who the hell brings alcohol to a damn baby shower and sits down drinking huge glasses with kids running around????

Am I crazy and rude... I specifically told everyone no drinking.. Sorry it's not a damn get wasted party. And now 3 people are drinking...

If you said no drinking then it's tacky that they decided to bring alcohol with them. Personally we did serve wine & beer at my baby shower for the non pregnant ones so I don't think it's awful to do.

Im with u on that!! I was wouried about people drinking at mine. Luckily it didnt happen but I was very stressed out about it because of some people I knew drank that I invited.

Depending on where your shower is I would just tell them that outside alcohol isn't allowed in the event room. Several places I have hosted gatherings did not allow outside alcohol or alcohol period. Just tell them politely or ask the staff to tell them.

I would take it from their hands and wash it down the sink. Your party, your rules. If they can't follow, then they can't stay haha

Normally I would say it's no big deal. We provided alcohol at ours. But if you specifically told everyone no drinking, then yeah I'd be pretty pissed.

It's at my house.. But these two certain people (I love them, there great people!!) but they drink every time there here.. And I don't want my baby shower to be about people getting drunk. There's kids everywhere first of all.. And secondly... It's a BABY shower... Had it been a beer, or a glass of wine okay whatever.. Not shots and mixed drinks..

Yea I would have been very upset as well. We bought 2 bottles of wine and a couple beers. Just to serve with the food but only 2-3 people actually had a glass, was nothing crazy as I don't think it's appropriate especially for a day time shower. I would politely pull them aside and mention that it is an acohol free party and that kids are present.

My mother mixed herself a drink.. A drink. And that's fine.. But it's the multiple mixed drinks and shots that are getting to me! I'm greatful for these people coming... Only 4 people came.. So I'm really greatful for them... (Only like 8 people were invited anyways) but it's like.... Who does this??

I just gonna guess that you partied before you got pregnant? Rude of them though, especially if you told them, but they're just not out of the stage yet. Good luck mama.

I had a couple people that drank at my baby shower and were somewhat causing a scene. My mom actually had to go up to them and say something. And this was 11:30am on a Sunday. Unfortunately people are rude and don't respect wishes.

Seems like the wrong time/place to be doing shots! Especially if you asked them not to. I hope it didn't ruin your day!

That's a strong assumption.. Not everyone drinks.
Anyways the answer is no, I didn't party before hand. One major reason why it's offensive for people to come to my baby shower and get drunk.

And no not at all! I am slightly offended but I am having a blast! And as I said I love these people and am super greatful for them. Just wondering if I'm being crazy that it's offensive.

I would definitely be upset especially when you are getting past the "social" level to "partying." We had beer at our's but it was couples so then men just hung out on their own kind of and I only allowed the drinking because those couples were not rowdy.

zmombie · June 2015

Right? Well.. This is my third baby. Lol. Actually one of these people threw my baby shower for my first child almost 7 yrs ago now. But she recently got a drinking problem.. My biggest issue with it is I'm a recovered addict... So it's not just the drinking.. And the taking shots.. And the baby shower not being a get wasted party... It's also..I don't even know.: but I am having fun!

Happy shower for you today!!
Sorry this is going on. Try not to let it be the highlight of the shower. It's annoying when people HAVE to drink to be Social. My brother does that. But remember to keep you BP down!!
And it's your party-- cry if you want to!
