Here's a fun idea. Some of us may have asked each guest at a baby shower to bring a book to start baby's library collection, but the shower we read about on Orange Beautiful also included bookplates for guests to personalize and place inside their books.
You can find the bookplates at Nested, a new blog. Print them out and include them in your invitations, or just have guests fill them out at the shower as one of your "activities."

I did this for a shower that I hosted recently and included an insert in the invitation with this poem, as well as a book plate.
A card is nice, its sentiment sweet,
But a book will keep the twins on their feet.
For years to come, the twins will read
Longing for stories will never be a need.
A shelf full of wisdom for all to give,
For the twins to keep as long as they live.
Filling the shelf should not be hard,
If you would please sign a book instead of a card.
In lieu of a card, please choose a favorite book to help start the Caceres twins’ library. Please sign your name on the enclosed book plate and stick it to the book’s inside cover
