if a baby shower is being held at a restaurant, do the guests pay for themselves and host cover the MTB? or is it expected that the guests are all covered by the hosts?
I personally think it's tacky when I'm invited to a shower (baby or wedding) and expected to pay for my own meal but If it's a big party, i understand it can be expensive for the host to cover all the costs as well.
Re: baby shower at restaurant, who pays?
A guest should never have to pay for her own meal. If the host can't afford it, then alternative arrangements need to be made.
If it's not during a typical meal time, then appetizers and drinks might be OK. But the guests shouldn't
The guests should not have to pay for their own meals. If the cost is an issue then other arrangements need to be made such as inviting less people or having it at a different type of venue.
My Mom is hosting a shower for me this Sunday at an Italian restaurant with 25 people, and I think it would not be okay in that situation for her to expect folks to pay for their own meals and drinks. I wouldn't side eye having to pay for my meal
