Let’s have a look at 5 ways through which you can not only save money on your wedding shower but also enjoy it completely and make lifelong memories.

Save Money on Food
You should definitely treat your friends and closed ones with quality food but celebrating your bridal shower in a restaurant might get too heavy on your budget.

This will make your dinner table full of different items and also save your money that you otherwise might have spent on catering or paying a big bill in a restaurant.
Homemade Decorations and Games
Opt for homemade decoration rather than buying readymade from the market as they can be very expensive. Apart from saving on expenses, making the decorative items by yourself in the company of your friends can turn out to be a fun and exciting activity. You can reuse white Christmas lights for decorating your place and get balloons of different colors to cover up space. If you have already purchased some of the decorative items for your wedding, you can use them on your bridal shower as well. You can also opt for designing some homemade games for making your party more enjoyable to cut down on the fees entertainment fees.
Cocktail
Entertain your guests with some special signature cocktails rather than hiring bartends and getting a large number of different drinks for your guests. It will help in giving your party a unique and distinct flavor while cutting down on the cost as well.
Say No to Event Planners
Event planners may give you an organized and entertaining bridal shower party but with little helps from your friends and family; you can create the same ambiance and organize an eventful and entertaining party. Planning and organizing your own party will help you in adding a personalized touch to your party. It may require some extra effort on your part but doing this will definitely save you a lot of money.
