  1. Opt for many smaller cakes

Instead of one huge cake, get a few smaller cakes. Usually, cakes are priced on how big they are, so if you get smaller ones, you’ll save a few bucks. And if you get two or more smaller cakes, you can easily have each one decorated differently according to your bridal shower theme and have them made from different flavors, which will give your guests a variety of treats their taste buds will love.

 

  1. Cupcake cake

Be different and opt for cupcakes instead of a traditional cake! Or better yet, get a cupcake cake, where the top tier is usually a small cake and the rest is tiny cupcakes. Many bakeries offer this option, which is usually less expensive than a regular cake and is just as delicious.

 

  1. Simple cake

Just like wedding cakes, a wedding shower cake can be super elaborate and fancy, which makes them just as expensive as a regular wedding cake. Skip all the frills and opt for a simple, elegant cake that will look great in pictures, taste amazing and won’t take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget. The simpler the cake is, the less expensive it will be.

 

  1. Dress up a grocery store cake

If you really want to save big, skip the fancy bakery cake and just head on over to your local grocery store and buy one from there. All you have to do is have them decorate it to match the theme of your bridal shower to make it look amazing. It’ll be just as scrumptious as a fancy cake but half the price!
