Wine at a baby shower?

Bgermino · April 2013

While planning my baby shower, my mom wanted to know if there could be wine at the shower. Didn't bother me at all, but it dawned on me what other people might think. I've never been to a baby shower with wine, but then again I've only been to a handful. We also decided to have "preggatinis" for me and the younger family members. Is it "trashy" to have wine? Am I thinking way too into it?

TIA, Jude's Mom

I have never heard of this.

Wine is a staple in my relationships with many of my girlfriends. No need to outlaw it because I can only drink N/A Champagne/mimosas. I think it totally comes down to personal preference.

I think you find alcohol less often at a baby shower than a bridal shower, likely because the MTB can't drink, but I don't think having wine or a champagne punch at a baby shower is inappropriate as long as the guest of honor doesn't have an issue wi

Depends on your group. I have family members who would refuse to come even if we used wine bottles as decoration, so it's a no go for us. Plus, i'm not a fan of serving something that not everyone can partake in.

We had wine at our baby shower with my first and probably will with this one as well. I agree with pp as long as its ok with you.

I say do what makes you happy. We'll be having a coed shower with our local friends and there will be wine and beer. I'm not at all concerned with what others think. I've been to showers with and without and never thought twice about it

I don't think there's anything wrong with wine at a baby shower. It's a celebration with your family and friends. My family has wine at all gatherings, it doesn't turn into a wild night. As long as it doesn't bother you. I love the idea of "preggati

Personally I would say no, mostly because I would be super jealous. I love mimosas and wouldn't want to have to sit there with just punch or water. We had mimosas and bellinis at my bridal shower.

I see no issue with offering alcoholic beverages at a baby shower.

wilsontl19191 · April 2013

We had mimosas at mine.

lialakacz · April 2013

I think it's fine. I've been to many baby showers where they've had alcohol. Sangria is a great one to have this time of year at showers.

I'm vegan, so at my wedding shower my sister asked me i

We had pink champagne at mine. I thought it was cute

I sipped on sparkling pink lemonade

V&G101808 · April 2013

I see no problem with it... it may just depend on your group of guests though.

I hosted a baby shower last year and we had preggo punch for the MTB and others who didn't want alcohol and made a white sangria for the other ladies (and it was ver

BelhurstBride · April 2013

I don't think I've ever been to a shower without some sort of alcoholic beverage, be it wine, champagne or punch.

jmarie67231 · April 2013

Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean everyone around me can't drink...I'm having a pool party for my baby shower and there will be beer and cocktails for others to enjoy I'm even thinking about doing blue cocktails cuz I'm having a boy

kje120 · April 2013

We had wine and beer at my shower for DS - it was co-ed, though. I don't see why it would be trashy.

I am having my shower at a winery. Alochol is definitely ok as long as there are sober drivers and it is acceptable in your social circle.

That.Just.Happened · April 2013

I have been to and hosted a ton of baby showers. We always have booze, either wine or mimosas. I am actually hosting one for my SIL this weekend and we will be serving both wine and a yummy punch that we will have proseco on the side so people

magdalina.h · April 2013

My shower was held at my church so no wine there, but if it had been some place else, we would have had wine.

ChestyLaRoo · April 2013

I see no problem with it, but I am having a co-ed shower with a full bar. Even the most genteel showers I have been to have had champagne or mimosas at them. Mine's just going to have Jager also

My mom, aunt, and best friend are throwing me a brunch Baby Shower and there will be a "mimosa bar." Just because I can't partake, doesn't mean my friends shouldn't. I am perfectly happy drinking water or orange juice while they get mimosafied.

I think its more than appropriate to have wine at the shower. The only alcohol I would side eye at a baby shower would be a keg or maybe some jello shots lol.

Monilee1017 · April 2013

I think it depends on he group. We pretty much always have wine at any function in my family. But I will say I went to a shower 6ish weeks ago and the game prize was wine, I didn't know until I won. My MIL joked about how I am so competitive and i won som

I'm having wine at mine just because I can't drink doesn't mean friends and family can't

katharine25 · April 2013

There will be wine and beer at my shower, I made my mother [host] promise. Were also doing a lakeside bbq, so it would be weird IMO if it was a dry event. Drink people have more fun, and I can guarantee if I wasn't KU I would want a glass of wine at a sho

BittyMang · April 2013

I think it would be weird NOT to have wine or champagne at a baby shower...

Sascha3 · April 2013

My family has wine at all events. I think there has been wine at every baby shower I have gone to.

kennazebrowsky · April 2013

We will have wine and beer at the shower. I obviously won't drink but my family likes to.

kellibelle0417 · April 2013

Mine will be a brunch shower. We are having mimosas and fruit water. I'm all for it!

Mrsmac10210 · April 2013

My shower is being held at a brewery, lol. Just because I can't drink, doesn't mean my guests have to follow my rules.

Why not? My sister mentioned having mimosas at mine and I was fine with it. Whatever makes everyone happy

Kayla*Marie · April 2013

I can't imagine our family having a get together WITHOUT wine! My mother will be hosting and the best picture I can paint of her and my dad are Red and Kitty from "That 70's Show". haha I love them :-)

missgabbagabba · April 2013

I didn't have any at my first one, but I've been to a ton of showers, coed and female only, where alcohol was served. Seemed fine to me. So I definitely plan on having at least wine at mine this time around.
