out “OUR ONE YEAR” look so cute between the patterned hearts and colorful gems.
Try mixing checked, dotted and plain hearts instead of making them all match. There’s plenty of room here to have fun with the colors.
flowers and music around a photo
If you love a layered photo page, this one is for you. Printed music, newspaper-style scraps and flower cutouts surround one large picture.
I especially love the dark red pieces at the top and bottom. Keep your own photo large enough that it doesn’t disappear among all those little details.
hearts and a year in numbers
There’s so much to love in this collage, from the red heart marks to the repeated “love” lettering down the side. The white center leaves a clear spot for the anniversary countdown.
If you borrow the time breakdown, check it before writing it out. The pictured “8,760 weeks” should say hours for a 365-day year.
a photo-filled number one
Don’t want to add lots of little decorations? No problem!
Try this large number one filled with photos beside torn white strips with bold black lettering.
Choose pictures from different parts of your first year. I love how the biggest photo fills the base of the number.

heart maps with little red pins
These heart-shaped maps are such a pretty way to remember your firsts. Each map has a red location pin, with a black heart underneath naming the moment.
Pick three places that mean something to you. They don’t have to be a first kiss, first date and first “I love you” if other memories feel more personal.
our firsts on a black page
This is another heart-map idea, but it’s a little different from the one above. I love the alternating pink and red borders against the black background.
The big white “OUR FIRSTS” heading runs through the middle. Leave that central space open if you’re arranging four maps like these.
a bucket list for year two
Who says every page has to look backward? This bucket list has handwritten plans, little checkboxes and a plane drawn beside an outline map.
Mix bigger dreams with dates you’d actually like to plan next. A picnic can sit right beside a trip on your list.
fold-out photos and a letter
I love this fold-out keepsake with its white-bordered photos and handwritten messages. The pictures continue along the brown panels, with a longer note opening out to the side.
For an anniversary version, choose photos of the two of you and give each one a short caption. Save the longer letter for that separate flap.
you are my world
How cute is this little comparison? A blue-and-green globe sits beside a circle filled with the word “you” beneath a “MY WORLD” label.
The bright yellow headings and torn red corners make the page extra playful. This is a sweet option when you want a page without photos.
in case you forgot
This is actually one of my favorite simple pages here. A small couple photo sits on a background covered with handwritten “I love you” messages, using red hearts in place of the word love.
Keep the white heading at the top if you like the “IN CASE YOU FORGOT” idea. The repeated message does the rest.
a little flower keepsake
Last but definitely not least, we have this framed floral keepsake. I love the purple and blue flowers mixed with the pale blooms, plus that little bow beneath the bouquet.
This is a framed display rather than a scrapbook page. For your book, borrow the bouquet arrangement with flower cutouts and add your anniversary date underneath.
