Throw A Bridal Shower On A Budget

Michaela is a good friend of the family and she has started posting deals here to help me out!  Yay!

This weekend she threw an awesome Bridal Shower for some other family friends and today she is going to share it with you!

Throw A Bridal Shower On A Budget

I have some good friends that are getting married and really wanted to throw them a shower, but didn’t want to spend that much.  I was able to throw a great party while not breaking the bank.

Unlike most of the people I know, I made everything for the party except the cupcakes (just because I wanted them to look good.)  I bought all the ingredients and made spinach wraps, veggie trays, fruit trays, cheese dip with chips, and chocolate covered strawberries. 

I starting shopping a week in advance so I could buy non-perishable goods and save them and the week of I bought all the veggies and fruit.  Check out my price match list below:
