However, I had 8 WONDERFUL women through me the shower. I can't imagine that it cost them more than about $50-75 each. Probably lower than that b/c my food was from Sam's and most of the girls who threw it had their own trade. EX:One is a baker, one has a sister who is a florist, one is a graphic designer and created my invitations. Just a few examples of how they all worked together. It was a fabulous time and the decorations weren't over board. And they rented our clubhouse in our neighborhood. <br /><br />I know my friends and even myself are extremely thrifty;however, we definitely know how to throw a party. It was just perfect and they didn't go overboard with stuff everywhere. They made it about my friends and me, not the decorations or overdoing the food. <br /><br />There are ways to have a fabulous shower without going to extremes. And it's about the people you share it with, not all the GAMES, FOOD, and DECORATIONS. A little moderation of it all is just perfect!!J&J Hofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397991861644775018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493098289812173724.post-59751782498545954142011-01-24T12:48:48.397-06:002011-01-24T12:48:48.397-06:00My shower was hosted by three friends at one of th...My shower was hosted by three friends at one of their homes. It certainly didn't cost $500! There was a cake, and some yummy food (I think bought at costco!), and lots of my girlfriends and family and we sat around laughing at baby stories, cooing at gifts and outfits, and enjoying each others' company. No silly games, no crazy-expensive invitations (I don't know for sure, but I'd guess they were bought at Target and printed on my hostesses' computer.). The whole point of a shower isn't to spend boo-koo money, it's to celebrate the impending arrival of a new person!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219837807035828136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493098289812173724.post-3518497763335540672011-01-24T12:31:49.573-06:002011-01-24T12:31:49.573-06:00I spent $500 for my baby shower.

Since she flew in from Florida just to host a baby shower and help paint the nursery, we paid for the food and drinks.<br /><br />The best part was sharing our favorite foods with our close friends. Yes, there was 50-ish people in our house, but half of them were children since we invited full families. Our baby shower truly ended up being like any other gathering with the added bonus of baby gifts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
