What events besides weddings is the Adesso Album used for?

WEDDING

Bridal Showers—Queen for the Day. That’s what the bride-to-be feels like at her first bridal shower. And what a “crowning” touch it would be to present her with an Adesso Album filled with instant photos and notes from her friends and family from the shower. Not only does it become a wonderful part of the treasure trove of keepsakes from this time in her life, but it can double as a place to permanently record the gifts she receives!

Bachelorette Party—It’s her final night to go out with the girls and kick up her heels! In addition to the champagne, make sure the limo is stocked with an Adesso Album, a Polaroid camera, and plenty of film. Start with photos and good wishes from party members (including the driver – he’ll have a great perspective to share!) and expand the memory to everyone that joins the party along the way!

Rehearsal Dinner—Sure, everyone’s been together for some occasion up to this point – the engagement party, one or all of the bridal showers, the bachelor or bachelorette party. But tonight is different. It’s more intimate, with the closest of friends and family in attendance. An Adesso Album from the rehearsal dinner will send you down the aisle with heartfelt wishes from these very special people.

Wedding and Reception—Everyone and his brother has made it to one of the happiest days of your life! And the reception is typically a lot of fun for everyone! But for the bride and groom, the entire day can be one big blur. An Adesso Album is the perfect gift for a friend or relative to give to the newlyweds as they leave on their honeymoon. They can relive the day in pictures and words as they board the plane, and “remember” the biggest party of their lives!

Honeymoon—It’s a time for relaxing as you spend your first days together as husband and wife intimate, once-in-a-lifetime vacation. So why not create a memory of those days that you can look back on in the years to come, with pictures and love poems or funny notes to each other and about your very special honeymoon.

BABY

The Pregnancy—The minute you find out you’re having a baby, you begin to realize the importance of being in the “now”, and what better way to capture the now of your pregnancy than an Adesso Album. Put the first sonogram of the baby on the cover and fill the rest of the album with Polaroid pictures of your monthly progress – what’s happening with your body, your feelings about becoming a mother, Dad painting the nursery. Something you can do spontaneously throughout the nine months and have a wonderful record of the process for you and baby!

Showers—Friends and family will all gather to welcome your baby into the world with gifts and heartfelt wishes. What a perfect place to record all those thoughts with instant Polaroid photos of all the adorable baby stuff and everyone in attendance. Guests can make predictions about the sex of the baby, weight, height, birth date and length of the labor on their special page in addition to their warm wishes!

Guestbook—The day has finally arrived! The baby is coming! As you rush off to the hospital, don’t forget the Adesso Album, the Polaroid camera and plenty of film. In the delivery room, the nurse can snap the baby’s first picture with Mom and Dad and the proud parents can record those very special first thoughts as they hold him for the first time. After that, use the album as a photo guestbook for all the friends and relatives that visit in the hospital and at home in the weeks to follow.

BIRTHDAY

Child’s—Johnny’s turning five and he’s invited the whole class to his birthday party. You’ve got lunch, balloons, some games, but what else can you do to keep 20 five year olds busy for a couple of hours? How about an Adesso Album? Let the kids take each other’s pictures and decorate their page with a happy birthday wish for Johnny. Oughta be good for five minutes for each child!

Milestone—Milestone birthdays can be traumatic, OR they can be fun! Opt for the latter and give a friend or relative the gift of an Adesso Album for their 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th or 100th! The people that gather for the celebration will have wonderful and inspirational thoughts to share with the birthday girl and their pictures from the event will etch the celebration in her memory forever!

ANNIVERSARY

Wedding—Your Mother and Father have been together for as long as anyone you know. They’ve survived all the joys and challenges that raising four kids brings. And this year they are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. What better way to honor all those years than with a party with all their friends and family and an Adesso Album? Memories of those 50 years as seen through the eyes of friends and family can be captured in pictures and words and presented to Mom and Dad as they leave the party!

OFFICE EVENTS

Promotion or New Employment—Congratulate someone on their promotion or welcome them to the company by having all their colleagues pose for a Polaroid and then write a welcome or congratulatory message in the space provided in the Adesso Good Move” album.

Retirement—When a colleague or employee has served a company well and faithfully and his goodbye party is at hand, what better tribute than an Adesso “Lucky Dog” album filled with Polaroid photos of co-workers each writing a happy trails wish?

VACATION

Snow Birds—All across America millions of retired and semi retired folks pull up stakes in the North every winter and fly to the warmer climates of Texas, Arizona and Florida, leaving their less fortunate friends and families behind. Each spring they return North leaving their winter faux families. What better way to unite the two worlds than an Adesso “Home x 2” album filled with Polaroid portraits and “I’ll miss you” notes?

Cruise Vacations—Whether it’s a weekend cruise to nowhere or a six week float around the globe, people meet and bond and sometimes forge friendships that last a lifetime. Now they can commemorate the cruise and the friendships with the Adesso “Full Steam Ahead” album. Take a Polaroid instant photo of a new friend or one of the cruise staff and while the photo is developing have them write a little note to remember them by.

RV-ers – A house on wheels. The only problem is that the people you meet and the “neighborhoods” you stay in change before you know it. The Adesso “Home Away from Home” album allows you to take a photo of the people you meet along the way, ask them to write a little bit about themselves and the experiences you shared.

Weekend/Vacation Home—The purchase of a second or vacation home is one of the most rapidly growing trends among working class Americans. The front hall of every vacation home is a perfect spot for an Adesso “Welcome to our Home” album. Start with a Polaroid portrait of the weekend revelers and ask them to write a note about what they enjoyed most about their stay. Each page will tell a story of a weekend filled with fun and the love of friends.

LEISURE

New Year’s Resolutions—At the New Years Eve celebration take a Polaroid of each guest and ask them to jot down a few resolutions for the new year in the Adesso “Fresh Start” album. Slide their photo in the same page as their good intentions Duplicate the guest list next year and watch the fun as folks compare their resolutions with their accomplishments!

Tailgaters—Whether it’s a NASCAR event or the parking lot of a college or pro football game, a great way to capture the food, fun and folks who shared it with you, is with an Adesso “Winners” album. Take Polaroid portraits of all the people who are part of your party and all those around you who make themselves part of the fun. Then ask everyone to make predictions about who will win, what the season will bring and comment on the quality of the food and drink. This is an album that wins no matter what the score or who is in the winners circle.

Leaders Tribute – Was the scout leader particularly wonderful this year? Did your soccer coach help beyond the call? Make them an Adesso “Thank You” album. Take pictures of all the kids on the team or in the troop, slide them in the special Adesso die cut and ask the kids to write something the coach or leader can remember them by – good or bad! A truly unique gift!

Second Honeymoon—More and more people are taking them and everyone wants a way to remember every little thing they did while they were on them. How about taking Polaroid photos of each other at different venues, doing different things and slipping them in the Adesso “Now and Forever” album die cut frame and writing love notes under the photo.

SCHOOL

Teacher Appreciation – It’s the end of the school year and the room mother’s final responsibility is to come up with the year end gift for the teacher. She’s received everything under the sun from her classes over the years. What if this year, the room mother took Polaroid pictures of each of the students in the class, put them in an Adesso “A+” album and had each of the students write a note telling the teacher what a great year it’s been? Now THAT is a unique gift, and one any teacher would treasure, no matter how long the year seemed!

Reunions – You did it at the end of every school year from junior high through high school, maybe college – wrote a note to your friends in their year book next to your picture, reminiscing about the year that passed. How about recreating that fun at the 20th reunion by taking Polaroid pictures of your classmates, slipping them into an Adesso “As if it were Yesterday” album and getting them to comment on the time that’s passed. A wonderful memory of then and now to take home with you.

Graduation –It’s a proud day for everyone whether it’s nursery school, kindergarten, junior high, high school, college, law or medical school. Polaroid photos and sentiments from the friends and family who attend your graduation celebration all in an Adesso “Good Job” album.

PETS

Parties—There are day care centers for dogs and party planners for cats and special card lines devoted to helping pets express their emotions. Why not an Adesso “Best Friend” album to commemorate your pet’s special party? Take a Polaroid of the pet owner and the pet, and then slip it into the album. Ask the owner to write a special message in his voice or the voice of the pet and sign it. Even have the pet put his paw on a stamp pad and put his “signature” on it!

Agility Events—Pet owners come from all over the country to participate with their dogs in agility competitions. A Polaroid portrait of a dog owner and his dog placed in an Adesso “Way to Go” album with a comment about the event or what it meant to the people involved combined make this a perfect way to document and save the event.

RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE

Baptism or Christening—The grandparents, the in-laws, the God parents, the siblings, the friends ,the priest or minister - all gathered to honor this special day. After the service, take a Polaroid picture of all the people involved, ask them each to write their wishes for the future of the child and slip their portrait into the Adesso “Bless You” album. The child will have a book he can cherish forever.

Bar/Bat Mitzvah –The reception which follows this very important religious service is often as elaborate as a wedding reception. Friends and family gather to celebrate the time in life where the boy or girl becomes an adult in the Jewish tradition after years of preparation. What better way to celebrate and commemorate this proud day than with an Adesso Album filled with Polaroid photos and sentiments from all the friends and family attending the party?
