This is a great resource on a true real life bridal shower that had the book lover theme. This is my sisters bridal shower where I transformed rooms around my house to create a love story, book lovers dream.
A Love Story Bridal Shower: A Book-Themed Celebration for My Sister
These are so elegant when you don't want to or can't use real dish wear. I love the sage green, not too girly but still feminine.
Sage Green Plastic Dinner Plates, Gold Rim
I usually make this myself but sometimes you are short on time and you need to outsource. This is a beautiful runner and if it doesn't get dirty then it could be reused for the future which I love.
Literary Wedding Table Runner
A great way to save time and energy if you are short on resources. These look old which gives it a great feel for a book lover bridal shower theme.

A simple detail that goes a long way. Chapters in a book just like chapters of two peoples love story or journey. I think this is beautifully done.
Book-themed table numbers
Truly perfect for the girl that loves her Harry Potter. This is such a great way to make a big impact in your decorating. What an experience to give your guests.

When you need a unique gift that will mean something and the person loves the feel of a real book this would be an exceptional choice. They can use it as decor in their house and it would mean something.

These are great to have for any event. You can make a lot of arrangements and scatter them throughout the room to bring fresh life into the space. I love my bud vases and use them all the time.
Glass Bud Vases
I like the subtle nod to the book theme but it isn't over powering with a book image on the napkin as well. Simple and clean.
Here's to the Next Chapter Napkins
So beautifully made and perfect for a book lover theme. I could see these hung over a table or behind the bride to be's chair when she is opening gifts.
Book Bursts
I love the bow details on this invitation and I also love that you can have it printed or send it out via text message/email.

I love this simple chicken salad recipe and I LOVE croissants. A croissant just makes it feel a little more dressed up and a little more special.
Croissant Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe
Bridal showers are filled with women who want to eat but don't want to pig out. These are great to keep things light and airy and I love the twist of the herbed cream cheese.
Cucumber Rounds with Herbed Cream Cheese
Everyone loves a charcuterie board to snack on and they can look so beautiful.
Charcuterie Board
Such a refreshing twist on the traditional lemonade and it makes it fun for a bridal celebration.

So fresh and light. Everyone will love this pasta salad. You can also adjust it to use the veggies you have on hand which I love.

We used these to allow guests at my sisters bridal shower to write down marriage advice. It was a perfect way for us to stay within the theme and make a keepsake for them.

A great way to give something useful and beautiful. These are right on theme and I love the sage green color (if you use the sage green plates)
Book Soap Favors
What a beautiful work of art that you can wear. So meaningful and touching. Also beautifully made. Something the Bride can pass down to her little girl one day.
Alice in Wonderland ivory blue evening purse, embroidered book bag clutch
