Baby Shower Location - Ideas?

Autum

My shower was originally going to be in my home, but the guest list has out grown its capacity!  I don't want to spend too much, because I have to pay for my own shower even though my mother and sisters are "hosting" (they have no money). 

 It will be a Sunday morning in July.  I was thinking a brunch.

Any ideas?

How many people will you have? 

What's your per person budget?

What side of town are you interested in?

My mom threw one of my showers at Trish's Tea in Baldwin Park. It would be great for a Sunday morning. Everyone that came really enjoyed it. It is not huge, so I am not sure how many people they can accomodate...it's worth checking out though.

The guest list is currently running close to 50 women.  I prefer a $10 per person budget max. 

I live in East Orlando, so ideally something between downtown and East Orlando.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I work in events, you'll be hard pressed to find a location that does food and venue for $10 inclusive - that's less than $8.50 per person once you include gratuity and sales tax    

I'd suggest checking into some of the city recreation areas (pavillions, etc) and then doing your own food. 

Altering the time of day can also be a cost saver.  A brunch shower (around 10:30) is easier on the budget than lunch.  Or you could do a "sweet" shower (ice cream social/desserts) around 3pm.

Good luck in your search for a location!  Let us know what you find out.

another option would be to trim your guest list.
