Baby Shower Help

[AHappierHour]

I'm helping host a baby shower and the shower will be the end of July. Where I live it's normally 90-100 that time of year. Im thinking either an earlier mid-morning brunch or a late afternoon party.

Would the late afternoon be weird to you? I know it's not normal for a baby shower but it would be nice to have the whole day to prep and not be rushed.

Not weird at all.  I've been to several late afternoon/teatime showers recently, and they were all great.

I would not attend a mid-morning brunch baby shower because showers aren't done at that time around here. I think most of the showers I've ever gone to start between noon and 2 p.m.

Are you having it outside??

I've seen it done both ways. If you host it in the morning though you have more time for pick up afterwards... and you're not working during the heat of the day.

You wouldn't attend it because it's not the norm? Whaa?

1: HAVE IT INSIDE.
2: I'd do a 2-4pm tea.

Possibly. The other host has a nice big backyard that is perfect for parties. Lots of big trees with shade too. I'm just trying to think of all the options.

I've been to a couple of late afternoon showers, and even to a couple of happy hour/dinner time showers. They were fun!

How late is late?  Here's my take- afternoon showers are fine, around 2 - 4.  But that's the heat of the day.  If it will be outside, it will be HOT.

However, to do it any later - you're butting up against people's evenings. 

I've been to brunch showers (mine was one, actually) and they've always been very nice.

Mid-morning is what 10 a.m. or so?

No, I wouldn't attend because if it's on Sunday, I'd be in church. If it was on Saturday it would be too early.

Don't mind me. I'm old and set in my ways. Besides, like I said before, a shower at that time would never happen around here.

Pregnant ladies get hot. Afternoon is fine but have it inside, with AC.
