[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem very inflexible, OP. Must have alcohol, must have room to sit everyone down at a table, etc. That's why you're running into cost problems. There are many ways to host showers, and the immense majority of them are casual affairs at people's homes, with people snacking and standing, or resting on a couch arm, or whatever. If you're moving in a rarified atmosphere where you MUST have elegance, place cards and sit-downs... you should also be able to put up the money.

Op here. I’m actually a flexible person. I’ve never been to a shower that didn’t serve a brunch or lunch. Buffet a lot of times. I’ve never seen just appetizers. And I’ve probably been to 15-20. I am not trying to make it super formal. Normally there’s like 4-5 round tables and guests sit there while they eat. Then they open presents in the living area room or sometimes watch from the tables. [/quote]

You're not planning to open presents in a restaurant are you? This is nuts.

Brunch is fine. Buffet for sure. And keep it to finger foods -- mini quiches, mini croissants, prosciutto wrapped melon -- because most of the people should be standing!

My sister's shower was a brunch held in a very modest house. You didn't get to sit unless you were over 70. And it was FINE. We had mimosas and a punch of some kind (I think it had vodka in it) but no one drank that much because it was 11am. I would never have two glasses of wine at 11am.[/quote]
