Re: X post - What drinks do you expect at a shower?

I wouldn't expect it at a baby shower..my best friend is having wine at her shower..but really I think it ok either way to have it or not ..its really just personal preference

Re: X post - What drinks do you expect at a shower?

In my family we always do champagne punch, wine on the tables and maybe mimosas—makes it feel more like a party than a boring baby shower. But maybe we're just a bunch of alcoholics.

Re: X post - What drinks do you expect at a shower?

I wouldn't expect it, but since it sounds like a brunch, mimosas and bloody marys are typical brunch drinks. If you do anything, you shouldn't have to do more than that.

I agree.

Champagne Punch, Mimosas and Wine would be cute.

Since the place is charging you so much pp, is there any way you could bring your own punch and / or champagne?

I don't really expect alcohol at a baby shower, but I would probably get a glass of wine if it were available.

Same here. A cocktail just makes it more festive imo.

Thanks ladies - I usually like it when there is alcohol at a shower as well, but I can't remember ever being at one at 11 am.

I'm going to see if they'll work with me on the champagne punch. I just booked ANOTHER shower for a friend at a restaurant down the block and they are charging me $2.50 pp for the unlimited champagne punch so there is no way I'll pay $7 pp at this place just on sheer principle.

If not, I love the idea of mimosas, bloody marys and screwdrivers to make it really feel like a brunch!

Re: X post - What drinks do you expect at a shower?

I wouldn't expect any alcholic drinks unless it was at someone's house and then maybe wine (or champagne w/OJ).

Maybe some mimosa's or wine just because it's a restaurant but at 11 am I wouldn't necessarily expect to have liquor offered.

yes-- champagne, white wine and potentially mimosas, bellinis and bloody mary's.



I agree- especially if it is at a restaurant




same here, and champagne punch too...

Just wondering, why do so many people not expect alcohol at a baby shower? Chat Icon If Im not pregnant, I want to drink if I have to sit at a shower for 4 hours!!!!!
