 Bring a Book Instead of a Card is becoming very popular at baby showers everywhere. It serves as a great way to help the expectant parents build a library of fun and educational books that baby will enjoy in the years to come. But why not take this a step further and make those wonderful stories the theme for the party? With so many cute tales to choose from, the possibilities are endless. So endless that there's no way for me to include them all so I'll just give you some basic inspiration. Think Dr. Seuss, the Velveteen Rabbit, Goodnight Moon, Alice in Wonderland or Chica Chica Boom Boom for starters. Any of these stories should give you a blast of creative inspiration. In fact you can use any favorite childrens book for your baby shower inspiration. It would be nice if you could find out the parent's childhood favorites and go from there. Don't Forget The Book Plates One of the nicest gestures at a Book Baby Shower is providing book plates that everyone can sign so that the parents will always remember who gave each book. You can purchase matching invites and book plates and send them out to each intended guest or have the book plates ready to be filled out at the shower. You'll find tons of different designs to choose from by visiting:
Easy Homemade Garland I found some amazing ideas at MarthaStewart.com including an adorable and easy to create garland that you can hang as a decoration over the buffet table or virtually anywhere you want. I fell in love with this because it's not only super cute and you can make it any colors you choose but it's also totally affordable too. Depending on how fancy you want to make it, all you really need is some string, construction paper and some printed words on paper. Well... you'll need some double sided tape and glue too. Simple instructions would be to cut the construction paper, and printed word paper into rectangles, any size you'd like and then to put one piece of printed word paper on top of a piece of construction paper and fold it to look like a book. Repeat as many times as you'd like and then attach these mini-books to the string and hang. You'll find the complete step-by-step instructions HERE Of course, she's got other great ideas for this theme too. Visit the following link to see them all. Wow Them With A Great Cake Invest in a great storybook inspired cake. Then, let it do double duty as your buffet centerpiece. If you're experienced in cake decorating, you won't need to spend as much but if you're not, there's lots of great places to find pre-printed fondant that can be used as a beautiful cake topper for your home baked creation. Try Etsy.com. I've found some really great stuff there. Or look into bakeries in your area that specialize in creative cakes.  Get Crafty Of course to get the look just right, you'll need to make much of the decor yourself. But just think of the look on everyone's face when they walk in. If you're creative, you can affordably make many of the decorations your self. The best place I've found for ideas is Pinterest. A search for Book Baby Shower Ideas will provide hundreds of amazing things for you to make or buy.  Page From A Homemade Baby Book Share your best book baby shower theme ideas here in the comments.

Personalize It With The Baby's Due Date This has to be one of the cutest ideas I've come across in a while; Cookie in the Oven Christmas ornaments are the perfect gift for the couple who's expecting over the holidays. The sweet design features an adorable gingerbread man cookie, the words 'Cookie in the Oven' and you can personalize it with the baby's due date. Choose your style based on the baby's gender. The girl one has a fun holly berries bow on her head. These ornaments would make great stocking stuffers and would be a totally unique baby shower gift for the happy couple having a winter baby shower. And don't forget the grandmas. They're certainly going to want one for their tree too. This is the kind of gift that keeps on giving wonderful memories for a lifetime as it gets placed on the tree each year.
