In the last few years, a popular baby shower trend has grown where guests are asked to bring a favorite book and sign it in the place of a card. The beauty of this idea is two-fold; in addition to helping to build an awesome library for baby, each book is extra special because of the sentiment written inside. If you love this idea and want to try it out at a shower you’re planning, we’ve made things easy for you by creating six free printable baby shower ‘bring a book’ cards that you can print off and stick into your invites!
‘Bring a Book’ baby shower inserts
Simply choose the format you’d like for your preferred design. We’ve set up the first .pdf files if you’d like to print off a single insert (or if you’d like to send it electronically). The second .pdf has a set of four inserts on a sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ paper that you can print out and cut into singles.
