    No, the host(s) should be paying for any food or drinks at a shower.

    The host definitely pays. Guests shouldn’t be invited to a shower and then asked to pay for it. I’m sure if you’re sister has planned it she’s already thought of everything!

    I’ve been to both! If guests are paying for themselves than be sure to make that clear in the invitation! Some people will view it as rude to pay for themselves, Mimi’s is too expensive though so it wouldn’t be terrible to pay for it either.

    I was invited to a bridal luncheon and we were asked to pay for our own food.
    I was very put off about this. It was at a restaurant at a meal time and it was the expectation that we eat. And it was $20 for a sandwich, I was not made aware that i would have to pay. It was fun because of the company but not ideal.
    please don’t make you guests pay.

    Guests should not have to pay for their food or drink at a hosted event.

    Usually if at a restaurant, the restaurant has a per person charge for parties and the hosts would cover it. Most also have a set menu for events as well. I know the restaurant we held my sister’s recent baby shower and my other sister’s bridal shower at did. Per person charge and basically a pre-fix menu or brunch buffet

    Agreed! We had a bridal party renting out a room for a brunch. We paid for the cost of that brunch split between the bridesmaids based on the amount of food/drink they needed off their menu for all guests.

    I’ve never heard of guests paying their way — most restaurant experiences I’ve had the hosts put together a prix fixe menu for everyone to choose from OR order a bunch of snacks or something. I wouldn’t sweat it , but if you’re concerned, talk to your sister about it.

    I will say, I might go to something where I pay if I know what it will cost ahead of time, but if there was nothing about covering costs and I got there and got a bill, I’d be pretty upset. So could be worth double checking with your sister

    Guests do not pay. They should not be made to pay. Imagine bringing someone a gift and then them telling you “oh and also pay for being here, too.” It’s considered rude to make them pay. Hopefully your sister has it all worked out with the restaraunt!

    Guests should not pay their own bill. It's a party, so they shouldn't be in charge of what they eat or drink.
