Hi everyone. I wanted your opinions about my idea for a potential bridal shower theme...books!

I'm currently talking with my aunt and family about what type of Bridal Shower I'd like to have. My fiance and I are already planning on doing a honey-moon registry because we have all the kitchen/bath stuff that we want. I'd like to have a bridal shower, but my Aunt thought it would be "odd" to not have any actual gifts to open at the shower, so she wanted me to have a "real" registry with house stuff on it as well. This way, I could open a "real gifts" at the shower instead of people giving to the honeymoon fund.

I also tend to feel that showers, etc. where people are obligated to give you gifts that you've already picked out for yourself are somewhat impersonal. I was wondering about what kinds of things others could give us that would feel more personal but also be useful to us. Then I thought that the one thing that most about-to-be-married couples need is advice.

Then it hit me...we could have a book themed bridal shower where everyone gives us their favorite book about marriage/love! It could be from any genre, but it would have to be something that would teach us something about marriage. A cook book teaching how you to cook and care for each other. A do-it-yourself fix it book so we could learn how to fix our shared home. A fictional love story, or poems. The Kama Sutra! And, everyone could include a personal inscription in their book, like a card that you can keep forever.

What do you think about my idea? Does a book-bridal shower sound fun/interesting or does it sound crazy?

P.S. I also thought this could serve as an amazing baby shower theme! Give the kid your favorite books from when you were a child so she has books to read as she gets older.
