Has anyone ever had or attended a bridal shower at someone's home rather than a hall? How was it?

    My bridal shower was at my aunt's home. It was wonderful, they did a great job planning it, and it was cost effective for them & comfortable for everyone. We are also doing our upcoming baby shower at someone's home. If it's what works best for the hosts of the event, then it's perfect! Our shower was lovely.

    Most showers I have attended have been at someone's house. Assuming the host's house can handle the guest list it should be fine.

    I've been to a bridal shower at someone's house. It was fine... a little bit cramped and basically everyone was standing but we were well hosted so I didn't really mind.

    All but 1 of the showers, wedding or baby, have always been at someone's house. I like it better that way.

    My aunt's shower was done in back yard. We catered food for 50 people, had a few waiters serving and cleaning up, enough seating for all. everyone said it was really nice because it was a more relaxed vibe and they had more freedom to walk around and mingle.

    Awesome!! Thank you so much for the input! I was considering having my wedding shower at my mom's house and it sounds like it's worked out well for others so that's great to hear!

    I think it is great. It makes it more intimate and you feel more special for being invited vs one of 100 who was invited to some hall

    The bridal showers I've attended have always been at someone's home. They were all great.

    I've never heard of having one at a hall.

    I'd say about half of the showers I've attended have been at someone's house! It makes things easy and keeps the cost of the shower down Smiley smile

    My mom said showers always used to be held at homes. Nothing wrong with that Smiley smile

    My bridal shower was this past weekend at my sisters house! It was wonderful. Both of my sisters did such a great job. Everything was beautiful!

    Mine was at my aunt's house and it was perfection. It felt more personal because I basically grew up there, rather than a random hall.

    I didn't know that bridal showers were usually at a hall until I got engaged. Every bridal shower I have been to has been in a house. It has been wonderful and comfortable and cost effective!

    I just had my bridal shower at my house yesterday. As long as you have your bridal [arty take care of everything it will be great. I was a little worried how it would be at my house but I loved it. It was nice having everyone come over to our house and be able to relax once everyone left. My bridal party set up, and cleaned after which to me was amazing. If everyone is helping and you just relax it will be a lot of fun Smiley smile

    @Jennifer super cute!

    Most Bridal showers that Ive been to have been in a home...Unless you have the funds available, its usually a high added cost with a hall, in addition to your ceremony and reception. At a home is more personable Smiley smile

    Every shower (bridal or otherwise) I've been to has been at someone's house. They've all been super fun and I've never thought twice about them not being at a venue.
