I need a cheap but tasty punch for a shower....

This punch has always been a hit for me!

4 quarts ginger ale or lemon lime soda
1 small can frozen lemonade
1 small bag of frozen strawberries
1 qt Hawaiian Punch (any flavor, but fruit punch tastes best, IMO)
1 quart raspberry sherbet

Mix in a punch bowl and add frozen strawberries right before serving! Yummy.

White grape juice and ginger ale. Easy and tasty.

I always add a little cranapple fruit juice to this mixture, it makes the color a little more appealing.

Also, I know you only asked for punches, but you know that ice rings are very, very easy to make. Take your bundt pan (make sure it fits in your punch bowl), drop in rinsed fruit (strawberries work especially well), just cover the fruit with water and set in the freezer overnight. When you're ready to put it in the bowl, just run warm water around the outside of the pan to loosen the ice. easy and fancy!!

You could always make Hunch Punch...

We do a large container of Hawaiian Punch, one 2-liter of 7-Up or Sprite, and plop (in the middle of the punch bowl) a round container of Sherbert (thaw just enough that it comes out as a circle). We prefer the mixed, but any flavor of sherbert will work! It is yummy! The sherbert acts like your ice a bit, to keep it cool, but then it starts to melt and merge with the punch/pop mix... it is so good!

At home, we do it for an evening treat... just add a scoop of sherbert, fill the glass then about 1/2 full of punch, and add the rest the soda... it is a wonderful treat (allow room to fizz)! You can use diet punch and diet soda and the calories are pretty small then!

It doesn't get much cheaper than this, and it always goes over well at the showers/parties we've used it at. You mix 1 gal red hawaiian fruit punch w/ 2 2liter bottles of walmart's version of Sprite (I don't know why, but this one tastes better in the punch than actual Sprite) and mix in 2 qt container of orange sherbert. Easy 'nough?

mmmm....my grandma makes this every xmas. This was the punch I was going to suggest also. I made it for a bridal shower once..very good and very easy and cheap!!
