Dad baby shower decorations.

The theme of the Dadchelor party you are planning often dictates the decorations.  Take a moment to plan before you shop so that you have a good idea of what decorations are needed, and then make choices that amplify the theme.  If personalization is available, take advantage of it.  From a sports themed baby shower to an outdoor barbeque, focus on well placed decorations that make a big statement...balloons, banners, etc.
