Many people associate yellow ducks with babies - probably because they are both so cute and cuddly! Because of all the adorable duck-themed baby items available, it is very easy to plan a rubber ducky themed baby shower. You can use a number of phrases on your invitations including rubber ducky, lucky duck, ducky duck, just ducky or even rub-a-dub-dub (for more of a bathtime theme). Decorate in yellow - of course - and add splashes of blue to simulate water. Decorate the guest book table with this unique ducky gift cake that includes a giant rubber duck, hooded bath towel, sleep gown, hat, booties, washcloth, brush and comb. Rubber duckies are inexpensive, so use them generously throughout your shower. They look cute scattered throughout your food table (especially with a blue tablecloth), they make great place card holders and they are perfect for game pieces. You can even create a miniature duck pond and help your guests relive their childhood! We also have a great selection of baby shower favors to decorate your tables or send guests home with a treat. There are photo frames, candles, bookmarks, personalized candy jars or even mint tins with a cute rubber duck announcing the shower date. Many hosts will send out these mint tins along with their invitations so the guests have a tasty reminder of the upcoming celebration.

Rubber Ducky Themed Baby shower Invitations Local party supply stores and online baby shower shops are a great resource for unique baby shower invitations and thank you note cards. When it comes to invitations, you have several options and your choice will most likely be dictated by your budget. Fully customized invitations like the one shown to the right normally cost a couple of dollars each so for large showers, they can get quite expensive. However, they are a gorgeous way to invite guests. The second option is to buy duck themed invitations where you 'fill-in' the shower details by hand prior to mailing them. Of course, this means that you have to take the time to hand write the invites which can be a bit overwhelming for really large showers. However, this is obviously a much cheaper alternative to pre-printed personalized invitations. If you are creative, you can make your own invitations either using scrapbook type supplies or your computer. The great thing about making your own is that it is often inexpensive and you can tailor the invites and duck thank you notes specifically to your shower. You can even include a photo of the pregnant mommy. Finally, if all of the guests are part of the technology age, you could go with the cheapest invites of all... Evites. Guests reply directly online and all of the guests can see who else is planning to attend. Here are some of my favorite fully personalized and printed invites that you can purchase online (with a duck motif)... Rubber Ducky Baby Shower Table Decor Having some Rubber Ducky baby shower table decor(like the style shown in the photo to the right) is almost a must to carry your theme throughout the shower. If you are on a tight budget, I recommend getting just a few of the rubber ducky baby shower table decor items such as plates and napkins and then getting tablecloths, cups, and silverware that are just plain yellow or blue. The themed tableware can get expensive if you try to buy every single item in a yellow ducky theme. That said, I have seen many companies selling duck themed party packs which seem to be more reasonably priced than buying each item individually. The bottom line is that you need to add all of the tableware items up to determine whether it is more cost effective to buy the party pack or just the individual items.
