Plan 0.4–0.75 lbs of food per guest depending on the style. A light brunch needs 0.5 lbs per person, afternoon tea 0.4 lbs, and a full lunch 0.75 lbs. For 25 guests at a brunch, prepare about 13 lbs of food total. Always make 10% extra for second helpings.
| Guests | Tea | Brunch | Full Lunch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 6 lbs | 8 lbs | 12 lbs |
| 25 | 10 lbs | 13 lbs | 19 lbs |
| 40 | 16 lbs | 20 lbs | 30 lbs |
| 50 | 20 lbs | 25 lbs | 38 lbs |
Make one favor per guest. For 25 guests, prepare 25 favors. Budget $3–5 per favor for items like candles, bath bombs, or small succulents. Total favor cost for a 25-person shower runs $88–$125. You can skip favors for very intimate showers under 10 guests.
Plan 3–4 games for a standard 2-hour baby shower. Each game takes 10–15 minutes to play. Budget 1 prize per game at about $8 each. Popular games include baby bingo, diaper raffle, word scramble, and guess the baby food. Too many games can feel rushed.
A standard 3-tier diaper cake uses about 60 diapers. Use size 1 or 2 diapers (not newborn, which are outgrown quickly). You will also need rubber bands, ribbon, a cardboard tube center, and decorations. Total cost is about $25–30 for a store-brand cake or $15–20 DIY.
