This was often the maid of honor (MOH), with contributions from the bridal party. <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emilypost.com\/advice\/shower-etiquette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bridal shower etiquette<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggested the bride\u2019s mother or mother-in-law shouldn\u2019t host, as this was in bad form. However, as times change and traditions shift, so does the opportunity to create a celebration that\u2019s authentically yours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who Pays for a <\/b><b>Bridal Shower<\/b><b> Now?<\/b><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_18719\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18719\" class=\"wp-image-18719 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Simple-Gradient-Invitation-3.jpg\" alt=\"Simple Gradient Invitation\" width=\"400\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Simple-Gradient-Invitation-3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Simple-Gradient-Invitation-3-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Becky Nimoy Stationery<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s still often the host that covers most of the costs of the bridal shower, although the host can now be anyone in the bride-to-be\u2019s life. The maid of honor, a bridesmaid, the bride\u2019s parents, the soon-to-be in-laws, or a close friend are all great options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we still look at the bride as the guest of honor at the event (as they should be!), more and more couples are choosing to pay for the bridal shower or co-host a wedding shower themselves. We love the contemporary alternative of a wedding shower, as shown in this <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/invitations\/simple-gradient\/black\/bridal-shower\">beautiful photo invitation<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which celebrates the happy couple together as they embark on this exciting new journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Much Does a <\/b><b>Bridal Shower<\/b><b> Cost?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every bridal shower is unique, and some people spend a larger amount of their budget on them while others lean towards being low- to no- cost. The amount you pay will vary depending on whether you rent a venue or host at home and whether you bring in caterers or supply your own food and drink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weddings.costhelper.com\/bridal-shower.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>cost of food<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a bridal shower from a mid-range restaurant will be between $15 and $40 per head. So with an average of 30 guests, you could be looking at $450-$1,200 for the food. (More elaborate catering could run up to $150 per person.) On top of that, you\u2019d need to factor in the cost of decorations, favors, entertainment, and possibly a venue rental fee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>7 Ways to Save Money on Planning a <\/b><b>Bridal Shower<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs are rising all the time, and wedding events attract a premium price. If you\u2019re in charge of planning a bridal shower for someone special, here\u2019s how to make your funds go further.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Set a Budget<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start buying party decorations and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/bridal-shower-favor-ideas\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>bridal shower favors<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, sit down and figure out what your budget for the event is. Have a rough idea of whether you can afford to go all-out on the details or whether you should look for DIY alternatives to those eye-catching floral displays you\u2019ve seen on Pinterest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re also in charge of organizing other pre-wedding events, like the rehearsal dinner or bachelorette party, find a way to keep your planning as simple as possible. Ask the bride if there\u2019s one she\u2019d prefer you spend more of your time (and budget) on, or if she\u2019s happy to combine events or even host a wedding shower with her partner. These decisions might influence your overall budget and spending decisions for the shower.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Decide Where to Save vs. Splurge<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing a budget and planning a wedding shower or bridal shower comes with plenty of decision-making. You\u2019ll be in charge of everything from finding the right venue to deciding which centerpieces to use. Make a list of areas you\u2019re happy to dedicate budget to and other areas that are less important to you (and the guest of honor).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might decide to host an incredible dining experience for the bride-to-be, where most of the budget is spent on hiring a private room in a restaurant and less on bridal shower decorations. Alternatively, you can host the party at home with handmade decorations and dedicate more of your budget to hiring an entertainer or a food truck.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Plan a Smaller Event<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bridal showers might typically have around 30 guests, but there\u2019s no reason your guest list has to be that size. If you\u2019re finding it hard to make your budget work, consider whether you can reduce your headcount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the list small and only invite immediate family members and close friends of the bride-to-be, along with her bridal party. Not only will the event feel cozy, but it\u2019s a useful way to save money and re-route those funds to something else \u2014 like a stunning <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/bridal-shower-gift-ideas\">bridal shower gift<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Go the <\/b><b>DIY<\/b><b> Route<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An easy way to save money on wedding planning of any kind is to try a DIY approach. This works for not just bridal shower decorations but a whole host of other elements too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for printable <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/bridal-games\">bridal shower games<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can play, instead of bringing an entertainer in. Create your own playlist and use a speaker, instead of hiring a DJ. Ask your shower guests to bring a dish for a potluck feast, instead of hiring a caterer. There\u2019s usually a DIY, budget-friendly version of anything wedding-related if you look for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Host at Home<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renting out an event space for the day or even just an afternoon can cost a considerable amount, especially if it\u2019s an in-demand venue. An affordable alternative is to host the bridal shower or wedding shower at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Style your space with decorations, balloons, and lighting to create the right kind of party atmosphere. If your home isn\u2019t set up for a celebration, see if you can use the home of a close family member or the bride\u2019s best friend instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Provide Your Own Catering<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the wedding day itself, bridal shower catering can quickly get expensive. Unless you have a big budget or the bride-to-be has specifically requested it, you can usually save money by providing your own catering instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arrange a delicious brunch with made-from-home favorites like pancakes and french toast. Host a buffet with finger foods and light bites that are quick and easy to prepare ahead of time. Plan an ice cream party or dessert party instead, and serve up store-bought favorites. There are lots of ways to make your budget go further when it comes to food and drink.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Use Digital Invitations<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_18718\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18718\" class=\"wp-image-18718 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/La-Dolce-Vita-Invitation-1.jpg\" alt=\"La Dolce Vita Invitation\" width=\"400\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/La-Dolce-Vita-Invitation-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/La-Dolce-Vita-Invitation-1-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our favorite way to make those funds last longer as the bridal shower host is to switch from paper invites to <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\">digital invitations<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead of paying for expensive bespoke invitations or the supplies to make your own, you can send beautifully designed invites at a fraction of the cost online. Even better, if you want to go digital for multiple invitations, save the dates, or announcements throughout your wedding journey, an annual membership can lead to even more significant cost savings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our digital invites aren\u2019t just a money saver, but they\u2019re also a great alternative for the environment \u2014 perfect if the happy couple is eco-conscious. Plus, you can personalize every design (including this striking <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/invitations\/la-dolce-vita\/blue\/bridal-shower\">Mediterranean-inspired invitation<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) to add the guest of honor\u2019s name and your party details, giving you that bespoke feel without the heavy price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stay Within Budget With Online <\/b><b>Bridal Shower Invitations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning a bridal shower is an honor, but it\u2019s also one that often comes with a big financial commitment. Use the above guide to figure out who should host and who should pay for the bridal shower.
