Where do you prefer attending baby showers? At the host's house or at a restaurant?


I've never actually been to a baby shower (and I've only been to one bridal shower other than my own) so i have no idea how to answer my own question

Re: Do you prefer baby showers at home or at a restaurant?

I dont have a personal preference... although a think the home is a little more personal, cozy etc esp if you have a smaller group. One of the nicest showers ive been to was (a bridal shower but still) in a backyard with a catered brunch (omelette station etc).

I have no preference as a guest but as a host I'd prefer a restaurant. Less stress and less to do.

I don't have a preference but I remember trying to get all of the stuff home from my bridal shower... it took 4 vehicles and so many people loading and unloading... I think I would almost rather it be thrown at my own house so everything is here already when the party is over!! Chat Icon

Agreed.

My shower was in my aunt's house, and I thought it was perfect.

No preference. For a smaller shower I think a house would be more personal. But for a larger one, I think it's easier at a place and everyone including the hostess can enjoy herself!

Re: Do you prefer baby showers at home or at a restaurant?

I love home showers….if you have the space, chairs, tables, etc. Otherwise to rent all of that and cater food in can get pricey. But overall they seem more personal.

On the flip side it is nice to go out for a meal and mingle at a shower at a restaurant! So I said equally. Restaurants are nice too because you don't have much set up or clean up after!
