Organize, add, modify any of the parts for what you actually need and what you have. Put a nice picture on the front of the binder with their name on it. Add special things in the photo/memory section - everybody is digital now, you probably have tons of pictures on your phone/computer/instagram BUT you never know when things might crash so preserve a few in actual print.
