Question
I am trying to plan my little sister's bridal shower.  She really loves to read, so I was trying to think of a theme and some ideas that revolve around what she loves.  I thought of "Happily Ever After" as a theme, but that reminds me of a Cinderella theme or princess story which is not what I am really going for. Do you have any suggestions?  I am looking for any and all ideas--theme, location, etc.  Thanks so much in advance for you help.

Answer
You could also do a "Literary Lovers" theme which could encompass a wider range of females who lived happily ever after.  This would take you out of the fairy tale genre.

You know you can actually rent a room at the public library...or perhaps your local book store has a room that would be good for a bridal shower--where you could serve food and beverage.  

Even some of the Mansions for Rent have a library room that would work out for your event.

I hope some of those ideas spark a plan for you.

Once you have your theme and location set, the decorations and refreshments will fall into place.

Best to you,
