So i decided last minute that im going to make my own baby shower. I have 5 weeks until little man makes an appearence so why not. The thing is i have no clue where to do it. Im currently living with my mom (step father and little brother) and my 2 year old. im oretty much broke. My husband and i are seperated right now on a trial basis so id be doing this alone. He sends me money but its not nearly enough seeing as i dont work right now. Any suggestions on what i should do? should i just do a small shindig in my moms apartment? idk
I hosted (with moms help) my own shower in my house. We bought few decorations and invited quite a bit of people because half never shows anyway. Invite those that will come and bring what baby needs. Get creative and make decorations or just leave that part out. Let people help u. Don't be afraid to ask. Let your 2 year old make some creative decorations for baby. :) stay simple with chips, punch and sandwiches. Make your own cake. The shower is mainly about baby. I know some elaborate but no need to as long as you get what you want. 😊
@mrs.n2014 @my3babies thank you guys so much. i guess i just blanked. its been hard on my own as of late.
ok well yes i agree with trying to find a small place and gather up family. or see what your family members could do to help you out. i think something should work as long as everyone are willing to put there minds together
I would say do something small with close friends/family at ur moms apt or even opting for brunch at a nice restaurant. Everyone can order there own food so u dont have to spend on that. Call ahead to reserve some tables
@my3babies its not really huge or anything but the livingroom and dinning room flow into the other and are bug enough for a small gathering. i have some relatives near by that maybe coukd help. no close friends or favorites or anything.
You may be able to rent space from a church or your local community center for a few hours... I know where I live they rent out the community center for like $50 for 4 hours. I would talk to your mom & see if she is up for allowing you to host a small get together for your little one.
you are so welcome i pray everything works out for you girl and ill be looking forward to that beautiful baby and pics of babyshower on whatever you decide. you will be okay dont worry god will provide and make a way he will never leave us or forsake us remember that
