Every woman has wondered about alcohol at a baby shower. If she is the host, whether it’s appropriate to serve it, if she is a guest, whether it will be served. There is no right answer to the question of alcoholic drinks at a baby shower. Some people will jump on their high horses and be completely horrified at the mention of serving alcohol at a baby shower. Others will be affronted if you call it a party and you only have juices and soft drinks.
“Can I get you something to drink?” can be the downfall of a carefully planned baby shower! The one solution that will satisfy everyone is serving non-alcoholic drinks and spirits.
Alcohol free drinks: the perfect solution for the host
What drinks to have at a baby shower is a tricky choice to make. Most hosts shy away from serving alcohol altogether with the mentality of “if mom can’t have it, then why serve it”. If you serve alcohol-free drinks, everyone can drink with mum. Nothing starts off a party quite like a glass of champagne. Serve Thomson and Scott Noughty Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine, a 100% organic and alcohol free champagne that everyone can enjoy.
Want to be the perfect, thoughtful, sophisticated host? Try this recipe for a champagne pink punch that will leave all the guests wanting more:

If you are serving food, pair it with Blue Nun Vegan White Wine, a 0.0% alcohol free white wine with robust, well-rounded flavours.
Alcohol free drinks: the perfect solution for the mum to be
The mum to be hasn’t been allowed to touch a drop of alcohol for 7-8 months by the time the baby shower comes around. They have probably been the designated driver for months and felt left out and bored.
