Wendzine makes all sorts of resizing actions for different printing companies. I know she has one for scrapping simply so if that is the same format she would probably know. If you reach out to her she will give you suggestions and tell you what options you have.
I know that you can do it different ways. I have an action that adds a coordinating color border around the layout and I have a resizing action for one of the companies. I know some printers trim on specific sides of a layout and the actions add excess to compensate for the way they do the trimming. All of which she taught me.
She also said that as an alternative, for layouts you still have the layers... before you flatten you make the bottom background layer invisible then select everything else and reduce it, but I don't recall what that size is. I know it was not even 95%.
The other thing to do is contact the printers and ask them how much they enlarge to compensate for the bleed.
