1. Local Party Supply Stores - This is the most expensive of the options, but probably the best stocked to handle your needs. This is the place where you will be able to get balloons and balloon weights, as well as all the baby shower decorations and paper goods.

2. Dollar Stores - Believe it or not, dollar stores are not just for all those little nick nacks you find around the house anymore. In most dollar store chains, they now have a whole row, if not numerous rows, to party supplies. Streamers, wall hangings and signs available will make great baby shower decorations. Some dollar stores even have balloon services, so you may be able to skip the party supply stores completely!

3. Discount Stores - Although not as pricey as the local party stores, the baby shower decorations you find at these stores may be limited. The big chain discount stores are trying to be something for everyone, which means they can't carry everything. You will be able to find some good deals on baby shower decorations, but probably not everything to make your party great.

4. Online Retailers - You can buy everything on the internet! Streamers, wall signs, wall decorations, and even flowers. The only thing that would be difficult would be the helium balloons...wait, you can get the balloons and a mini, personal helium tank, too! The only thing to remember when buying online is you need to leave plenty of time for shipping!

I hope these ideas show you that you have options when purchasing baby shower decorations. Shop early so you can enjoy the party date when it arrives.
