Was alcohol served at your baby shower?

If so, what was served? Wine? Cocktails? I'm having a Sunday afternoon baby shower and we're serving lunch. My mom was planning to have red and white wine there, but I wasn't sure what the norm was.

Re: Was alcohol served at your baby shower?
At one of my showers my sister made a punch & put a bottle of champagne next to it for anyone that wanted to add alcohol to their drink. It was a lunch shower.
Another one of my showers was a co-ed shower which was during college football & the theme was football party/baby shower. The hostess served beer & wine.

Heck yes! At my shower for my DD, there was champagne and mimosas.
I think white wine too.
Alcohol wasn't served at mine, only because DH's family is a little questionable when they're all together as it is so we decided not to throw alcohol into the mix, but I think its perfectly normal to have something. If its an earlier lunch you could serve mimosa's or wine too. I think both are great, just as long as the people you're serving to can handle them.

My shower is at a restaurant and there will be an open bar.

I'm having two showers - I'm thinking there will be wine at the first one (a bunch of my friends) and then there's the family shower, and I don't think there will be any alcohol at that one.

Same for me. I can't imagine my friends and family having it any other way!

Yes, it's going to be a brunch with a bloody mary bar, champagne cocktail bar (mimosas, belinis, etc), and the regular beer/wine. It's also coed, and there won't be any lame games.
I went to a baby shower a few months ago that was absolutely excruciating, even though I couldn't drink I know the shower would have been at least bearable if everyone else could have.
Nope. I guess there's nothing wrong with having alcohol at the shower, but it seems kind of sad to serve something that the guest of honor can't drink, lol.
I also think it depends on who is hosting your shower. If it were a friend, I would assume they would serve alcohol. However, my mom is hosting my shower and she doesn't drink (religious reasons), so I know she's not going to serve it. I've actually never been to a shower where there was alcohol.
