Build a Library Baby Shower

 

I don’t have any recipes to go with this post.  But I do have some inspiration for you.  My sister and I threw a baby shower for my cousin this last weekend.  We didn’t want to do a typical “cutesy” theme.  I was browsing etsy and found cute invites that would work perfect.  And….then we just went with it.

I just used boxed cake mix.  The bottom book is two layers and the top book is one layer.

We set out a bowl of Swedish fish to go with the book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

We served a berry fruit salad to go with the book Jamberry.

I found old books at our thrift store that had all of the classic nursery rhymes.  SInce the books were only $4 total, I had not tears when it came to cutting the pages.  I saved the banner to hang in our play room.

You can order your own perfect invites here.  This gal is wonderful to work with and VERY quick.  I was really happy with how it turned out.
