WDYT - baby shower

Friends are organizing a baby shower, and one of the main organizers sent out an e-mail with things we can bring. One suggestion was mimosas, some with champagne and others with non-alcoholic or sparkling grape juice. I think that's fine, champagne is festive, and it's not like we're going to get trashed off mimosas.

Then another girl says "oh, I can bring sangria!" I think that's weird. Why do we need multiple options of something the guest of honor can't enjoy? She is also planning to bring what she calls non-alcoholic sangria (I call it fruit punch), but I just wouldn't have thought to have two alcoholic drinks, even if there are other options. I don't really like sangria girl, so I'm not sure if I'm being overly judgy or if it's a bit insensitive. No one else seems to think it's rude because I brought up that I wouldn't like it if it were me, and no one's responded. What do you think?

Re: WDYT - baby shower

  • I am not opposed to alchol at a baby shower. as PP have said its a crowd thing. As a host I would want my guests to be comfortable whether or not I can also drink. (Maybe this is because I rarely drink) I don't think having two options is overboard either. Especially because not everyone likes mimosas. Not everyone likes sangria. Also, as someone who often makes sangria for large gatherings, this is very expensive and time consuming if made from scratch so it is a very kind offer to make not one but two.
