Baby Shower Cupcakes Cakes

Cheap Baby Shower Ideas?
I am going to Florida in Feb for my Baby Shower by that time Ill be 6 months so my husband and I are going to be driving from Montana to FL! it will be a lot cheaper then flying since tickets flying from Montana are outrageously expensive.Any who he and I are going to be on a tight budget my mother is going to have the baby shower at her house, so we were thinking about maybe a BBQ kind of baby shower instead of catering.
Do you think baking cupcakes would be better than ordering a cake? any ideas on how to stay cheap lol
Im not paying for much and besided im planning out the baby shower with my mother I just need cheap ideas.
and also the only reason why Im planning is because My mother wants what I want. She asks me what I want and the only thing Ill pay for is baking the Cup Cakes.
Publix makes the yummiest butter cream icing, and they have cute cakes for a reasonable price. I would definitely do the BabyQ (take advantage of our wonderful FL weather) and order a cake from the local Publix (it’s our local grocery store).
PS BabyQ’s are all the rage down here. We just had one in May!
I’m having a MaterniTea Party for my shower! Tea and Cookies and Finger Sandwiches!
