The Perfect Ideas For Your Children’s Book-Themed Baby Shower

Baby showers are getting more elaborate and unique, going beyond the generic pink or blue decor. And if you’re a bookish kinda mom-to-be, then having a children’s book-themed baby shower to celebrate your new addition will feel like walking into a wonderland. Bonus: the book choices are endless.

Having a baby shower, and all that comes with it, gives your friends and family a chance to come together and show you support by giving you some much-needed gifts like clothes and baby care packages, typically before your little one is born. This is a tradition that imprints a heartwarming memory of your journey to parenthood — being surrounded by your village. Another part of the fun is choosing a baby shower theme that not only celebrates the joy of a new life but reflects an enchanting experience.

With a children’s book baby shower, you can deck out your party space with the literary styles of your favorite kid authors. Your look could include famous nursery rhymes, adventurous tales, princesses and dragons, poems, and even the citizens of Whoville. (It’s also a great way to encourage guests to bring their favorite children’s book as a gift for your little one.)

But if you’re going to do it, make it authentic and unforgettable. By focusing on the details from the food to the decor, to the sweets table and games, you can fill this children’s book-themed day with the wonder of a good story.

And while we all strive to be some level of Pinterest-perfect, just go with the flow and have a blast with these children’s book baby shower ideas.
