Baby Shower Trend: Ditch the Card, Bring a Book

Forget the traditional card at the baby shower and bring a book! It is not only a gift for the parents, but for the child, too. Customize the inside front or back cover with a message for the little one to read as they get older. This gift will be enjoyed for many years to come, and today this trend has become wildly popular amongst expecting parents. 

One of the benefits to bringing a book to the party is that babies can hear books read through the womb! 

Have all the guests and the expecting mother sit in a circle, and instead of opening up cards, open to the first page of the book and read an excerpt to the baby. You might even see a little reaction from the happy baby. Research shows that babies hear words their mothers speak while in the womb; babies have also proven to have larger vocabularies when they learn language through hearing books. 

Not really sure what book to get? Check out this list of some of our favorites.
