Throw a Duck Themed Baby Shower!

It's very easy (and fun!) to throw a duck-themed baby shower. Depending on your budget, you can customize everything from your invitation down to your paper cup. If you are working with a small budget, you can choose one prominent duck-themed component such as your cake or your souvenirs, and then have all your other party paraphernalia in shades of yellow. Here are a few suggestions on where to get your duck-themed supplies:

Invitations. Paperstyle has a good selection of duck-themed invitations. They have Duckie on Lemon Baby Cards, which are more on the elegant, classic style, the Ducks Frame Square Birth Announcements, which are more minimalist in style, and if you are planning to use plain yellow invitation cards and envelopes, you can use their Rubber Duckie Die Cut Return Address Labels, which will instantly transform your plain invitations to something more duck-y! This last option will probably better for smaller budgets. Another option you can check out is the Rubber Duck Baby Shower Invitation from The Babbling Baby, selling at $1.75 each.

Paper Plates, Cups, Napkins. Now that you've sent your invitations out, you have to think about feeding your guests in style - duck-style, that is! To make your life much easier, Shindigz sells these Splish Splash Kits that practically have everything you need to serve your delicious baby shower food. A Splish Splash Kit includes plates, cups, napkins, thank you notes, gold cutlery, balloons, even a table cover! A kit costs $17.99, a pretty good deal considering that it is good for eight people. They also have a deluxe kit that includes a banner, streamers, and candles. You can learn more about your options from www.shindigz.com. To decorate your tables at your baby shower, you can use Baby Ducky Centerpieces that go for $2.65 each; to save on cost, you can invest in three of these centerpieces and just use regular paper plates and cups - the centerpiece can be enough to give that duck vibe!

Cakes and cookies. Of course, no baby shower can be complete without a scrumptious cake, or cookies if you prefer. For $79.99, you can have this Ducky Custom Cake from Chocolate Bakery; a bit pricey, but for the price, you can actually choose which kind of cake you want it to be: carrot cake, chocolate euphoria, german chocolate cake, lemon cake, red velvet, and a few other options. You can order it for delivery from their web site. For a cheaper alternative, you can order Chocolate Bakery's Welcome New Baby Cookie Assortment - Ducks for $30. Of course, you can always buy a regular cake (or cupcakes!) from your local bakery or supermarket and decorate them with these cute rock star rubber duckies! For options that are just as creative but not as edible, this Baby Diaper Cake makes for a great baby shower gift: pretty and functional!

Games, games, games! For $5 from Party Pail, you can get this Rubber Duck Game Kit, which includes four games for up to 20 guests, according to their web site. If you choose to go with the regular cake or cupcakes adorned with cute rock start rubber duckies, you can certainly play the Lucky duck game. A fun game that can be played by adults and kids alike, the Lucky Duck Game is a fun activity for all! See the instructions on this web page. Have fun!

Souvenir. And when it's time to say goodbye, this simple yet adorable Ducky Key Chain serves a functional and sentimental purpose. You can't go wrong with this one!

Remember, you don't have to buy all of these things to throw a great duck-themed baby shower. Invest in one or a couple of items and improvise with the rest! Congratulations on your little one!
