We all know how important it is to start reading to young children as early as possible, so why not start their love of reading early—at their baby shower! Use our free printable book request card to ask guests to bring a book instead of a card to grow baby’s library right from the start.
This gender-neutral free printable Book Request Card is perfect for getting baby’s book collection off to the right start! The cute poem asks baby shower guests to bring a book instead of a card and even says that the book can be old or new, so guests don’t feel like they’re being asked to spend more.
Simply print the Book Request Card file onto a white card stock, and cut out the cards with a paper cutter or scissors. Place the cards with your baby shower invitations, and wait and see what books the guests choose!
Guests at baby showers I’ve hosted loved the idea and enjoyed choosing a book for the baby rather than getting a card that could just be thrown away. My kids love reading the notes in the books to see who they came from, and the books become sweet memories for them as they grow. The mom-to-be is sure to love all the books she receives!
