We recently teamed up with HUGGIES^® Baby Shower Planner to bring you some creative baby shower inspiration… something LOVE talking about around here anyways, as you may have gathered. ;) I thought it would be fun to kick things off with a detailed round-up of our favorite Book Themed Baby Shower ideas, which is a theme I’ve been asked about a lot lately. Added bonus: it’s gender neutral!

FREE PRINTABLES: Book Themed Activity Quiz & Bookplates

One of the first things that always comes to mind for me for this theme – is the clever activity quiz from an adorable children’s book baby shower that we featured a while back. It’s always been a super popular download here, but was previously only available as a text document. SO… this felt like the perfect time to put a pretty graphic design spin on it and create a brand new, printable Baby Shower Activity Quiz that you can download (for free!) to use at your own celebration, complete with Answer Key and coordinating Printable Bookplates to match. ENJOY!

Scroll down to access high-res PDFs of the printables (at the bottom of the post) and get inspired with lots of inspiration for your own book baby shower! Here’s a snapshot of all the ideas, followed by more detailed info below…

Shannon of Bottle Pop Party Co. was equipped with balloons, cars and candy + free printables from Sarah of Confetti Sunshine for her daughter Macy’s 8th Birthday Parade inspired by the classic Thanksgiving tradition! A couple years back, I took a different spin on the parade for my Macy’s First Birthday ;)… but I’m definitely going to keep this in mind a few years down the road for a more “grown up” & girly approach!

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Convertible cars filled with candy gum balls and drummer topped cupcakes
– A popcorn bar with caramel, butter & cotton candy varieties
– Fringe wrapped gable boxes, glittery DIY party hats & a confetti filled photo booth!
