- The following book baby shower ideas were submitted by Susan:
Everyone who was read to as a child has a favorite book they remember.
Maybe it was published by Golden Books, or perhaps it was a classic like "The Cat in the Hat".
Send out invitations that look like a child's book, with the time and place as the text for the book.
Everyone is instructed in the invitation to bring their favorite book from when they were a child.
The baby shower can be decorated with colorful characters from books or the books themselves around the room.
Napkins can have the depiction of Pokey Puppy or other such favorites.
For a game, each person can show their favorite book, tell what it is about and why they loved it as a child.
Then they can present the books to the mother as an extra gift for the baby.

Book Baby Shower Garland
Isn't this book garland adorable?! What a cute idea! I found this over at Martha Stewart and thought it was such a clever idea! All you would have to do is cut out a rectangle out of card stock and then cut out several slightly smaller rectangle from regular copy paper. Fold them in half and then staple to a pretty ribbon or string.
