I am going to have my first baby on December 23, 2011 and I want to start getting ideas on a baby shower. I live in Morris County and I was looking for some ideas as to where to have my baby shower. I am looking for more of a casual lunch kind of a place, inexpensive, non-traditional baby shower and I was thinking about inviting all my family (including the guys in the family) but I am at a loss as to where to have it or even if this is something people do. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

Re: BABY SHOWER IDEAS IN NORTHERN NJ
I have been doing some research and I have found a few places, though my mom got upset with me because I wanted to help plan my own baby shower. She was thinking about having the shower at the Adam Todd in Byram https://www.adamtodd.com/. They have a Sunday Brunch for $25.95 a person and I have been there before for other events and their food is pretty decent. I was also thinking about a Tea Room and I found the Cosy Cupboard Tea Room https://www.cosycupboardtearoom.com/. The atmosphere looks real quaint and I read a review on a different website that said she had a baby shower there and it was fantastic. I am still looking though. We are planning on having a small baby shower (maybe 10-12 people) and it is hard to find a place to would cater to that small amount.
Tiffany's in Morris Plains has a nice upstairs - my bridal shower was there and i've been to other events there- they do a good job- and i know are not that expensive.
i'm a fan of at least the dad going - no need for lots of other men- but i think the daddy to be should be there - considering it's his baby, too
my husband was at my shower for DS1 - and I wasn't - i was in the hospital - so he did it ALL. At my sprinkle for the twins, DH was there - with all the women - it was nice.
