Hi any ideas for a bridal shower venue for about 25-30 people. For a number of complicated reasons, we can't have it anyone's home and only have a $400 budget, which includes food and everything.
We had tried to book it at a clubhouse but you have to be a resident of most of those places. We are running out of ideas and time, so I was hoping maybe you could help.
Have you checked into local church halls or local parks? Or have you checked with restaurants with a private room? Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
How about some local Elks lodges or the like? They can sometimes be goten at a low cost, especially if you know a member. Ask around. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
Look into reserving a ramada at a park for a fun, informal outdoor shower - or - a banquet room at a restaurant that has a buffet (you'll know the cost of food ahead of time and you won't have to clean up!)
