can you have a baby shower in the evening?

While shopping around locations for a baby shower - my mom found that the prices at night are pretty close to brunch prices. It seems like you get more bang for the 'ol buck at night.

If I wanted a jack and jill shower - is there anything "off" about an evening shower? (probably skipping the present thing in favor of more mingling...)

Please be honest Chat Icon

I had a co-ed evening cocktail party. It was well received by everyone.

Re: can you have a baby shower in the evening?

I went to one a few weeks ago and all the girls who sat at our table thought it was a great idea to have the shower at night. First, the mom-to-be was very surprised because she thought she was simply going to dinner with her hubby. Second, it was more convenient for a lot of us girls because we could get sitters more easily for a couple of hours in an evening and not spend an entire afternoon for the shower.
HTH.
On the other hand, the venue they chose also had a sweet 16 going on next door so that was weird.

I don't see anything "off" about it. I think it's a great idea.

My sil had a night time shower, it was awesome. It turned into a big party, it was co-ed and they hired a dj, had a ton of food..much more fun than the avg afternoon of watching someone open presents for hours
