Planning a beautiful baby shower without breaking the bank? With a few clever rental choices and creative touches, you can throw a stunning outdoor celebration right here in Central Florida—without maxing out your credit card.

🌿 Choose the Right Location (Free is Key!)

Skip pricey venues and opt for backyards, parks, or community spaces. These spots are usually free or low-cost and offer plenty of space for guests, games, and gifts. Just make sure you have permission if it’s a public space—and that it allows rentals like tents or tables.

🪑 Rent Only What You Need

Instead of buying decor or scrambling for seating, rent just the essentials to keep costs down:

10x20 Tent – Great for shade and weather protection
White Folding Chairs – Affordable, clean, and easy to set up
6ft Tables – Perfect for food, gifts, and diaper cake displays
Table Linens – Skip the store and rent your color scheme instead

Renting ensures everything matches, arrives clean, and gets picked up afterward—no extra work for the host!

🎉 Go DIY With Decor & Games

Pinterest is your best friend here. Create centerpieces with dollar-store vases and flowers, or make a balloon arch using a DIY kit. Set up a clothesline to display baby onesies and bibs guests can sign or decorate. For entertainment, keep it classic with games like:

“Guess the Baby Food”
“Mom or Dad?” trivia
Onesie painting station

Pair your DIY flair with smart rentals to create a memorable vibe without the price tag.

🍰 Keep Food Simple (and Sweet!)

Go for brunch or light bites instead of a full meal. Think mini sandwiches, fruit skewers, and cupcakes instead of a cake. If you’re expecting heat, consider a cooling fan rental or a drink dispenser station to keep guests comfortable.
