Planning a creative and thoughtful baby shower is a lot of pressure, but can also be fun and rewarding to host such a special event. Go beyond the usual pink and blue themes with these out-of-the-box ideas for a book-themed baby shower.<\/p>\n

\n

    \n
  1. Pick a few popular children\u2019s books and decorate the different tables with each theme. Pooh Bear, Very Hungry Caterpillar, Curious George<\/em> and Dr. Seuss stories are just a few ideas. For some gorgeous inspiration, check out photos from a shower that blogger Hostess With The Mostess<\/a> did.<\/li>\n
  2. Include fun games like\u00a0Name That Book<\/a> where you have to figure out the real children\u2019s book title. You can create your own \u201cName That Story\u201d game, do a Seuss Word Scramble<\/a> or a Children\u2019s Classics Quiz<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. On the invitation, include the following message: \u201cIn lieu of a card, please bring your favorite children\u2019s book to add to baby\u2019s library!\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Design invitations with a vintage library card feel. Blogger SimpleLovelyBlog.com has a cute example<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. For party favors, hand out cute cookies shaped\/designed as books or custom bookmarks like this example<\/a> from LoveTaza.com, which includes the quote \u201cChildren are made readers on the laps of their parents.\u201d<\/li>\n
  6. Get creative with your food and menu planning! Meatballs from Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs<\/em>, fruit salad from The Very Hungry Caterpillar<\/em>, cookies from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie<\/em>, veggies and dip from Peter Rabbit<\/em>, blueberry muffins from Blueberries For Sal<\/em>, madeleine cookies from Madeline<\/em>\u2026 Have fun with it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Whether you decide to go fancy or keep it simple, books are both a wonderful theme and amazing gift to give your loved ones. Check out our Baby Shower Book Ideas<\/a> blog post for some great baby shower gift ideas!<\/p>\n
