Children’s Book Themed Baby Boy Shower!

  • Share 15
  • Tweet

Children's Book themed Baby ShowerI recently had the pleasure of hosting a sweet baby shower for my friend Kristen Steele. She’s awaiting the arrival of a darling baby boy so it was an absolute pleasure to shower her + the little one with a baby shower. It was yellow, baby blue, and navy themed with Children’s Books incorporated throughout! We built up baby boy’s library with all the classics. It was such a wonderful time, and I had an absolute blast with the party details. Check out the pictures below!

PARTY DETAILS

  • Guests signed a sweet “library book” poster (designed by Paper & Pigtails) that we framed for the guest book. 
  • The party menu was influenced by my favorite children’s books. See below for full list.
  • Kristen’s friend Elizabeth Higgenbotham made the most darling cookies that were just perfect.
  • Favors were chocolate chip cookies packaged up next to “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” book!
  • I love the patterns of Midori Ribbon and used it to decorate everything from the bow tie on the bear’s tricycle to wrapping gifts.
  • Be on the lookout for one of my fave details – bow tie garland!
  • A bold yellow and white stripe fabric made the perfect tablecloth!

      Yes, Andrea! I sure did :) Guests also brought a book instead of a card. Sweet baby boy has quite the little library now!

    Someone threw me a book themed baby shower and I loved having a bunch of books already in my baby’s library. I love your menu and the decorations are adorable. Check out http://www.littletrainbooks.com for a great baby shower gift…books.

    I’m hosting a shower with a similar theme and I’m wondering where you found the vintage tricycle that the bear is sitting in. Can you let me know? Thanks!

    Hi there,

    Love this idea. We are planning on doing something very similar for a co-workers baby shower. Wondering if you can help direct me in where I can purchse those cute yellow stripped popcorn boxes. I am having a hard time finding some!

    Many thanks!

      Hi Karina! They were purchased from a place here locally called Old Time Pottery, you can check their website to see if you can buy online or check online/ebay for “metal wire bicycle planters” for something similar!
