Hi I am planning my baby shower as I speak & we are looking to spend around £400 - £220 is for the hall booking which we can have up to 6 hours & the rest is on food & drink

It’s entirely up to you and your budget. It’s like birthday parties and weddings - some people go all out and others are more restrained, but both ways are always lovely!

All depends it’s the halls that bump up the price. I’m not even going to comment on how much mine has cost me. 😂 Also take into consideration the number of guests you will be catering for. Definitely give yourself a budget though either way it will be lovely

Not planning much, just at home with 10-15 ppl
Gonna order cupcakes, drinks, sweet bar
Pretty much is

That money your spending on a baby shower could go towards something you actually need for the baby 🤷🏽♀️ I didn’t have one

It depends on your budget.

Baby Shower at home will always be cheaper than going outside. A lot of people do say spend the money on the baby rather than the shower but for me it’s part of the memory! Get to see people etc You can do everything on a budget! ebay, Amazon! Don’t need to go OTT! I’ve been planning my shower and max spent £250 on everything, decoration, food, cakes etc! if you do need any tips and suggestions comment! X

I spent £140 on the venue (cornered off area of a bar) and food for 12 people (pizza, salad and chips buffet) plus £25 for 12 cupcakes and £100 for decor and bits(bunting, balloons, paper pom poms, games, prizes sign & easel) so around £265 in Total (£22 per head). Guests bought their own drinks x

I have anxiety when there’s a lot of people in my house. I don’t know what it is. I hate mess too.

that is amazing

my fiancé wants one. He wants to celebrate the baby shower and gender reveal together 😩

that's what we're doing! My mom bakes so she's making cupcakes and then everyone's bringing their own drinks. Saves time and money doing it all together

I will be having mine at home with about 35 people so the expenses will be mostly food, drinks and some decoration. I'm hoping not to exceed £100 - £150!

Hi Guys

My older sibling spent 500 on hers and younger sibling 3000
So it really depends
If you want some tips to save money I can send some because a baby shower is not a wedding so you don’t have to spend a lot if you don’t want to.
