With a duck theme, there are many cute shower games that you could play. You might be able to play a version of duck, duck goose? Or maybe you could create a duck pond where players pick ducks out of a floating pond and the winning duck has a marking on the bottom. You could also do a traditional shower game where guests answer questions about the mommy to be to win a prize. You could print your questions on the computer and use some duck themed clip art!

With a duck theme, it is easy to plan desserts. You could have a punch bowl with a little plastic duck floating in it. You could serve duck shaped cookies or even a duck shaped cake. If you wanted to make the cake yourself, it would be easy to add duck embellishments to it.

Whatever ideas you choose to use, I hope you have a ducky time at your duck themed baby shower. A duckling is an adorable image for Spring and a great way to celebrate the mommy to be and the birth of a new little life.
