Throwing a Storybook Themed Baby Shower
Choose a Storybook Theme
When throwing a storybook themed baby shower, it's important to first choose the right storybook to serve as the theme of the event. The storybook should be something that is meaningful to the parents-to-be. It can be a traditional children's book, a favorite book from either of their childhoods, or even a book that has special significance to their relationship. Once the storybook is chosen, all the decorations and activities around the baby shower can be based on that book.
Decorate with the Storybook Theme
Once the storybook is chosen, all the decorations can be based on that book. The storybook can be used as the main decoration for the party, with pages hung up on the walls, scenes from the book on the table, or characters from the book placed around the room. Other decorations can include storybook-inspired items, such as a castle centerpiece, stuffed animals, or book page banners. Colorful, bright decorations that match the theme of the book can also be used to bring the storybook to life.
Plan Story-Related Activities
When planning activities for the baby shower, think of ways to incorporate the storybook theme into the activities. For example, have a quiz based on the storybook, or have a scavenger hunt with clues related to the book. If the book is a children's book, you can also have crafts or games related to the book. For example, a paper plate craft of the main character from the book or a game based on the plot of the story.
Serve Storybook-Inspired Treats
Serve treats and snacks that are inspired by the storybook theme. This can include things like cupcakes with characters from the book on them, themed finger foods, or snacks that fit in with the plot of the story. Your guests will love the creative treats that match the storybook theme.
Send Story-Inspired Favors
Finally, send your guests home with favors that are inspired by the storybook theme. This can include items like bookmarks with characters from the book, small stuffed animals, or even little books with the storybook's characters on them. Your guests will appreciate the attention to detail and will love the favors they receive.
