Book Themed Baby Shower

I had the most wonderful opportunity to host a baby shower for my brother in law and his wife. I LOVE planning!!! (Check out my post on Baby Shower Planning Pages). And I just couldn't resist hosting an educational based party. After looking around the internet (and my new favorite site Pinterest) I found adorable book- themed baby showers. What an inspiration! Two sites that I gleaned the most creative juices from is Aesthetic Nest and Bowtied's Etsy shop. Guests were encouraged to bring their favorite book as a gift. (I made a cute Dr Seuss-ish invitation but I don't have a pic to show. Included in the invitation were bookplates so baby would always remember who gave her each book)

The setup with my cute mother in law in the background. She was kind enough to host the big party at her lovely home.

Banner made out of an old book- I am thinking this would be cute to hang in my daughter's playroom. Yay for multi-purpose crafts!

Each guest picked a letter and designed their own alphabet page for baby's first ABC book. It was SO fun!

Side table decorations- I couldn't resist putting the "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" sign next to a jar of swedish fish. There are also extra bookplates for guests in case they lost the one included in their invitation 

The "Snack Snack Eat a Snack" sign didn't motivate enough people to eat the treats- but it was still cute!

Cupcakes made by my cute sister in law with the book toppers from Aesthetic Nest.

I love sneaking in learning and literature in any activity! :) For more inspiration, check out my Party Board on Pinterest.

Enjoy!
