Are you looking for a unique & meaningful shower gift for someone you love? My favorite gift to give a bride-to-be is a collection of family recipe cards. In the past I have found adorable printable recipe cards on Etsy and I have also designed my own from time to time. I love that you can use printable recipe cards over and over again! You can either print the recipe cards out blank and then hand-write the recipes, or you can copy and paste your recipe right onto the card and then print it out with the help of paper creasing machines. (see below).

Family Recipe Cards

Before the shower I usually ask any friends & family who are attending to email me a recipe, and then I print them all out on these super cute cards and then put them in a pretty recipe box (there’s a huge selection of recipe boxes on etsy.com). These recipe boxes are always met with appreciation and happiness. I also make sure to include recipes from special relatives who aren’t with us anymore, like Nana…I always add in a few of her favorite recipes just to keep her memory alive & pass along her traditions.
If you are interested in printable recipe cards or recipe boxes be sure to visit Etsy! I bought this featured box from Country Barn Babe on Etsy. It was met with rave reviews. This does not have to be a wedding shower gift, I feel like family recipe cards are a perfect gift for any occasion.
