When my dear friend E asked what I would like to do for a baby shower, I suggested a book shower for Baby B. Since she was doing all the work I couldn’t help but come up with a fun little illustration for the event so I created this cute little bookworm for use on the email invite.

As a way of sharing the special day I created a pdf of Bookworm Bookplates for you to download and print. You can either print on regular cardstock and use doublesided tape to adhere to the book or you can print this straight to label paper. Enjoy!
Baby Shower Details
Sunday’s shower was a wonderful low-key afternoon with the girls. We played a baby name game using scrabble letters that gave everyone a laugh. The names Axl and Zorro found there way onto one teams list. Awe-some! I don’t see either names making the final list but A for effort.
As for the books there was a great selection and I’m so thrilled that everyone got into the idea. The books ranged from the classics like Green Eggs and Ham and Best Mother Goose Ever to modern sculpture art books. Cool developmental Infant books like White on Black made it into the stack and no childrens collection is complete without Everybody Poops!
E did a fantastic job organizing and I can’t thank her enough! So, if you’re looking for a non-traditional shower idea I highly reccomend this one. It allows friends and family to personalize their selection while building a library that the little one will enjoy for years to come.
