		<description>It&#039;s your party, you can serve whatever you want. Make sure you have a non-alcoholic beverage on hand for those who are driving that night.</description>

		<description>no it&#039;s not improper. most bridal showers i&#039;ve been to have had cocktails. you should have more than just one type. you should have that kind you want with Alize, and then also at least wine as well.</description>

		<description>You should do what you want.Yes normally you as a bride do not have in put, but as a newly married woman I would have loved to have some alcohol at my shower, just to lighten the mood. Since it is a lingerie party I don&#039;t see why you can&#039;t have some drinks. It is all supposed to be fun so go for it!!</description>

		<description>I would think that to have cocktails at a bridal shower is completely the norm. I know for a fact that the ladies that are hostessing my bridal shower for me next month will have plenty of champagne and wine available. For those ladies that choose to not partake in this type of beverage, there will be other refreshments on hand, I am quite sure. 
EDIT: don&#039;t let them beat you up on here for choosing to have your shower centered around giving of lingerie. This is perfectly acceptable, and actually is the norm in the higher socioeconomic circles. It&#039;s the perfect opportunity for a bride to be to build her trousseau for her honeymoon and newlywed life. :)</description>

		<description>Since it&#039;s in the evening, I think it&#039;s fine to serve a cocktail. I&#039;m assuming it&#039;s your girlfriends having the shower (since it&#039;s lingerie) and I&#039;m sure they&#039;ll think it&#039;s great!

		<description>You don&#039;t plan your own shower but you can make suggestions to the bridesmaids who are the hostesses. Cocktails are not typically served at showers but you can do whatever you want. Make sure that you also have nonalcoholic options for those who don&#039;t drink for any reason.</description>

		<description>sorry but are you throwing yourself a bridal shower? that&#039;s really rather rude and not done.  it should be your bridal party giving you a shower otherwise it looks as though you are just asking for presents.
as for cocktails - why not?  it is supposed to be a fun thing - a bridal shower - thrown by your attendants.</description>
