My sister offered to throw me a baby shower, but she's not from this area and I dont have any local friends/ family with homes large enough to accommodate a shower so she needs help finding a location to have the shower at. Any recommendations?
Heres the criteria she's trying to meet if possible: fairly casual location, must accommodate about 30+ people, preferably near the PA Turnpike (many guests from my hometown in Central PA will be invited), affordably priced ($20 or less pp) or a venue where you can bring your own food. Thank you greatly!!!
Re: Baby Shower Location
Look into fire companies, they usually have community rooms that they will rent out. We had mine at the West Whiteland fire company in Exton.
BTW, where are you from in Central PA? I'm from Selinsgrove...;0)
Thanks for the suggestion. Ill check out the West Whiteland fire company. Do you remember if the room came with basic items like tables/chairs etc? Unfortunately, Im finding that by the time you pay a rental fee and purchase/rent all the accessories (table clothes, plates, decorations etc) its a very similar price to a casual restaurant.
And....I grew up in Mechanicsburg. The low cost of living and free babysitting offered by my mom keeps enticing me to go back, but Im so comfortable here now, I dont know if Ill ever make the leap!
Yeah, I work in Harrisburg and my mom keeps wanting us to move back to Selinsgrove. We'll see...;0)
They do offer you the tables and chairs and the kitchen. My SIL knew one of the township cops so we got the room free and she works for a restuarant in West Chester that caters so they got the food cheap. But you could easily do it on the cheap side making salads, sandwiches or pastas that you keep warm in the oven.
Good luck! (oh, I'm on my work computer and my co-worker is on the knot so sometimes our sign in names get confused which is why I posted with her name the first time...)
