Alcohol at Bridal Shower

I have seen some mention (on Pinterest and things) of people serving mimosas, champagne, or some sort of champagne/wine punch at a bridal shower. I, personally, have not been to many showers. And most of the ones I did attend, were in my childhood (so I wouldn't have noticed alcohol). I am hosting a shower for my best friend and have been going back and forth on whether to have it as an option for a beverage. Did you have alcohol served at your shower/showers you hosted?

    Absolutely! Every bridal shower I have attended has offered mimosas, wine, or sangria! I've pinned quite a few yummy sangria recipes on Pinterest that are sure to be a hit amongst a lovely group of ladies! One even did mini bottles of wine as her little thank you for attending the shower! She tied little ribbons with a little thank you card on them.

    All the showers I have been to had alcohol as an option, even at ones where the bride didn't drink. You don't have to do crazy amounts, but my MOH has asked what I wanted and I suggested a mimosa bar or a wine punch. Easy and always a crowd pleaser

    YES. Showers are not that fun for people who aren't hosting or the guest of honor. Wine is a must.

    I secretly have my fingers crossed for mimosas and/or wine at mine on Saturday!

    We're having my favorite cocktail (blackberries, thyme, lemon, bourbon, raw sugar, and sparkling water) and frozen mimosas, but I have been to several showers with no alcohol. Either way is totally fine!

    We had a mimosa bar at mine and it was awesome. A bridal shower definitely calls for champagne Smiley smile

    I've been to tons of showers and none of them have ever had alcohol. Mine didn't either. I LOVE the idea of it though and hope the next one I get invited to has alcohol!

    My shower is at a wine bar, so there is DEFINITELY going to be alcohol. My MoH knows me well.

    I had a bridal tea and one of my bridesmaids made peach sparkling tea with Bellini. It was delicious.

    Mine was Saturday with a mimosa bar and everyone loved it! They had 4 types of juice and berries and pomegranate seeds to add, which was extra delish.

    When I hosted my best friend's, we had a mimosa bar set up. But I also had some sparkling water so our pregnant friend could have one too! I had my shower on Saturday, and there were mimosas. It was nice, because people kept refilling mine for me Smiley smile
