Baby Shower Budget

    When planning a party it is so easy to go way over budget. We all tend to get a little over

    excited and spend more than we planned. So how do we stay within out budget? And the

    second question is how much do we spend on each aspect of planning a party?

    Below is a budget guide with a suggested percentage guide on spending your budget. The

    budget plan below is only a guide and different aspects of a party will be more important

    to different people. For example, you may choose to omit decorations and spend more on

    food and alcohol.

    The guide below is suited to a baby shower held in a home. The budget allocation will

    change significantly if you choose to have the baby shower at a restaurant or cafe

    (depending on whether you pay for the bill or choose to split the bill amongst all guests

    equally).

    If you have a small budget, don't worry! Discount stores are one of the best places to

    shop for party goods such as decorations, game prizes and invitations. They carry all

    sorts of fun things and you can pick up supplies for your celebration for just a few dollars.

    Download the printable version and you can use it to enter your budget and change the

    percentages allocated to each task on the party budget. You will be able to calculate

    estimated costs of the party and it will assist you with sticking to your budget.
