D., I can't think of any place in particular that would be good for a shower. Hotels are expensive with their catering. Try to find a restaurant that would let you host it in between meal times and offer only h'ourderves or something light. Try the restaurants at International Mall or Lee Roy Selmon's across from the mall.
On the WAHM request, I have a business at home that has a special until Friday 6/15 that you can start your business for $1. I actually started my business for $1 also back in December and it has been great. I'm still working part time but mostly for benefits until the home business is big enough that I can afford individual benefits (especially until we have more children since maternity coverage is the most expensive).
Visit my website www.achievehealthygoals.com for more information. You can also contact me on mammasource or call me ###-###-####. You can get started in the business now and build it slowly at your own pace until you are home full time. No inventory or parties; it's all from your home on the internet and by phone. We work with a health and wellness company and just shop for healthier and safer products for our home. You may want to get more information just on the products since you'll have children in the house soon. All the products are non toxic and environmentally friendly. I look forward to hearing about your shower and talking to you soon about a business opportunity.
