You don't have to spend money to have a baby shower.. I mean it's kind to feed guest and do prizes with the games but who says you have to? Just get together and celebrate the life of the new baby. And just go the cheapest route,  some finger foods and drinks. Baby showers only last a few hours. Dollar store has baby shower Ganges too. (:

No problem and you shouldn't have to stress about all that planning and stuff, it's not good for the baby so my advice to you is I wouldn't even worry about a baby shower ...
Your family should want to take care of that for you but if your like me, my family didn't so I was like whatever I'm pregnant and the last thing I feel like doing is trying to throw myself my own baby shower and waste all this money and time on it.
Probably half the ppl I would've invited wouldn't of shown up so it just would've been a total waste lol. I know some ppl always want a baby shower, especially with their first. But I am happy with my decision to not have one lol ... Way to much energy for us pregnant woman to try to put together ourselves and I'm sure when you deliver ppl will still bring you little gifts :)
Sorry for writing a book haha ... I just know exactly how ya feel lol.

I decided not to have a baby shower cuz me and my hubby would've had to pay for the whole thing which I figured would be pointless bcuz as much money I spent on putting the baby shower together 1. I probably would not even get tht many gifts worth how much I spent on the shower and 2. Why waste money spending it on a shower when you can save it for you baby ...
Personally I wouldn't waste my time or energy .. You shouldn't have to do all tht planning and all tht anyways normally ppl like family do a baby shower for you ...
That never happened for me so I just didn't have one.
