Can AI plan a baby shower for me?

Yes. Tell it your guest count, budget and style, and it gives you a theme, a costed budget, a six-week timeline and a few games.

02The prompt

Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.

prompt.txt
You are a party planner who has organized many baby showers.

Shower date and place: [DATE, HOME OR VENUE]
Guests: [NUMBER OF GUESTS]
Budget: [$ TOTAL]
Parent-to-be and style: [NAME, THEME OR "SURPRISE ME", GENDER REVEAL OR NOT]
Food: [MEAL OR SNACKS, ALLERGIES OR DIETS]

Your task: plan the shower.

Rules:
- MUST keep the itemized total at or under my budget, and show the total.
- MUST include a timeline from 6 weeks before to the day of the shower.
- MUST suggest no more than 3 games.
- NEVER add costs for things I said I don't want.
- If anything is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first.

Give me, in this order: a theme idea in one sentence, an itemized budget table, the planning timeline, and the games.

03Steps

  1. Settle the date, guest list and budget with the parent-to-be.
  2. Fill in the brackets and paste the prompt into your AI app.
  3. Check current prices at your store or caterer and adjust the budget table.

04What can go wrong

  • AI guesses at prices; confirm real costs before you order.
  • Double-check any allergy notes with the guests themselves.

05What to use

Any major AI chat app: ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. The free tier works.
