What do you look for...

MamaJules220 · March 2013

My mom is flying up from Florida to throw my shower next weekend with a good friend of mine cohosting. Because of the cost, I said it was no problem to have the shower at my house. I haven't been to many showers so my question is: what do you look for when you go to a home shower? What is comfortable/uncomfortable? We will be having brunch, mimosas well, not me for that one, and cake. We are not a big game crowd so I'm assuming that's going to be skipped. What have you liked about showers at MTB's house and what have you not liked? TIA.

I like to have a place to sit. I've been to showers where I've had to sit on the floor, and since I wear dresses to showers it is generally not that comfortable.

I would rent chairs, there needs to be enough seats per butts.

Tell your mother that the dress situation is OFTEN and to be good hostess you will rent the chairs yourself. I would feel like a complete jerk if there were not enough seats at any event I had people at be it a wedding or shower or party at my home. No on

Exactly what you are describing. An hour of intros, food, drinks, cake and chatting. Then open gifts, show them off, then say goodbye.

I'm not a game person myself but sometimes at showers it nice as an ice breaker or a way to pass time if there are a lot of guests from different circles. I definitely don't like when the hosts aren't moving the shower along and it feels like it's draggin

I really like home showers, as long as I have a place to sit.

I've also had to sit on the floor at three of the four in-home showers I've gone to.

The last baby shower that I went in a home, it was brunch and had a french theme, with mimosas and crepes, the guests would pick what goes inside of their crepe, the Father To Be was the chef (with a chef coat and hat) and making the crepes (I think they
