Question:

Is it ok to serve Champagne at a bridal shower at one o'clock in the afternoon?

The shower is from 1-3 and I thought we would have some Champagne to toast the bride is this to early in the day for alchoal?


Answers:
YES it's technically the afternoon so why not, I would not think twice if I was your guest I would kinda expect it to be honest.

Why not, they have champage at brunches! You could offer to mix it with orange juice.

It is never too early for Champagne.
There are a few variances you could also try:
Mimosa, 1/2 Champagne & 1/2 Orange Juice
Poinsetta, 1/2 Champage & 1/2 Cranberry Juice
Monteleone, 2/3 champage 1/3 Chambord

I think that a champagne toast is a very nice idea. I don't think that it's too early in the day. Many nice restaurants, for example, have champagne brunches around that time of day or even earlier.

yes. Its totally okay ...besides like Alan Jackson says in his song margarita-ville its 5:00 somewhere!

Have a nice party!
good luck
and have plenty of fun!

Champagne is not cheap booze. It's not like you are passing out Jager-Bombs. You can serve it at any time.

It's never a time of day issue when it comes to alcohol-it's moderation that can be an issue. And if that isn't a good enough answer, most people say as long as it's after noon, it's all good.

Absolutely! Champagne is often served at brunch before noon! It's also an indulgence people don't normally do, so it makes it special.

Kir Royales would be a perfect champagne cocktail for a bridal shower. It is fancy and feminine. For a Kir Royale you mix champagne with creme de cassis. They are yummy! Here is the recipe:

Of course you can, lots of people have champagne with brunch, and that can be at 10 a.m.!

Plus, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere. ;-)

Why wouldn't it be? I don't drink myself but make sure you have designated drivers for the drinkers just to be on the safe side.

well, its done all the time. Serve with organge juice but provide otheer non alcoholic beverages as not everyone is crazy about drinking so early in the day. Alcohol always brings out the worst in some people. Even one drink is too much for some people. So be prepared for the fireworks! I know of people who have gotten into car wrecks and died after just one or two drinks.

Certainly !

your wedding your choice!!!!!!!!!!!
your bridal shower your choice!!!!!!!!!!!!
no it not early for champagne!

Sure. it's a celebration! have sparkling cider or sparkling water poured for those who don't want a drink. and you could always make a mimosa (with 1/2 champagne and 1/2 orange juice - or orange/peach or another blend) to cut the alcohol. Great for brunch! Garnish them with a slice of orange - or make them extra yummy and pink if you add Kir Royale (raspberry liqueur).

Is not too early, I would choose rose champagne if you can splurge, otherwise a blush sparkling seems pretty fitting in such a sweet celebration. Another choice is a cocktail with champagne like a Bellini with peach puree, light and appropiate.

its def not too early

Champagne is nice, i mean its a Bridal Shower, she can be glad thats all she is getting for the time being.

go ahead - it might be expected. You could tone it down if you want and add OJ or cranberry juice to it.

Past 12 so then its socially exceptable
