7 Father’s Day photo book ideas for every dad
Dad deserves better than *another* pair of socks, so surprise him with a creative, personal, and totally unique Father’s Day photo book instead.
Photo books showcase all of Dad’s very best stories, so this is your chance to create a special Father’s Day photo gift that he’ll hang on to for years to come.
The possibilities are endless here, so we’ve made a list of our favourite Father’s Day photo book ideas to help get you started!
1. Tell the story of Dad’s year
You’ve made all kinds of amazing family memories this year, so tell the story of Dad’s year in pictures. Your camera roll is likely packed with snaps from sunny holidays, kids' birthday parties, funny days out, cuddles on the sofa and other happy family moments that could make the *perfect* Father’s Day photo book.
Start your book from a year ago (so from last Father’s Day) and create a page that shows off the best moments from each month. It’s a Father’s Day tradition you could repeat every year!
2. Showcase a “Day in the Life of Dad”
Make a photo book that recreates a typical day in the life of Dad, including everything from his usual morning routine to evening playtime with the kids. You’ll just need to grab your camera, take photos throughout his day, and then arrange them in a photo book that’s filled with funny captions and special messages!
3. Share your children’s amazing artwork
The kids are constantly painting, drawing and scribbling down cute little illustrations. Instead of simply sticking them on the fridge (and inevitably running out of space), fill a Father’s Day photo book with all of the kids’ very best drawings. Dad will totally love it, and this is a book the kids can look back on when they’ve grown up!
4. Make the “A to Z of Dad”
There’s nobody else quite like Dad, so make a full A to Z photo book that celebrates all the things that make him so special. Your book could have one page per letter and showcase photos that fit each theme - such as “A is for Amazing”, “B is for Brave”, “C is for Caring” and so on.
This is a Father’s Day photo book that younger kids will love flicking through, you’ll just need to get creative when it comes to tricky letters like “X” and “Z”!
5. Fill a book with his favourite recipes
Dad might fancy himself as something of a master chef, so surprise him with a unique photo book filled with all his very best recipes. Whether he specialises in pasta dishes or cooks a signature Sunday roast, your photo book can include photos of him cooking, show each completed dish and even include a few funny cooking fails!
6. Celebrate the life of Dad
Dad was a super-cute kid once, too, so make a Father’s Day photo book that shows a chronological timeline of him growing up. You can start the book with Dad’s adorable baby pics, show him as a teenager, and then focus a load of pages around him becoming an amazing dad and raising the kids!
7. List all the things you love about Dad
The kids love Dad for zillions of reasons, so create a photo book that lists one reason per page and include photos that show him doing the things you love. For example, you could have a page that says “We love your silly faces” and create a little collage of all the silly expressions you’ve caught on camera.
