Ideas for a fun Baby Shower on a budget?
I have to throw a Baby Shower for my best friend. I’m on a budget but I dont want it to completely suck. What are some creative and fun games/activities we can do?
Also, is it rude to not serve alot of food at a baby shower (we’re thinking a cake, some sandwhiches, chips, and a few side dishes, I dont want to spend my entire budget on the food.)
I am very thrifty when it comes to having parties!
first- buy all your food at Aldi, it’s so much cheaper and its still quality food. You don’t have to make tons of food or expensive things- just make sure to have enough for everyone. Finger sandwiches and chips is great for food, you can cut up the sandwiches pretty and put a toothpick with a cherry tomato or olive on it for a fancier look. maybe a pasta salad also, veggie tray, deviled eggs, taco dip is always the first to go at my parties, little weenies in a crock pot- whatever you want! make a batch of punch to serve instead of loading up on soda. here’s a good punch recipe I find very refreshing- mix one jug mixed juice orange/pineapple/bannana- one frozen concentrate of OJ- and one 2 liter of ginger ale- you can put the punch in a inexpensive baby bath and float a rubber duckie in it for a great look (plus it’s a extra gift for the mom-to-be!)
get all your decorations from the dollar store- they have ton’s of cute baby stuff now- centerpieces, garlands, paper plates and napkins, plastic silverware, streamers, and helium balloons.
right now is a great time to find some prizes for the games too- either pick some stuff up from the dolalr store or head to regular stores and hit up their clearance areas for some bargains- Christmas stuff is on sale- get whatever you know you would like to recieve- candles, wash cloths, shampoos, whatever!
one game I think is really fun is “Guess Mommys Tummy Size”. have each guest cut off a piece of string to the size she thinks her tummy is (don’t let them get to close to her to try and measure it!) then mommy walks around and everyone measures up to see who’s the closest in string length- you only need sissors and some string or ball of yarn.
another good one is baby bingo- make up a bingo sheet and have each guest write down any baby item they want in each square (ex:rattle, bottle, blanket) then as mommy is opening her gifts they check off the items as she recieves them and say first three to get bingo(or how ever many you want) get a prize.
the “guess the candy” one is a good one I do all the time also, it’s just time consuming counting all the candy! Pass it around to everyone and let them write down thier guess. you can get a jar and candy from the dollar store also.
another one is a word scramble game, just mix up baby related words and guests unscramble them. (I have one saved on my computer, if you send me your direct email address I can forward it over to you.)
I like to find a big basket or doll cradle to put all the prizes in, looks real cute.
Have fun!
