My name is on the invitation for helping to give the shower. I didn't know it would be. I feel cheap. I have no money to chip in, but would like to do something. Any creative ideas? I'm thinking about making her a scrapbook of tips from those who attend the shower. Another idea is to write my impending niece a journal. I don't know. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I am sooo excited I'll get to be an auntie again! Thanks in advance.

Helping with the shower means just that. Cleaning, decorating, making food, planning games, buy/shopping for door prizes, etc. I'm sure there are lots of things you can do to help that don't cost much money. Your suggestions make great gift ideas. Perhaps your tip scrapbook can be part of the shower by asking each guest to write down their best baby tip. Good luck and have fun!

I gave my friend a baby shower and I did not have a lot of money to spend on it. This is what I did. Besides on the decor and food I played games which turned out great.
Buy a pack of toilet tissue paper or just 2 large rolls.
Let every guest their pull off as much as they think will go around her belly. Measure each piece around her belly, whoever gets the closest measurment wins the prize.
My prize was a small baby bottle filled with candy (go to the dollar store)

Make centerpieces for the tables.
Get disposable cameras and have people take pictures, get some black and white ones too.
Do some creative games like trivia and give some nice lotion or body splash as a prize.
Bake treats.
Did you ask the sender of the invitations what they would like you do? They may have Ideas too.

Help set up for the party. Blow up balloons, put up the decorations etc. and then help clean up afterwards. That's chipping in too!
