How to Plan a "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" Baby Shower

A "Now I lay Me Down to Sleep" baby shower theme has many possibilities. Here are some things to consider when planning:

Invitations: You should include a picture of a child kneeling in prayer with the prayer verse: 'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.' You can also make up invitations that look like pillows with the prayer verse written on them.

Decorations/favors: Hands folded in prayer or candles in pastel colors are a great idea. You can also have small pillows filled with potpourri with the prayer verse written or embroidered on them.

Games: These should be centered around the idea of bed time or the verse. You should try to take traditional baby shower games and add a twist in the name or how the game is played to tie in the theme.

Cake: You should have the prayer verse written on it or for a creative approach, it could be made to look like a bed.
