Throwing a baby shower for a friend or family member is a ton of fun, and it doesn?t have to break the bank. In fact, throwing a baby shower can be really affordable with a little planning and creative thinking.
1. Think fresh: the food should be healthy and light, focus on fruits and light pastries. You don?t need to serve a meal or alcohol, making this one of the least taxing types of parties in terms of food cost. You can also ask attendees to help by bringing a favorite baked dish or sliced fruit.
2. Take the cake: instead of paying a pretty penny for a custom iced cake, make an alternative treat like homemade cake pops or cupcakes?they?re fairly easy, and may even taste better than something made at your local bakery. You?ll save some money and maybe have to taste samples during the process. (Oh, well?)
3. ?Favor? creativity: stuck on what to send guests home with? A fun a creative baby shower favor is a custom calendar magnet highlighting the little one?s due date (or birth date, if it?s after the fact!) so everyone can count down the days till the much anticipated arrival!
4. Be Whimsical: Baby showers should be fun, creative, and are the perfect opportunity for a little whimsy. Forget all the pre-packaged, cartoon-character covered decorations and expensive ?IT?S A BOY!? banners. Instead, opt for delicate decorations focusing on natural elements (flowers) and handmade pieces (paper chains, etc).
At the end of the day, it?s about the new little baby that will be joining the world, so highlight the importance of mom and baby to everyone there?save time for guests to share well wishes after presents are opened. Baby shower games can be fun, but don?t let them distract from the celebration or become cumbersome to guests and the mom-to-be.
