The total cost of a baby shower will be between $400 and $800 however this will depend on many things. This includes the venue, size of the guest list, cost of catering, drinks, and decorations.
.
Guest List – The number of guests you have at your party shouldn’t have a huge impact on the cost. You may have to pay more for catering and increase the venue size if inviting more people. The host should work closely with the mum to be on who to invite.
Food and Drinks – Another major cost of a baby shower is the catering. Whether you are celebrating at your own home or at a venue, food and drinks can take up a large part of your budget.
Venue – This will be one of the major costs for any party. In consultation with the mum-to-be, the host will decide on where to hold the baby shower. The choice of the venue will most likely be decided on the budget and the preference of the mum.
Decorations – The decorations shouldn’t be too expensive. And will be put up by the host and close friends. So this won’t have a big impact on the spending of the party. Unless the mum-to-be wants very specific decorations.
