Bedtime Stories Baby Shower

One of my friends in our neighborhood book club is prego with with her first girl after 3 boys! So I thought it would be fun to throw just a little surprise shower for her at our next meeting. I wanted to stay with a "book" theme because we were doing it as a book club and we all know I have to have a theme... So after looking around for many days I finally found the perfect one! I saw this Bedtime Stories theme on the blog Hostess With The Mostess and just fell madly in love! Now that I had my theme I could go with the details. I got a little "camera happy" with this shower so I apologize right now for all the pictures.

For the invites I just found a template online and filled in my info and printed them off. I Put them in a little cellophane baggie with some star confetti, sweet and simple. I put a note on the bottom to bring your faavorite children's book for the new baby.
The tables were set up to look like little beds The milk bottles were just Starbucks Frappuccino bottles all washed and cleaned out, and the straws I bought on etsy from Hey Yo Yo. For food we had Lullaby Lemonade Crescent Moon Croissants And Star Kissed (pasta) Salad I also put a couple bedtime books on the table for a little decoration For the Bedtime Snack table I hung some baby jammies and a teddy bear on the wall from a clothes line for the back drop. I had a lot of fun thinking of snacks for this party... Moon Rock Candy Dream Cloud Donuts Yes, I sparkled the donuts a bit! Storybook Cupcakes The books were just made of fondant, and I put them inside a storage box book I just got at Michaels. Gotta have some milk before bed! Over the Moon Pies Cosmic Cookies The most amazing cookies made by my good friend Gina who sells them on her blog here.
I found these adorable Lil Moon Bookmarks that came inside a little nursery rhyme book online and thought that they were just perfect to give as favors for the book club ladies! Well that is finally all the pictures I took. Thanks for sticking with me and hope you all enjoyed! I know I had a blast planning it and hope that the mommy to be had a good time as well. Now onto planning the next event!!!
