  • Rooftop Terraces – City Skyline Views. If you love the idea of throwing a baby shower on a rooftop but find bars and restaurants don't have the exact vibe you'd like, why not take the party to a rooftop patio of a building, warehouse, library, or museum? They're all great venues that offer stunning views and a fun atmosphere for your guests, all without a hefty price tag.

  • Private Backyards – Intimate Atmosphere. Modern houses with poolside backyards, beachfront villas, or mansions with lush lawns are the ideal destination for private parties. And with indoor spaces available, you won’t need a backup plan if the weather changes—just move the celebration indoors and keep the fun going, no matter what!

  • Cozy Cafes Laid-Back Gatherings. Cafes, coffee shops, and coffee houses are among the top baby shower venues in Chicago, and it's not hard to see why. You get to enjoy a cozy atmosphere, freshly baked pastries, and all sorts of coffee and tea without spending a fortune.

  • Serene Gardens One With Nature. Want to treat the new parents to a few hours of vitamin D, fresh air, and some peace and quiet? Make it an afternoon tea in one of Giggster's botanical gardens, parks, and mansions with beautifully manicured lawns and affordable prices.

  • Loft Studios – Flexible Spaces. With their open layouts, unique atmosphere, and plenty of natural light, loft studios are easily some of the best event spaces for baby shower parties on a budget. Take advantage of the neutral backdrop to decorate the space as you wish.

Planning an Affordable Baby Shower in Chicago

Planning someone else's event often requires more effort than managing your own. And even though you're planning on a tight budget, you still need to go through the planning process with care to make sure it meets the expectations of the new parents and their guests.

Set Your Budget Planning a baby shower with a limited budget can be a real challenge. There are many ways to throw an amazing party without overspending, such as creating a budget from the get-go. Plus, close family members or friends will likely want to pitch in, so you won't have to handle everything on your own.

Keep It Small Baby showers are intimate celebrations that should remain with the closest friends and family. Create the guest list with the new mom-and-dad-to-be to make sure everyone they want to be there is included.

Go Light on Food Like most parties, baby showers revolve around food. The difference here is that you can easily serve finger food and light bites, pastries, and drinks like coffee and tea for a more relaxed vibe, all the while staying within your budget.

Keep It Fun No matter if you're hosting in a cafe, a private home, or outdoors, you want to keep guests up on their feet, be it for mingling or dancing. Plan baby shower games and activities, or hire a band or a DJ for a more electrifying atmosphere.

How to Save Money for a Truly Affordable Baby Shower in Chicago

Want to know if it's possible to host a baby shower on a budget? You bet! Take an example from these money-saving tips to make every dollar count.

Book a smaller space.

In most cases, smaller event venues such as cafes, studios, speakeasies, and function rooms come at a lower cost. In addition, choosing a location away from the city center can help you cut down expenses even more.

Be mindful of the date.

The majority of parties happen on weekends when everyone is off work and looking to unwind after a long week. However, weekend parties also tend to be more expensive. If you're not set on a date, consider throwing the baby shower on a workday, preferably in the morning, afternoon, or early evening, for maximum savings.

Skip the DJ.

Baby showers are so special on their own that they can be enjoyed with chatting and fun games only. There's no need for expensive performers when you have a crowd eager to join in with trivia, diaper competitions, lawn games, or baby bingo.
