This is a really tough one. Personally, I wouldn't be too thrilled about going to a shower, paying for my dinner and bringing a gift. Wording will be everything, and I'm not sure how it is going to work for you. I agree that, it should be hosted at someone's house. Just have some snacks and drinks, and the shower theme would work perfectly fine.

I know that what your hosts are doing isn't considered proper etiquette, but really people do things so many different ways now- is there really a right or wrong?  I think that as long as you are a genuine person and your shower guests know that you truly appreciate their being there to support you and their generosity....well then, they shouldn't mind paying for a meal.  Would you do the same for them?  If the answer is 'absolutely', then hopefully they feel the same. 

Hope you have a great time with lots of great ladies!

Thanks and your so right these days people do all different type of things that aren't proper etiquette and things change which is why.  I'm over it and too excited to worry anymore my shower is this coming Sunday and I know it's going to be great.  I know my guest will enjoy themselves and love the giveaways my hosts have gotten for them.

It seems like this is becoming more common.  I have been invited to a few bridal showers that were at restraunts and I have chose not to go to a few because of the price.  I think that guests will either come if they want and pay the price or they won't.

i am only wondering if guests know they have to pay??   what if they think "oh cool, its a shower, so the meals are covered  by the host".  that is the only thing i would worry about.  i wonder if there is some way to let them know without being tacky about it. like let them know that buying a meal is optional since they are paying...

The guest knew that they had to pay and that it was optional a few guest came and didn't eat and it was cool.  Over all I had a wonderful time and everything turned out beautiful I think I was stressing for no reason looking back now.  Since everything turned out so great I cant say that I would want anything different.  I'll try to post some pics!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
