Oh this is fun! There’s always all these adorable shower ideas out there floating around on the internet and we all look at them with longing admiration. Well, guess what? I HAD one of those showers! Yep—totally adorable, wonderful theme put together by a very dear old friend, Stephanie Smith. My sissy in law, Candace, and another sweet friend, Mariah also contributed to this fantastic event. I was blown away by their creativity and detail!
As all of these ladies have known me for so long, they knew I’d go nuts over their storybook theme.

I wish I would have taken a pic of the invites—maybe I will later. They had the “Once Upon A Time” design on them as well.

These were the centerpieces. Candace made the tablerunners and Steph arranged the flowers on all sorts of classic books.

They also had this cool idea to have people buy baby books instead of cards—so I cashed in on a bunch of sweet books! Amber got me my favorite book as a little kid The Happy Man and his Dumptruck.
