Being pregnant can be one of the most exciting times of your life. You’re bringing in a new life in the world, plus you hopefully get to have a baby shower to help get items for your new baby. A regular baby shower can be fun but having a themed baby shower can be even more fun. If you like frogs or know someone who is pregnant that likes frogs, you may want to consider having a frog themed baby shower. This article will give you a few tips on how to do it.
How to Plan a Frog Themed Baby Shower #1: Invitations
For invitations, you can make your own lily pad invitations by buying white poster board and cutting out several lily pad designs (for an example, click here).
