Hosting a baby shower is so fun, yet the expenses can add up with invites, food, gifts, games and more. There are some great ways to save money and still have it a great success. Here are a few ideas you can follow to save money while you plan a baby shower.
- Use Electronic Invitations. We live in a digital age, so use it to your advantage. There are great sites like Evite that you can use to create an invitation for FREE and then email it out to your list of friends and family. You can also make an event on Facebook and invite people that way all for FREE.
- Delegate the Work. Chances are when you are hosting a shower, there will many others who want to help. Let them! Delegate a few food items or games to others. That way you aren’t buying everything.
- Use Items You Have on Hand. I always do this when I’m hosting a party or shower. This time of year is great for flowers that you may have growing outside your own home. Cut them and make a cute arrangement. That’s a totally free thing you can do to make your home decorated for the shower. You could also grab plates, utensils, cups and more that you may already have. You could also ask those that are helping out if they have decorations as well.
- Shop the Sales. For the food be aware of what is on sale that week and plan your menu according to what is on sale. Instead of fruits or desserts that may have cost a lot more that are not on sale, buy those items that are on sale and save money.
