Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a timeless and classic theme for your baby shower. I love the illustrations from all of the tales and the inhabitants of this English Cottage Garden and Forest setting, including Benjamin Bunny, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail, Jemima Puddle Duck, Tom Kitten and the many other woodland friends too. While I can appreciate the AI generated imagery of Beatrix Potter’s characters that I see in many products today, I love the imagery that I grew up with. Maybe you also have special memories of time spent looking over the pastoral imagery and wonderful stories of her many tales.
Here is a list of her books that you can read at the online Gutenburg library. They include the stories and illustrations and are free to the public.

Just for you is a free printable Beatrix Potter invitation template made with a page from the beginning of the Tale of Benjamin Bunny. It shows some of my favorite characters beautifully hand-painted in a soft and gender neutral palette (just in case your baby’s gender will be a surprise as mine all were!) You can right click to save it and size it to your liking for printing. It is a write-in invitation which is a little old fashioned, or vintage you might say, but you can plan a special day with your friends to fill them in and get them ready to send out. More memories to cherish forever for your Baby Shower!
