an autumn | storybook baby shower {part one}
on saturday, october 17, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law threw me an adorable autumn | storybook themed baby shower here in charlotte. it was beautiful, memorable and so much fun. i was twenty-seven weeks along and loved being surrounded by family and friends to celebrate baby boy. i know that so much time/planning was put into the event – making it very special. they both started planning over the summer and spent a lot of time preparing several little details that meant so much– i am so appreciative. hours were spent at barnes and noble to find the perfect books {with food dishes to match} each pick was chosen with love and for a specific reason. i can not thank them and all of the people who came and generously showered our baby boy- it truly means so much.

Book themes what a great idea. Lots for mom to read and it can go either way for boys or girls baby showers. I try to incorporate food from stories here.

I love the book themes. Great ideas, extra books for your home library. Books are the gifts that keep giving for years. Your little one will be lucky to have a wide collection .

Everything looks great! My uncle and his wife did the story book idea too, I gave them "give a mouse a cookie"! It looks like a lot of fun & the cupcakes look yummy.
