Book themes round up

One thing I always hope for my children is that they will love books and reading – especially in this age of i-phones and i-pads they are growing up in!

For this reason I have a soft spot for any book – themed party. There is something I love about theming a party based around your child’s favourite book and encouraging and celebrating their love of a wonderful story!

So I’ve gathered together some inspiration for you – various book-themed parties/dessert tables that I love.

Click onto the images to be taken directly to view more photos of these celebrations! Remember when party planning to visit the Life’s Little Celebrations children’s party directory for fantastic vendors such as cake makers, party stores, printables and more!
