A duck themed baby shower is perfect for couples who are keeping the baby’s gender a big secret. This is one of the cutest gender-neutral themes out there. Simply adding pink or blue to the ornaments will convey the baby’s gender for parents-to-be who already know the gender of their upcoming baby.
Rubber Duck Baby Shower Invitation
Making rubber duck themed baby shower invitations can be a cute and playful way to set the tone for your celebration. Feature an attractive illustration of a rubber duck at the top or center of the invitation with a background that resembles bubbles to create a playful, aquatic feel.
Include a unique header like “Splish Splash, It’s a Baby Bash!” or “Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Time for Baby to Come!” to convey the rubber duck theme.
Rubber Duck Baby Shower Decorations
Throwing a rubber duck themed baby shower offers plenty of opportunities for adorable and playful decorations. The dominant color for decorations for a duck themed baby shower is yellow. If it’s a gender neutral party, you can keep it in different shades of yellow. If the gender is known, add some pink or blue to the decorations.
Entering the Duck Pond
Set up a duck pond in the entryway with blue paper or fabric as the “water” and floating rubber ducks. Make a sign that says “Welcome to the Quack Zone!”
Duckling Clothesline
Hang baby clothes, onesies, and little rubber ducks on a clothesline as part of the decor.
Duck garland
Join the cut-out rubber duck shapes together to create a garland. Hang it on the walls or as a backdrop for the dessert table.

Make a simple diaper cake with yellow polka dot ribbons and a yellow duck plush toy on top. Decorate it with small rubber ducks and other baby essentials and use it as a centerpiece.
Duckling Centerpieces
Making adorable rubber duck baby shower centerpieces can add a charming touch to party decor. You can create a mini duck pond as a centerpiece. Fill a clear glass bowl with blue water and add floating rubber ducks. You can also include water lilies or plants for added visual interest. Another option is to have floral arrangements with cute duck cutouts or rubber ducks attached to them.
Rubber Duck Baby Shower Backdrop
Backdrops can be anything from a large rubber duck poster to handmade streamers.

To make it more interesting, you can challenge everyone to bring duck-themed food. I’m sure they will surprise you with what they do!
