Storybook Baby Shower & Printables

This beautiful storybook shower was for a good friend. Practically my sister (going on 28 years) I was honored to have the opportunity to help out with some of the party decor. Everything was about stories, books and all with a classic and vintage flair. I am a book fanatic and collect children’s books so I couldn’t wait to help out. This is such a simple theme and very inexpensive to do; with just a few printouts, book pages, and children’s books.

Book Request Poem- Storybook Baby Shower Ideas #party #babyshower

The family requested in lieu of cards to bring books. This is an idea that is gaining huge popularity. You can find books for around the same price as a nice card at stores like Marshalls and Amazon online. What a beautiful keepsake for the child. I love the thought that every time they read the book my personal note will be there. Cards get pushed away in a baby book somewhere.

Book Page Craft Storybook Baby Shower Ideas

With a yard sale book find I crafted up a wreath and table runner. It added the perfect touch along with a few of the mom to be’s classic Disney storybooks.

Food was served up buffet style with a great selection of cold pasta salad, crudités, crackers, and treats. Each food item had a classic children’s book that corresponded with it. You can grab the free storybook baby shower printables here.
