How do I host a babyshower for my best friend?

Question

Please give me advice if you ever hosted a baby shower? Tysm 🥹
ETA: Do I have to pay for *EVERYTHING*?

Answer

Invite people, choose and put up decorations, buy or make food/snacks, put on some music, pick a few games to play if that’s your thing. It’s as simple as that.

Answer

You and your group of friends pay for everything. You can also talk to her mom maybe and have her and her family pitch in.

Answer

If you offered to host her shower, then yes, you pay for everything to throw the party. Sometimes close family members or friends will ask if they could do anything to contribute, and take them up on their offers.￼ It doesn’t really have to be anything too expensive. If you’re throwing it at your house, then you don’t have to pay for a venue. But you will need to pay for food, which doesn’t have to be expensive. You can just do snacks, Or you can make a tray of pasta with a big tray of salad. Doing that is really inexpensive. or you can find a place that makes platters that are not expensive. A friend of mine ordered platters of stuffed bread and pizza dippers and each platter was enough to feed 50 people for $45 per platter￼.￼ which is a great deal. Then she just made a veggie and dip platter and had some chips and hummus. ￼Then you can just buy some cheap decorations and party favors and prizes for games. It doesn’t have to cost a ton. ￼

Answer

We got all the decorations and games on Amazon, did a nacho bar for food with cookies (I had cookies made for the baby shower theme), and did an Amazon registry and invited pretty much everyone. We had alot of balloons to fill space because they’re cheap and looked cute. I didn’t want anything crazy, but the boyfriends grandma went a little overboard lol.
