Book-Themed Shower for Baby Girl Tuck

Apologies in advance, but I've got a little more bragging to do. : ) Last weekend, my parents-in-law threw the hubs and me a book-themed baby shower. It was so creative and so impressive! Everything was matched with children's books: the delicious homemade food, the favors, lanterns crafted from book pages (forgot to photograph those in the excitement of seeing everyone!), a "baby" movie word jumble, a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" cupcake display... It was all so elaborate and gorgeous! And best of all, our favorite couples in the area came and brought our baby girl some wonderful books. She has quite the beginnings of a library collection now! We just wanted to send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the shower, and most of all, much love to Ryan's parents for planning and executing such a beautiful afternoon. We couldn't be more grateful.

This was too clever: the "adult" beverage/punch station was matched with "Where The Wild Things Are." : )Frederick-MD-babyshower-couples_0005
