A inexpensive shower for a new bride is to invite guest to bring a
dish with the recipe taped to the dish. The guest eat the food and the
bride gets the dishes and recipes.
Another inexpensive way to toss a shower is to buy cheese, crackers
and thin sliced lunch meats. Have your kids roll the lunch meats, cut
the cheeses plain or into shapes. Have crackers, tea, coffee and soda.
To decorate the shower use pictures of her and her future husband when
they were growing up.
My neice was married last November, it seemed everytime I turned
around someone was having some sort of a shower for her. I was going
broke buying her gifts. So I ended up printing out recipes and budget
tips.
Saved me money and hopefully someday she will learn from the
budget tips.
Hope these ideas help.
