No problem! Theme your party around all things <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bookish<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instead. For instance, you can decorate your event space like a bookstore with shelves of children\u2019s classics with cute <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bookworm motifs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or you can create a library-style environment with \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">library cards\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for guests to fill out with a special word of encouragement for the guest of honor and new arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3.

Any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">children\u2019s literature<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes a great gift, as well as stories and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fairy tales<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the parents can read to their bundle of joy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Decorate with Books<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Books aren\u2019t just for reading \u2014 they&#8217;re also a great<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> party decor idea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To bring your theme to life, swap traditional baby shower decorations for ones themed around books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stack your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">favorite books<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on tables as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">centerpieces<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or look for artwork that features <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book covers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">children\u2019s books<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hang bunting or banners with a reading or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bookworm<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> theme, and use foil balloons to spell out a phrase from a featured book or a book title.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5.
