Bridal Shower help!!!

in Pre-wedding Parties
I am the MOH and hosting the bridal shower.  I have been to a shower that was a "wine and dessert" where the guests brought a bottle of wine that matched the dessert they were assigned.  I like this idea and want to do something similar.  She is getting married in Jamaica so we are doing an island themed shower...any ideas on how to get the guests involved like that??

    I went to a party (not related to a wedding) and they had a tropical theme and had a muddle bar.  They had a bunch of different rums, fruits, mint/basil/cilantro, simple syrups, infused waters, and each guest got to mix up their own beverage (I had a watermelon mojito!).  Not sure if it would be okay to ask guests to bring their own stuff, since rum is more expensive than wine, but it was a really fun party and everyone loved making their own beverages!

    You can't ask guests to help you host by bringing beverages.  That's inappropriate.  Are you also suggesting they bring the desserts?

    Host what you can afford.  Don't expect the shower guests to help.

    The host(s) should provide the food and drinks for the shower. If you'd like help with the shower, ask the other bms or a few friends if and what they are able to bring. The guests should not be expected to bring a gift, as well as the food.

    2 Thoughts. 1)  It's rude to assign people things to bing. If you're thowing the shower the food and drinks are on you. 2) Are all of the people invited to the shower invited to the DW. If not then maybe there shouldn't be a shower.

    Why don't you try asking help from the bride's closest friends? I'm sure they'd be willing to help you out. If you guys are on a tight budget, just buy some liquour and the ingredients and mix it up yourself. Ask for some help if you must. But don't ask the rest of the guest in the guest list to bring their own or make their own drink. Here is a page where you can find suitable bachelorette party drinks that you can mix up  http://www.bachelorette-partyideas.com/bachelorette-party-drinks.html
