11. Storybook Spring

Planning tips to tie everything together

• Color palette: Pick two main colors and one accent for a cohesive look.
• Keepsakes: Ask guests to bring a book instead of a card; create a signing area where they can write a message inside the cover.
• Comfort: If the shower is outdoors, provide blankets, shade umbrellas, or a warming station depending on the weather.
• Games: Favor short, sweet games that keep the energy up without taking too much time — diaper raffle, baby-prediction cards, or a gentle trivia about parenthood.
