Sarah's Golden Book themed baby shower

I decided that before I moved away, I wanted to throw a baby shower for my sister-in-law and niece she is expecting. I thought and thought about a good theme. Then, the Thursday before the shower, it hit me. The girl loves to collect golden books. So I did a quick google search and found this blog post at Aesthetic Nest and set to work doing something similar, throwing it together in just 3 days. However, I did not want to do blue and yellow, so did pink and yellow.

First, there were the presents. I wrapped most of them in pink paper, and the cute ribbon, some white and yellow stripes, some white with yellow polkadots. Then I placed one of the dad-to-be's favorite books behind the presents.
Above the presents, I placed a few more books.
For the table, we decided to go incredibly fancy and use my great-grandmother's China. These dishes never get used, so I decided this was the perfect occasion to pull them out. The best part? They had gold.
The center of the table consisted of some pink flowers in a pink box, with a yellow ribbonn tied around the box. Two glass containers that held golden reeses cups and peanut M&Ms, also with yellow ribbon tied around them, and one of the golden book cutouts in the middle. Two small books stood on each side, with a small bowl of pecans, and a yellow container with pink mints in it.
I had found this adorable idea and decided to create one myself for my niece, Emmaliegh. Then I decided to use it for a wall decoration behind the dining room table. I love how they turned out. Also I loved that they were hanging on a light green wall, which is a color they plan on painting the nursery.
For dessert, I made pink (strawberry) and yellow (lemon) cupcakes with the book tags in a few of them.
For the food table, I used this adorable pink and yellow fabric I had as a table cloth. It was very appropriate as they are doing the nursery in pink zoo animals, such as giraffes. I also had this pretty pink and yellow flower arrangement in a pink vase with yellow ribbon, plus more golden books, as the centerpiece on the food table.
We offered fresh fruit, with chocolate dip, cheese platter, spinach dip with crackers, then there was also Publix's cubanito sandwiches, min pigs-in-a-blanket and meatballs, but I forgot to get a picture of them.

And a platter of golden oreos. For no other reason than they were 'golden'.
I have never thrown a shower quite like this, but I loved how it turned out, and so did every one else.
