Just wondering if this is weird or not...
My house is a straight through style home but the only part of the house with enough room for extra table and chairs for guest is the living room. I don't feel like this is enough room for the sofas and extra seating. It would feel crowded. Soooo I'm thinking of having the food and table and chairs in the basement but of course people are feel to mingle upstairs as well but the main sitting will be downstairs.
Thoughts?

It is a little weird to me to seperate into 2 floors... Unless you only open up downstairs for people to GET food and they have to come back up to mingle and eat?

@snowjewelz: They can totally go back upstairs and eat if they chose but if they don't want to eat out of their laps we tables and chairs in the basement. I only have two tables upstairs. One that sits 6 and one that sits 2. Two sofas. But deff not enough sitting for everyone. What do you think?

@bubblegum: How many people? I have been to lots of showers at homes and everyone jut sits or stands where there is room

@bubblegum: I would just make it work all upstairs - maybe add seats in the basement just in case though (but would keep all the food upstairs)

Where are you going to have the "main events" such as the gift opening?

My mom hosted my shower and everything was in the basement, food, gifts, etc. No one had any reason to go upstairs. Is it finished?

@bubblegum: I think if there is enough space for everyone for the main happenings, I guess it's ok to seperate during eating/mingle time.

@T.H.O.U.: I will likely open the gifts but other than that nothing really. I'm not into baby shower games

@josina: It's finish I guess. We have cement floors but very well painted and the walls are well painted as well. There's also a half bathroom. We would add better lighting though and remove the drop ceiling to reveal the beautiful wood beams. We NEVER use it there's nothing down except storage stuff which we could throw into the storage closet

@snowjewelz: I think it's slightly weird but I do wanna give people the proper space to eat comfortably.

@bubblegum: so where are you going to do gifts? You can't have half the people upstairs while you do gifts?

@T.H.O.U.: I would do either upstairs or downstairs and ask everyone to please come to which ever area I choose I guess

@bubblegum: I guess my point is even if you do extra seating up or down, you still have to have enough space for everyone to gather in one place or the other.
