Bridal Shower Costs
How much is everyone spending per guest for your bridal shower? My girls don't have the money to throw me one. FH thinks I should only have one if I can find something reasonable. Do you think I can get by with $25 pp?

Only my house would really work since my mom lives in an apt. I don't know how weird would it be to have everyone come over...?

Not sure how many guests you plan on having. Mine will be at my mom's house but I only invited about 30 people. If you have a large guest list it may not work. Hopefully some of the other brides on here can help you.

I don't think it would be a bad thing for you to have it in your house. You could go out for the day while your mom and BMs decorate and set up. I'm not sure where you're looking but if you're in western Nassau theres a restaurant in Little Neck (Queens) called Aunt Bellas that does a buffet with unlimited beer and wine for less than $30pp. It isn't fancy but the food is great and plentiful.

Re: Bridal Shower Costs
Where are you located? And how many people are you looking at?We did my ex SIL's baby shower at Sergio's in Massapequa. I believe it's on Merrick Rd? It was about that price. The food was great and you had a private room. It was about that price too!

Re: Bridal Shower Costs
Look into brunch. Brunch is usually under $20 and includes Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. Also, you should have some money left over for the tax, tip and a few decorations.

also try nocellos in northport and search on this site- there were a few posts that were well priced !maybe do it without the mimosas/ champagne punch to save some $$?
