Hi everyone 😂

I somehow volunteered (or got volunteered lol) to plan a baby shower/gender reveal for my friend… and now I’m realizing I have ZERO clue where to even begin.

Like… do people start with the theme? The food? The games? The balloons that somehow cost more than rent?? 😭

I want it to be cute, fun, and memorable without accidentally creating a full-time event planning job for myself.

For those who’ve planned one before:

• What should I prioritize first?
• What’s actually worth spending money on?
• What are things people think they need but really don’t?
• Any games/activities that guests actually enjoy?
• Any planning checklists or timelines that saved your sanity?

Basically please share your wisdom before I end up panic-buying 200 tiny blue and pink decorations at 2am 😂

Thanks in advance! ❤️
