New Budget-Friendly Themes for Baby Showers, First Birthdays, and Bridal Showers

Our New Budget-Friendly Baby Shower, 1st Birthday, and Bridal Shower Themes

Here at PartyPail we’re constantly looking for ways to increase our product line so that our customers find exactly what they want. We expanded from selling baby shower decorations to also include products for people’s other important life celebrations: from Christenings to first birthdays, and on into adulthood with bridal showers, adult birthday parties, and more! We’ve always provided all of our products at the absolute lowest costs we possibly can afford to, but lately we’ve been focusing a bit more on stocking items in a variety of prices to make sure we have something that fits all of our customers’ budgets.

We’ve added higher end luxury items from Melissa & Doug, C.R. Gibson, and Mud Pie in recent months, but our latest new additions are specifically for people who want to throw great looking celebrations without spending a fortune. This week, we introduced our Plaid Baby Girl and Plaid Baby Boy baby shower themes (pictured above), plus 1st Blue Dots boy’s first birthday and 1st Pink Dots girl’s first birthday theme and the Celebrate Diamonds bridal shower theme.

All five of these new themes have dinner and dessert plate 8-packs for only $1.29, as well as beverage and lunch napkin 16-packs for $1.29. To tie the whole thing together, these themes also have matching tablecovers available for only–you guessed it–$1.29.

These themes are perfect for when you’re throwing a party with a lot of guests, since you can set a lot of places at the table at an affordable overall cost. You can set a table for eight with plates, napkins, and a tablecover to protect your table for less than $4.00, so just imagine how much the savings pile up if you’re throwing an event for 80 people… or 180!

Another great thing about our new themes is how versatile they are, and how many of our other products match perfectly and can be used to fill out these themes. Whether you choose to use solid colored supplies to complete your décor or want to mix and match with our other themes, there are plenty of options. Here are some of our recommended decorating ideas for these themes:

1. Plaid Baby Girl matches pretty much anything pink, but our Tiny Toes Pink theme also has a number of great products to mix and match with. It also features cute, pink little baby feet, so it ties right in, but also introduces a few other colors, like brown and lavender. This opens the door to even more matching solids and a much larger number of other pieces that can be incorporated into your shower, but doesn’t deviate too far from your primary theme since the focus is still on the feet!
2. Plaid Baby Boy works beautifully with the Tiny Toes Blue theme, and much like the Plaid Baby Girl/Tiny Toes Pink combination, this combo allows you to introduce a few more colors to the Plaid Baby Boy theme, but still keeps the focus on the adorable baby feet. Try mixing in the Tiny Toes Blue invitations, cups, and balloons with the plates, napkins, and tablecover from Plaid Baby Boy theme to create a beautiful, complete baby shower.
3. 1st Blue Dots boy’s first birthday theme is a bright theme that’s perfect for a little boy’s first birthday, and the bold colors and fun design make it easy to mix and match with a number of solid colors or other themes. Try choosing bright red, Bermuda Blue, and Lime Green balloons, cutlery, and streamers to brighten up the entire room. You can also match items from our Sweet Little Cupcake boy theme, which also features blues and greens and dots all over!
4. Our 1st Pink Dots girl’s first birthday party theme and our Sweet Little Cupcake girl’s 1st birthday theme are a match made in heaven! Both theme feature bright (and we mean bright!) pink, purple, and green prominently, and polka dots tie the whole thing together. Use the budget-conscious plates, napkins, and tablecover from the 1st Pink Dots theme and mix in decorations and other supplies from the Sweet Little Cupcake theme for a fun and adorable first birthday party for your little one! One more tip: mix in some solid-colored items from the accent colors for a really fun effect!
5. Our newest bridal shower theme, Celebrate Diamonds, has so many options that we can’t list them all here! For starters, the teal blue of the diamonds lends the theme very well to mixing and matching with a number of other popular bridal shower themes. Our Mr. and Mrs. To Be theme, Bride To Be Blue and Brown theme, Two Love Birds theme, and The (Almost) Newlywed Game theme all draw on similar blues, so the Celebrate Diamonds theme could be taken in a number of different directions depending on which other theme(s) you want to incorporate items from. Or, if you’d like to play up the silver instead, try mixing in our Silhouette bridal shower decorations, Bridal Dots & Paisley decorations, or I Do Cake Bridal Shower decorations (coming in mid-March). All of these themes can be seen here.Don’t forget to play up the diamond design, too, by having the bride-to-be wear a diamond head band during the shower!Another great thing about the Celebrate Diamonds bridal shower theme is that it has endless possibilities when it comes to the favors. Sticking to the diamond theme, make a great impression by sending your guests home with crystal diamond paperweights, key chains, or bottle stoppers. Silver Buttermints or Jordan Almonds in a Tiffany Blue favor box are a great way to send your guests home happy as well, as are our Amorini chocolate hearts in silver, blue, and white.

All of these new themes are fun and easy to accessorize with, plus you save a bit of money! Let us know in the comments how you’d use our new budget-conscious baby shower, first birthday, and bridal shower themes!
