Invitations:

Invitations are so fun, it’s a little sneak peak of what your party is going to be all about! There’s many different ways to do invitations: evites, hand held invitations, Facebook events, etc. I love a handheld invitation because it feels more personal & special! These Assorted Duck Blank Note Cards are a great option for a handheld invitation! You can add your own twist on what you want to say in each invitation. Once you have completed each invitation, be sure to seal it with the Mallard Duck Stickers, which can also double as party favors for the children!

• Assorted Duck Blank Note Cards (20 Invitations Total/10 Different Designs/4" x 5.12"/Includes Envelopes)

• Mallard Duck Stickers (500 Count)

Decorations:

This is the key to making the party lively! Decorating is what I enjoy the most. The beauty of decorating is that even small changes can turn a regular area into a special event space!

Whenever I organize an event, I ensure there is a themed backdrop in place for capturing the unforgettable moments through photographs! For this theme specifically I recommend using these Brown Tinsel Foil Curtains. There are Dark Green Tinsel Foil Curtains as well if you're not digging the brown ones! In my opinion, the brown color is a good choice to mimic the color of a field! If you really want to change it up, I recommend using this super cool Camo Netting as a backdrop as well. You can hang this Mallard Duck Banner along the front of the backdrop!

Balloon arrangements are a great way to cover a large space without breaking the bank! These Assorted Green & Beige Balloons are a great start to your balloon arrangement. Add an Olive Green Number Balloon to your balloon arrangement for a cool twist! It will totally change up the shape dynamics and make it stand out. Make sure to place these arrangements both next to the backdrop and at the entrance of the event space!

These Duck Themed Hanging Ceiling Decorations really take your party to the next level! When decorating for an event, I like to place these decorations between room entrances or on a wall in a secondary space within the venue. This area may not be the main party space, but guests often wander in to find seating and enjoy the atmosphere!

To all the proud parents and grandparents out there celebrating a baby's first birthday, can you believe how time flies? My little girl is almost turning one, and I'm just blown away by how fast it's all gone! There is a Duck 'One' High Chair Tassel Garland available as well as these really cute Beige 'ONE' Letter Balloons. There is also the 'One Lucky Duck' Banner as well!

Start by setting up your tables with these Dark Green Disposable Table Cloths. To give your tables a finishing touch, add these Mallard Duck Table Centerpieces. Just alone these two items, can really change up the space!

Tableware:

There's many different ways to add in touches of this theme through the use of tableware items!

A great way to do this is sticking with the color palette, it really can bring the whole party together! These Sage Green Paper Cups, Sage Green Paper Plates, Scalloped Checkered Napkins and Dark Green Plastic Silverware are a perfect place to start!

Another option is using elements based around your theme. Considering that ducks are an outdoor animal, this Wooden Cupcake Stand is an ideal choice for this birthday party. Also when buying anything for parties or events, I try to buy items that i can reuse at a later time.

Everyone loves a sweet treat at a birthday party. Cupcakes are a perfect and an easy option! Whether you make or use store bought cupcakes, consider adding these adorable Mallard Duck Cupcake Toppers on top. Be sure to display these cupcakes on that wooden cupcake stand!

If you are a parent or grandparent of a one-year-old, you'll find this Mallard Duck 'One' Cake Topper absolutely adorable! You don't need an elaborate cake for this topper to shine; a simple one will work perfectly. This is especially important if you plan to let the baby enjoy the cake – keeping it plain is the way to go, nothing too extravagant! You can add a Dark Green Number 1 Candle if you want, please just make sure to keep an eye on the baby!

Activities/Party Favors:

When hosting any party or event, I always try to have some sort of entertainment for the guests, especially if a majority of your guest are children.

I searched and searched through different rental companies to see how much each inflatable was to rent and to see if it was even worth it. Most companies rental price was between $100-$300 for a few hours, they would come and set it up and do everything for it. Which all in all sounded great but still pretty expensive so then I looked into buying one of my own; sounded crazy at first but once I looked into the long term use of one, it so became worth it. I recently bought this White Castle Bounce House for my kid's birthday parties and events and it was 100% worth every penny. Within minutes of setting it up, I had hours of entertainment for my kids. We have used it at both of their birthday parties as well as just at home on the weekends! It been super easy to set up and put away. I plugged it in and it was fully up and running within 10 minutes. After a few hours you just wipe down any surface to keep it clean, unplug it, allow it to deflate, fold it up and store it away for your next event! To me, the setup and cleaning did not compare to the cost of renting one every time. If you're thinking about having a bounce house at your event, don't forget to add two balloon arrangements on either side of the bounce house!

A more affordable party activity is having a pinata. Consider this Green Number '1' Pinata as a great option! Watching kids try to break open the pinata is always a hit. It creates a fun and memorable experience for both the kids and adults.

Party favors are an excellent way to thank your guest for attending the party. I love putting together little goodie bags for the guests! Both these 'One Lucky Duck' Party Bags and these Assorted Green Gift Boxes are perfect for kids to put their pinata candy and some extra treats in. When deciding what to include in the party favor gift box or bag, I always make sure to add a snack and an activity! I personally would combine these Mallard Duck Stickers, Kids Toy Binoculars, Bubbles, and these delicious GoGo SqueeZes Applesauce Pouches into their goodie bags. They all pair well together with the theme and are on the more practical end for party favors!

• White Castle Bounce House (White/8.3'Lx 7.9'W x 9'H)

• Green Number '1' Pinata (20" x 16" x 4")

• 'One Lucky Duck' Party Bags (16 Count/8.3"L x 5.9"W x 3.1"H)

• Assorted Green & Cream Gift Boxes (24 Count/6"L x 3.5"W x 3.5"H)

• Mallard Duck Stickers (500 Count)

• Kids Toy Binoculars (16 Count/4.3"x 4.1")

• Green Bubbles Set (48 Count/3 oz each)

• GoGo SqueeZ Applesauce Pouches (20 Count/3.2 oz each)

And just like that, you have a fully planned out 'One Lucky Duck' birthday party! From the customizable invitations to the balloon arrangements to the guest party favor bags, it's the perfect party! Now it's time to set up and get this party started! If you decide to go with this theme, I hope you and your guest enjoy it!
