What would you think if you were invited to a bridal shower at a coffee shop and then had to buy your own coffee?
My aunt is hosting a "traditional" shower for family, older women friends of parents etc. But, my MOH and a BM want to do something low key for our younger friends.
We've discussed having it at a locally owned coffee shop in my hometown where MOH still lives. The coffee shop told my MOH she could host the shower there, but can't rent out the whole space (so it won't be closed to other customers) and that she can't bring in outside food or drink. So, essentially guests would be buying a coffee and hanging out during regular business hours. She is worried (and honestly I am, too, though I'll be thankful for anything she plans) that guest might be a little turned off by the situation.
What do you think?
