alcoholic beverages

[encee1126]

My baby shower is in two weeks. My dad is buying the beverages and is insisting to buy alcoholic drinks. I think that if it were any other kind of party then its acceptable. But do you think its a must to serve beer at a baby shower?   He said people would be bored and leave early. Btw my parents don't drink a lot but think we should provide it anyway. Makes me angry!

Yes its ur day! Who cares what anyone thinks ^^. I wouldnt want my fam and friends all ****faced at my babyshower lol its about welcoming ur bundle of joy into this world not entertaining them. All eyes should be on u and it should be a joyous day. Anyways I hope ur day is perfect and best wishes:)

if you dont want it then your dad shouldnt push it on you.. although i do kind of understand where hes coming from.. the men are going to gather together and chat while the women do there thing (open gifts, playing games) men arent exactly interested in that at all so maybe your dads just trying to make things more comfortable for the men considering he knows what its like to be in their position   BUT again.. its your day!! so its  all about what you want

I definitely don't think its a must at a baby shower. I've never been to a baby shower that served alcohol. I had my baby shower with my family and friends and didn't serve any alcohol. but I did have another baby shower with ppl from my work and they did serve alcohol at that one. I had no involvement in the planning for this one. When I first found out about everyone drinking there I was kind of upset about it because I felt like it should have been about me and I couldn't drink while everyone else could. but on the day it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. But its definitely not a must and if you don't want it then you shouldn't no matter what anyone says. Good luck and Congrats!

I'm having a co-ed babyshower and my uncles are coming so my dad wants to buy some for the men. Its like hello its about me and my hunny and I don't want people to get drunk! Especially since my mother in law will be there. So embarrassing!

[Sundae254]

U can't drink lol I wouldn't want ppl in my face drinking and I couldn't participate...might sound selfish but I'm being honest
