alcohol at shower?

My mom is planning my shower and it will most likely be a brunch with mimosas, bloody marys, etc. Do you think she should pay extra for alcohol in addition for the above drinks? I don't think it's necessary, but wasn't sure what is best.

Re: alcohol at shower?

personally, when i go to showers i don't expect liquor or wine. Its the middle of the afternoon, most people aren't looking to tie one on.
I think mimosas and bloody marys are fine

Re: alcohol at shower?

Totally not necessary. I'm not even having wine on the tables at my shower. I think your fine with Mimosas & bloody Mary's since is it a brunch.

Re: alcohol at shower?

I think what you have is fine. I've never seen more than alcoholic punch at any shower.

You know your crew best, but I think the brunch standards are enough!

Re: alcohol at shower?

At my sister's baby shower I didn't have any alcohol served. It was early - 12pm-4pm, I didn't feel alcohol was necessary, neither did my parents. The bar was open if someone wanted something on their own.

Re: alcohol at shower?

I wouldn't expect alcohol at a shower. My shower package comes with wine and punch so that's why we're having it but I wouldn't pay extra for it.

Re: alcohol at shower?

I think it is fine and I am (wasChat Icon ) a drinker. I find the selection very appropriate for the particular time/event.

Re: alcohol at shower?

At my shower there was a champagne bunch and then my mom ran a bar tab for anyone that wanted wine. I think maybe 2 or 3 people had wine.
