Ready to be spoiled rotten?? Sometimes friends or I throw showers and so I end up designing a few things for them. AND. Rather than letting those delicious files that I poured into sit in digital idleness and waste, I am here sharing them with you for free so you can go nuts and throw a ridiculously adorable baby shower of your own. SOCK MONKEYS. Are they not the cutest, hippest thing out there now?? Well, I must give credit to my friend, Amanda, who had the genius of throwing a sock monkey baby shower. Turns out there are some PRE-EETTy insanely charming party ideas with a sock monkey themed shower out there. Who knew, monkeys made of knitted footwear= gushingly cute.
For sprucing up your sock monkey baby shower I present…
The paper banner (pennant)

This download includes a banner with the words “Little Monkey” and also includes extra patterned triangles if you just want to decorate and/or not include the letters. To assemble you can fold top over some string and glue or staple -or- punch two holes on the top corners and thread a string through (as shown below).
Hanging monkey advice cards
This is one of my faves. I suggested some advice cards and with the monkey theme we figure it would be awesome if we could little monkeys hanging on a branch with advice on it. This is what I came up with. What is great is that once advice is written and hung others can take a tour of the monkey tree and enjoy reading the little cards during the shower.

Hello…we are hosting a co-ed baby shower and would LOVE to use the monkey tree tags. Was wondering if there is a way to change ‘mommy to be’ to ‘parents-to-be’ and also changing the color to lime green or yellow? Many thanks!
Hi Sharon,
I offer custom changes for $15 per file 😀
Do you do custom invitations as a JPEG? I love the monkey face you have on the labels with the colors/patterns you have….just want to combine them all into an invite!
Yes, it is $15 per file.
I am having trouble printing the sock monkey free printables.
Hey there, were you able to print it out? What issues are you having?
Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know
a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I
think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
