Tips for hosting a baby shower on a budget

New Week! New Symptoms! This Week Is Acid Reflux I Believe It's Hair Growing Time 🤞🏾 Awakening Earlier Than The Birds Chirping Baby Shower Planning This Is The Hardest Part Because I Don't Honestly Have A Village At All So I'm Basically Purchasing My Own Registry, Hosting And Paying For My Own Shower And It's Probably Only Going To Have Three Guest Attend That's My 5 Year Old, My Brother And I Yes I'm So Stressed That My Pilates Are My Diary At This Point. Wouldn't Wish This On Anyone Just Blessed To Have A Healthy Baby So Far Let's Go March Babies! #Countdown #MarchDueDate

I’m in process of finding a venue for our baby shower in mid Jan. But I’m at a loss for ideas on locations. I don’t want to spend $400 for 2.5 hours for 1 & where I live isn’t exactly highly populated. I am moving here in Dec but the idea of hosting at my house again is detrimental considering all the cleaning before and afterwards, decorating, and the idea of the traffic in my home drives me. Help! Any ideas would be beautiful. Keep in mind January is one of the coldest months here. So outdoors is not at all an option.

My best friend is paying for my baby shower venue and the decorations. I’m so happy because I was so stressed out about my budget and how it just kept expanding. My venue is $2200 and the decorator is asking for 2000 just for the main area decor not including the tables and center pieces 😮‍💨. So now all I have to focus on is food, drinks, DJ and maybe floral arrangements. My best friend really loves me and I feel so blessed especially this being my 4th child.

So I’m wondering.. are you guys planning your own Baby shower/Diaper party, having someone help you, or having someone else plan everything? I have certain things I love and want but have no idea how to plan a baby shower💙 anything helps tips, tricks, and money saving ideas. #babyshower #diaperparty

should i feel bad for not inviting my dad's wife and kids to my baby shower? i gave him the option of having a plus one. the venue i'm having it at only holds up a certain amount and i explained that to him but he got upset and said all of them are a crew and go everywhere together which i understand but i'm on a budget and i at least invited him. he needs to understand that i am not rich lol and besides, he's not even helping throw this shower for me or has does anything to support me my whole life basically, plus i'm not close to his wife, she doesn't like me so why would i want her there?... it's my baby shower, i should have whoever i want there

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and since this is my first set of twins I want to do things differently. I wanna get a 3d,4d,5d ultrasound, I wanna do a belly cast, have a baby shower, a maternity shoot and newborn photo shoot as well. My back is against the wall somedays im all for it and then others I’m like fuck it. Especially the baby shower I tried to give myself a budget and found my guest list and budget ridiculous. I’m afraid we won’t get much what’s needed for the boys as we put in to have one. Any advice??? This is my first set of twins but by fifth pregnancy my husband always says is whatever you want my love.

Ladiesss.. i have a question! So my M.I.L. Is hosting my baby shower & asked me to create an FB group for the baby shower..which i did. We are doing a co-ed baby shower(men and women). So i put my name first and then my husbands but she created like an RSVP page & put my husbands name first and then me… am i being dramatic for thinking she’s being petty??? In my opinion for a baby shower the woman should go first. Give me your thoughts. Im curious to know if you think it’s petty and also if you believe the woman or man’s name should go first?? Or does it matter at all?? 🧐 🤔 i feel like baby showers are mainly for woman so they should go first & I’ve seen invitations where the woman’s name is first…. So that’s just my opinion… i mean there’s no baby shower without the mother lol

Question what is a good limit to spend on a baby shower it’s me and my husband very 1st girl together I have 3 boys I’m extremely excited and I could go over board so ai need a budget from a venue, food, and decor how much should I spend all together

Opinions on doing baby shower or not ? I feel like everything is so expensive now a days even just a simple balloon arrangement. Plus food for guests, decor, game winner prizes, etc. I think I want one but second guessing…

Update : baby shower my mom is hosting it but problem is she wants to invite my dads sister to the shower , she’s been rude to me past years and it’s super disrespectful but I don’t want her there , I don’t know what to do ? #stress
