Food should be planned according to the time of day your shower is held. A luncheon can be salads and quiche. If the shower is to include couples, consider an outdoor cookout. Decorations can be found around your home or borrow items from other guests. If you decide to order flowers, shop around for the best deal.
Supermarkets sometimes offer lower prices on flower arrangements.
Party favors for each guest must also be included in figuring your budget and don't forget prizes for any games you plan to play. If you need accessories for the games, add these as well. Not to be overlooked is the cost of your gift to the happy mother. You may decide, if you are hosting the shower alone, that this is your gift to her. All Rights Reserved.
