Alcohol at the Bridal Shower?

Pshhh, tacky or not, they're having it at mine! I think we're having mimosas. :-) I don't think it's tacky at all, but that's my humble opinion. :-)

I think that champagne is somewhat normal? At the showers I have been to anyways it has been.

My shower is a Friday evening (only day that would work for most people) and we will have having wine.

I've never been to a bridal shower with booze, but I know that lots of people have them.

I doubt mine will. My BMs hosting aren't into it, so I doubt thought are planning to.

I think wine or champagne is totally fine at a bridal shower. I'm not a drinker, but the only drink I will indulge in is wine and mimosas. What's a get together without a light libation to compliment it! :-)

I had sangria with fresh fruit. Norm or not I loved it!

Champagne or mimosas or something like that would be pretty acceptable I think.

My shower was on a Saturday afternoon and we had champagne & mimosas. It was fantastic.

I had a morning 11am brunch bridal shower. We had mimosas and champagne for people to drink! It was a very classy affair!

TOTALLY APPROPRIATE!!

We had it at mine.. Sangria, wine, margaritas and other mixed drinks.. I don't care if its tacky.. Everyone enjoyed themselves :-)

I told my girls that I want my Bridal Shower to be champagne themed! So yes, alcohol is the norm and usually expected, at least in my circles.

I need it at mine!!! Lots of people and I HATE being the center of attention. I am sure there will be spiked something or other, but.. if not.. it is in the back room of a VFW with a bar... so.. works for me!

We definitely had alcohol at mine! after asking people to sit around and watch me open gifts for all that time i made sure my girls knew to get some booze.

I don't think it's tacky. We are having Sangria at mine

Not only are we having alcohol, but we are having a DIY mimosa and bloody mary bar. I think if you have wine, mimosas, mojitos, etc you would be fine. I'd stay away from keg stands, though. That could get a bit tacky...

I think I'm gonna need a glass of wine or two to calm my nervous of opening gifts at the shower!

We had sangria and wine...i dont think its tacky, a keg would be tacky lol but spiked punch, wine, champagne, sangria, mimosas, those things are showerish

I don't think it's a party without alcohol....kidding (sort of)

But I don't think there's anything wrong with that AT ALL! We had a DIY mimosa bar at my cousins...and my MOH's we had a full service bar

Mine's this Saturday, and it's an around-the-world theme - a few finger foods from different parts of the world in a few different rooms, paired with a beverage for people to sample. We're doing Italy, France, and Lebanon (all places I've lived/spent time/am from), and so that means wine, champagne, and arak (a horrible, really strong anise-flavored liqueur along the lines of ouzo, but worse). If that's tacky...I guess I'm tacky.

I don't think it's tacky/right/wrong one way or the other...just a personal and hostess preference.
