Last month, my best friend Karen threw me a very bookish baby shower to celebrate the arrival of Sullivan. Each guest was kindly asked to bring a book to build Sullivan's library in lieu of a card. Cards are too easily forgotten and disposed of, but a book will live in Sully's library for years to come. I did my best to get each book inscribed to Sully from the person gifting it, and I look forward to being reminded of them and this special day every time Sully and I read one of the books together.
Greys and yellows to tie into Sully's nursery colours.
The food was delicious and creatively tied into popular children's books.
Thank you to all my wonderful friends and family for coming to meet and celebrate the birth of Sully, and a HUGE thank you to Karen for making it all happen! I'm one lucky gal to have such good friends and loving family. Unfortunately, I wasn't on top of things that day and I didn't get very many pictures of all my lovely guests! Luckily we have a book to remember each and every one of you that was there :)
Very cute and such a good idea! My friend did the same thing at her baby shower, and it is so much better to have all of those books
ReplyDeleteIt really is! And now I don't have to feel guilty for throwing out a bunch of cards ;)
DeleteThat is so lovely! And how fab that you not only have all those books, but an awesome reminder of all the people who are special to you. Awwwwwwww :)
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Adults should do this for parties too! ;)
DeleteAdorable! We have the same nursery colours!
ReplyDeleteI see that! I love grey and yellow so much that it didn't matter if I was having a boy or a girl ;)
DeleteThis is a wonderful idea, I still have my children's books from my Aunt Laura, and I always thought she was awesome for getting me books. All my toys may be forgotten or donated, but I treasure my books :)
ReplyDeleteI only have a few books from childhood - it's one of my biggest regrets, that I didn't hang on to more over the years!
