Baby Shower Budget

How much you want to allocate for your Baby Shower budget should be indicated by what you can afford without being stressed.


You can choose to spend around $100 for a simple shower for a dozen guests in your home, or $3000 for a party of 45 guests at the country club.
Don't feel pressured to host a baby shower that is beyond your financial means.  The Baby Shower Kit can show you how to throw a wonderful and successful baby shower without breaking the bank.
If you are having to watch your spending, a few ideas for a lovely baby shower are:

• Work together with a team of women who are your close friends, members of your church or work and share the hostess duties and costs.
• Ask friends and family for favors:  if your friend is a caterer, ask her for a discount; if your brother is a photographer, ask him to take photographs.
• In this way you can have a fancy baby shower on a budget.
• You should also budget your time.  A To Do List will help you stay organized and on track.

Organizing a baby shower should be a fun, exciting event for everyone involved.Click Here!
