A new chapter begins. An open book on the table grows into a whole world — a stone cottage with lit windows, a little bridge over a stream, bluebirds, a castle in the distance — with peach and blue flowers curling around the edges of the page. It is the card for parents who plan to read every bedtime story twice.
The lower pages of the book are your writing space: a serif headline, the mom-to-be’s name and the details fit with room to breathe. Slate blue and cocoa lettering match the book’s binding and the cottage roof.
The natural party idea: ask every guest to bring a favorite children’s book with a note inside instead of a card, and stack them as the centerpiece. Add a “once upon a time” cake, milk in tiny bottles and cookies shaped like stars. Completely neutral for a boy, a girl or a surprise.
