Baby Shower Themes: Duck, Duck--- Ducky!

Photo Credit: Arden PhotographyDoesn't it seem like there's always a new baby on the way? You can celebrate the new arrival in style and it doesn't have to cost a fortune. Start by cutting back on expensive party decorations and use your food, beverages, dishes and serving pieces as your decorations. We used an adorable polka dot ducky cake as our centerpiece for this party. Break out your nice dinnerware to set a beautiful table. Your everyday dishes will usually work just fine. Add a colorful salad plate like we did here. You can even use plastic or melamine---- even paper! These days, there are no rules about using just one pattern. Mixing and matching patterns and textures are in!

Make or order a fun cake or cupcakes and incorporate a fun theme. This rubber ducky theme is adorable, no matter if your new mom is expecting a little boy or a little girl. Bright and colorful, this party theme is even fun for a little one's first birthday party. Add a pop of color with glassware or a signature beverage in party colors: pink like my favorite Pomegranate lemonade for a little girl or blue, like these Blue Breeze cocktails. Make sure to serve a non-alcoholic option also.

Send guests home with a rubber ducky of their own, along with a luxurious bath bomb (love the Lush bath bombs) as a party favor.
