We’ve searched Etsy and Pinterest and every site in between to bring you budget friendly ideas for all aspects of your sure-to-be-epic baby shower.

The Games
"Forbidden Baby" is a particularly fun game. As the guests arrive, give each one a diaper pin and let them kmow the word "baby" is off-limits. If someone catches you saying "baby" they take your pin. Whoever has the most pins wins.
We also like "Guess the Baby." Have each guest bring a baby pictures of themselves and put them up on the wall. Have everyone guess who is who. You'll be surprised at how entertaining this game can become.
The Sips and Bites
Don’t forget the libations! Set out a punch bowl with Sprite mixed with rainbow sherbet or blue and pink lemonade in drink dispensers or pitchers. If your guests are looking for something boozy, try a sangria or rum punch to liven up the mood.
Remember, planning the perfect party doesn’t mean you have to spend outside your means. Get crafty and have fun with it because celebrating new life coming into the world is the best party you’ll ever host!
