Book inspired baby shower + Printable Book Quiz

Me and 2 other local pregnant blog friends hosted a B is for baby shower, books, brunch, and blogger! It was a fun excuse to get our local blog girls together before the holidays! We asked our blog girls to bring books to kick start our babies libraries. Our book inspired baby baby shower was so much fun to put together!

I was in charge of decorating and Jenn and Lani were in charge of food. Lindi of Love the Day, another sweet Austin blogger, whipped up this adorable set of printables for us! Seriously, all I said was our theme is B is for baby, book, brunch, and blogger and 2 days later this appeared in my inbox. Incredinle! You can get all of these fun printable in her etsy store here.

I printed out the printable party pack on card stock, cut out all of the shapes and hung ’em up. It was seriously that easy. Party printables rock my world. Never throw another party without them. I ended up printing the whole set at Staples for less than $10. My printer at home has issues, but Staples printing always comes through. I bought a party pack of white fans at Party Time for $10, it’s from the wedding section! I used fishing line and tape to hang these suckers up above the table. Oh and the giant B’s are made out of cereal boxes and the patterned paper is just part of the printable set that I taped to the cereal boxes.

And if the B is for babies, books, and brunch printables aren’t awesome enough, she made this cute quiz to go with it!

As for the B is for baby and books menu, we went with book themed goodies.

Our book themed baby shower food menu

• The Very Hungry Caterpillar: Fruit skewers
• If You Give a Mouse a Cookie: Cookies

• One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish : Rainbow goldfish and Swedish fish
• Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: Crock pot meatballs
• If You Give a Cat a Cupcake: Cupcakes
• Goodnight Moon: Moon Pies

Jenn printed the book covers out and I framed them with white frames I have on hand from my gallery wall obsession. How fun (and delicious) are those green eggs?

The printable cupcake toppers are so great for sprucing up the food table. Just cut them out, tape them to tooth picks, and stick them in baked goods. Instant cuteness.

Mini water bottles are perfect for parties and a little printable wrapped around makes them festive.

Here’s a table shot, just for fun…

Here are the 3 pregnant ladies! Don’t mind that I had to rip my smoke detector outta the ceiling the other night because it wouldn’t stop beeping, ha!
