Common Questions
- How much does a baby shower cost?
- A typical baby shower costs $500-$2,000 depending on guest count, venue, and food. Home showers with 15-20 guests average $300-$800. Venue rentals, catering, and elaborate decorations drive costs up. The host (usually a friend or family member, not the parents-to-be) typically covers expenses.
- When should you have a baby shower?
- Baby showers are typically held between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy, with the sweet spot around 32 weeks. This is late enough that the gender is known (if desired) and the pregnancy is well-established, but early enough that the mother-to-be is still comfortable attending.
- Who pays for a baby shower?
- Traditionally, the host (a close friend, sister, or family member) pays for the shower. It's increasingly common for costs to be split among co-hosts. The expectant parents should not host or fund their own shower. Registry gifts are separate from shower hosting costs.
