The Decorations. Use the words of Goodnight Moon to mold your decorations for your Goodnight Moon baby shower. What's in that great green room? A red balloon of course!

Additionally, you can use adorable bunnies as part of this baby shower theme since the characters pictured in the book are rabbits.

The cow jumping over the moon is another well known line and picture from the book so this nursery rhyme theme would also be a great decoration idea for a Goodnight Moon baby shower.

The Cake. The cake for a Goodnight Moon can reflect the cover of the beloved book. Visit a local bakery and ask them to recreate the book cover for the cake. Most bakeries will be able to oblige with no problems. Instead of having the words "Goodnight Moon" in the space where the title of the book is, ask the bakery to write "Hello Baby ... (insert the name here if it is known, or use the family last name)" in the same orange font as the traditional book cover. Where the author's name appears at the bottom, have the bakery write "By (insert the mom and dad's names here)." This adorable way of celebrating the new baby, and the parents, is a great way to make this Goodnight Moon baby shower cake extra special.

The Games. No baby shower is complete without some fun games. A great baby shower game you can play for a Goodnight Moon baby shower centers around picture books, perfect for the theme of Goodnight Moon.. Give guests a paper with each letter of the alphabet on it. Then give them time to fill in as many picture book titles as they can, one for each letter of the alphabet. You may want to have this game ongoing throughout the baby shower since it may take a while to think of titles. Not only is this a fun game to see who can get the most titles, but the new mom can collect the papers at the end of the baby shower and perhaps get some great ideas for new books for her little one to enjoy! Many other traditional baby shower games can also be played but having a special game that goes with your Goodnight Moon theme will really make it memorable.

Another fun way to make a Goodnight Moon baby shower memorable is to ask each guest to bring in a board book to go along with their gift. This small item will help the new mom establish a great library for her little one.
