Baby showers are sweet celebrations
for friends and families to share, and you can make it fun without emptying
your savings account. With creative party planning and advanced prep, you and can
host an endearing and enjoyable baby shower. Plan an affordable baby shower by
keeping the following tips in mind:
Creative Invitations Don't overspend on extravagant
invitations when you can send digital invitations through an online service.
Customize a pink "It's a Girl" floral invitation or charming
yellow-and-blue elephant invitation on Evite.com. For vintage and retro themes,
visit PaperlessPost.com. Also, by going paperless, you'll be going green. With
online invitation, guests can RSVP by clicking yes or no and then link to a
gift registry.
Frugal dining You can still have a lovely shower
without a fancy restaurant or renting a hall. An intimate baby shower at home
can be just as beautiful and charming, and comfortable.
While planning the baby shower menu,
include the guest of honor's favorites and foods that will please the palates
of friends and family. To save even more money, plan a potluck theme. Loved
ones will be delighted to show off a specialty dish or delicious dessert.
Blueberry breakfast cake or bacon cheddar scones are delicious and impressive main
dishes that will impress your guests' taste buds.
Tasteful decorations As you prep and decorate for the
shower, budget for the essentials and then focus on main items. Plan for basic
party supplies, such as plates, napkins and cups. Don't go overboard with
decorations—a few simple and elegant baby shower favours from a party store can create a simple but festive
atmosphere. As far as activities, there are some fun and tasteful baby shower
games on websites such as pregnant.thebump.com that will keep everyone engaged.
Make sure that you have some prizes available to give away.
A cake made with love Your simple and elegant baby shower
should also have a simple and elegant cake. You don't have to pay a small
fortune from a boutique bakery, either. If you know someone who is a great
baker, see if she would like to do this as her gift to the mom-to-be. You will
be surprised at how quickly people enjoy showing off their talents. Choose a
flavor of cake and frosting and two or three colors you would like the cake to
be (probably to match your decorations). This will be a day that she will never
forget.
