Bright yellow ducks are a classic, fun theme for any baby shower. They're cute and appealing for either a boy or a girl shower. It's easy to find materials that will help you incorporate ducks into every aspect of your party. Does this Spark an idea?
Duck-Shaped Invitations
The simplest way to make your own duck-themed invitations is to cut them into duck shapes. Use yellow card stock and a picture of a duck from online or a magazine or children's book. Then cut out the duck shapes from the yellow card stock. You can draw beaks, wings and eyes onto your ducks if you want to, and write the invitation information on one side or both. Use square envelopes that are big enough for your invitations to fit into without folding. If you know the gender of the baby, a pink or blue ribbon around the duck's neck adds a colorful touch.
Duck-Themed Scrapbook Invitations
Another easy way to make your own duck invitations is by using scrapbook techniques to create invitations. These will be in a traditional square style, but aside from that there are many interesting choices to be made. Scrapbook techniques add depth and texture to any artwork. You can include the name of the baby or the mom-to-be, or include a picture of the pregnant mom. You can use card stock to cut out some of the words in your invitation as well as for the back. Keep yellow your main theme and, of course, make sure that a yellow duck is prominent in your design.
Store-bought Duck Invitations
If you don't have the time or the creativity to make your own duck invitations, there are many stores that sell duck-themed shower supplies. You can find invitations for every price and level of formality that have ducks as the theme. If you don't have time to wait for an online order to ship, your local party store will probably have duck-themed invitations in stock.
