I don`t feel it`s appropriate for a flowergirl, or any child, to attend a bridal shower.

I haven`t seen it done either. I would just say that it is an adults only event. Let the fathers of the children take them for the evening.

My flower girl was at my shower, but she was seven years old at the time so it was fine. I don`t think I`d invite a 2 yr old to a shower. They`d be bored and getting into everything.

I think that it depends on your family and friends. In my family, kids are always included. That doesn`t mean that everyone always brings their kids to everything such as a bridal shower, but if they do bring them it`s no big deal. Often, if a parent doesn`t bring their child they`re asked, where are your kids? So, i think there is no yes or no answer to your question. Use your own judgement. Usually at events such as this the kids just go play outside or in a back bedroom so they`re not really in the way or involved, just there having a ball with their cousins and friends.

I was kinda surprised at this responses in this posting. I`ve seen so may people up in arms over Adult Receptions and I`m curious if those saying no to children at showers are the same saying yes to bringing the same kids to the wedding. Only curious as I`m having an adult reception.
Ok with that said. Most showers that I have been to have had children. When it comes to your flowergirl I don`t think she has to be there, you may want to leave that decision to the parent. Mom may want an adult day. Another consideration is the formality of the shower. If its informal kids are usually more welcome but if it`s one of those catered affairs paying for childrens meals can get expensive.

I am hosting a Bridal luncheon for my niece. I am curious as what other hosts give. I do not want to appear cheap, but a part of me feels the expense of the shower is enough. Thanks for any responses.

Leave it up to the childs parents. Ask them what they think. My sil had a very elagant shower and told me that if i wanted to bring that would be fine just to note it was ellagant and lots of glass. If I could not find a sitter bring her but bring a few toys with me.. I choose to leave her home with DAD.
To the lady ho needs to figure the rest of the shower cheaply for favors go to $ store get candles in a mesh bag print wedding details on your computer.. Food go to Bj, Cosco, Sams and get elbow macaroni and put some sauce and hamburger..buy some rolls... Have some fruit and veggie trays..crackers and cheese.

"kids supposed to be".
If you are invited to a party (of any kind) you should not bring anyone, including children without asking. It is a personal choice that is up to the people who are throwing/paying for the bridal shower. Just ask and respect thier wishes even if you disagree.
