Make the food yourself and don't go overboard! I always make WAY too much food. Really ladies don't eat that much, especially if they're all dressed up. Wal-Mart pink lemonade (frozen kind) is inexpensive, pretty in a crystal pitcher, and tastes great. A package of brownies, cut up some fruit, and you've got a party!
Do you have a theme? One of my favorite themes for bridal showers is a Christmas theme- then the couple has a lot of great holiday items to decorate their first home together. A great web site to look at is party411.com and it has a good message board under "discussion forums."
Good luck!
