Little Library Baby Shower
The Little Library Baby Shower theme is based on books and reading. Many people like this idea because it's a great way to help the parents-to-be gather educational items for the new baby.
Invitations
Create or buy invitations in the shape of a book. Use a cute baby
inscription such as, “They have a little bookworm on the way!”
Decorations
This is another theme where you can either have a color scheme, or use
many different colors. For these ideas, we’ll use a pink, lavender and
yellow color scheme for a baby girl.
Head Table:
- A white tablecloth with pink, yellow and lavender tableware.
-Little porcelain books in front of each plate.
-Pink, yellow and lavender baby shower confetti scatter on the table.
Guest tables:
-Use the same decorating style as the head table, or make some of the
tables all pink, others all yellow, and the rest all lavender.
-In either case, use all your colors for your centerpieces.
-Sprinkle matching confetti on the tables.
Small accents:
-Pink, yellow and lavender streamers and balloons.
-Pictures of baby book covers on the walls.
Guest of honor chair:
- Pink, yellow and lavender bows and balloons.
-Surround the chair with lots of old baby books.
Buffet table:
-White tablecloth with pink, yellow and lavender table runners. You can
also use streamers along the front.
-White or silver serving utensils with pink, yellow and lavender
ribbons tied to the ends.
Centerpieces
-Baby books with a bow tied around them. Try to use a different book
for each table.
–Plush toy, such as a teddy bear, holding a baby book.
-Pink, yellow and lavender floral centerpieces with little porcelain
books around the vase.
Diaper cake
Use a pink, yellow, and lavender ribbon around each tier, and top the
cake with a baby book. Use matching colored baby items, such as
washcloth, bottles, pacifiers, etc, as the gifts.
Edible cake
A 3D cake in the shape of a book, with a cute baby inscription.
Favors
-Personalized bookmarks would be perfect.
-Porcelain bookworms.
-Bookstore gift cards.
Little Library baby shower gifts
-Of course, the perfect gift would be lots of books. You can buy books
for the baby or the mom.
-Baby toy books – buy the electronic toy books that have a voice
telling the story as you turn the pages.
Thank you cards
For this particular theme, wait until after the baby is born, and send
a small booklet of baby pictures as your thank you cards. Or, you can
send a traditional card, and follow-up with the pictures a little
later.
