Type-filled pages extracted from old books infuse texture and style into this Literary Baby Shower’s decor right from the start.

Classic paper chains from book pages get a modish vibe with random fuchsia links. Sew pages together to create a charming table runner topped with silver pots of miniature tissue paper pom poms.

Hang this dazzling book page backdrop behind the cereal bar and watch it silently dance during the party. Install it later as a mobile above a bookshelf in the baby’s nursery.
