Wedding shower - what time?

[dancingirl21]

My mom, sister and I are throwing a wedding shower for my cousin. What time do you prefer for a shower on a Saturday? Mid-morning like 11-ish or something later like 3pm?

ETA: cousin has no preference.

11ish because you could do brunch foods and those are delicious.

11 is easier for me due to nap schedules and kids being less crabby in the morning. I feel like 3-4pm is when the wheels start to fall off at our house.

Are people traveling? I sort of like a 2pm event or so b/c I can actually do things in the morning. But I guess it's out of the way at 11am. Just seems early to me though....

Later like 3. 11 is too early for me.

My ideal start time is 2pm- or that the time of most showers I've been to or thrown.

11 is great for brunch. And who doesn't love brunch.

11, unless you have many who are traveling, then 1 or 2 would be better

Earlier, because then the rest of your day is free.

10 or 11 am. FOR SURE.

11 seems too early to me and 3 seems too late. 1 or 2 pm sounds good.

As a guest, I would be fine with either (with a slight preference toward 11:00). However, as a host, I think you should consider how much food you want provide. If I went to an 11:00 (or 1:00) event, I would expect lunch. At 3:00, you can get away with just appetizers and desserts, IMO.
