Possible Bridal Shower Centerpieces

These are looking like possible centerpieces for my bridal shower. I am doing a book/ fairytale theme. The "save the dates" will be bookmarks asking my invitees to please "Book the Date". My bridal shower invitations will ask my invitees to help me "start the next chapter of my life" by bringing a copy of their favorite book to help me start my library for my new home. The look I want for the bridal shower will have some a stack of books with faux jewels and the saying... "Once upon a time..."

The stacked books will look like below...
