Here are a couple of places I would recommend:
Lynch Street Bistro in Soulard, MO
www.lynchstreetbistro.com
Normally a restaurant for dinner, and can be reserved for private parties during lunch. This was where my Wedding Shower was at.
Little Hills Winery in St. Charles, MO
www.banquetcenterofthelittlehills.com
On historic Main St. in St. Charles.
Bevo Mill in South St. Louis
www.bevomillstl.com
Very pretty, several different rooms sizes to choose from.

Like the wedding itself, a wedding shower can be as casual or as formal as the planners choose.
A homegrown affair. For a more intimate, casual shower, consider holding one at your home. Before you volunteer your house, be certain you have ample room for the guests. Will there be enough seating? Bathrooms? Refrigerator space for the food that will be served? At a shower, you want everyone to be able to enjoy themselves. Close quarters are not enjoyable.
A backyard barbeque. On a warm afternoon or evening, consider having the shower outside, where there is room to mingle. Hang outdoor lights, serve tropical drinks and have someone at the grill. Again, make sure you can accommodate the number of guests you’re inviting. Make sure there’s enough seating and bathrooms. And have a back-up plan in case of inclement weather.
Afternoon tea. There are many area tearooms that provide a Victorian atmosphere. You can go the whole nine yards and ask guests to dress the part with gloves and hats. Or go for casual elegance. Either way, a happy bride-to-be, tasty tea and crust-less sandwiches add up to a party made in heaven.
Time for wine. One of the St. Louis region’s many wineries can provide wine for every taste, wonderful foods and even entertainment (on specified days and times). You may want to consider hiring transportation for guests, so there’s a designated driver before you start. A winery shower can be particularly festive during the strawberry festival or Octoberfest.
Evening cocktails. An evening affair at a fashionable restaurant or bar could be an elegant alternative for a shower.
Sporting news. If the bride and groom are big sports fans, consider renting a suite at Busch Stadium, the Edward Jones Dome or Savvis Center to watch a Cardinals, Rams or Blues game. Offer hot dogs, popcorn, beer and soda. Don’t forget to check security restrictions on packages.
A bunch for brunch. Consider having a Sunday brunch either at a restaurant or at home.
Honeymoon preview. Does the couple know where they’re honeymooning? If they’re heading for Cancun, have the shower at a Mexican restaurant. Bound for Hawaii? Have a luau. Exploring the Eternal City of Rome? Head to the Hill for an Italian feast.
Spa day. Gather the girls for a day of pampering. Some spas have packages available that include a variety of services, from manicures and pedicures to facials and massages. The staff should provide a private room where you can do the gift exchange and serve a healthy, spa-worthy meal.

How many people will be in your party? The AKC museum of the dog (Queeny Park) has a place, if the weather is nice you can have it in thier Courtyard, it's nice. If it's cold or raining then you can have it in thier indoor place. You can have it catered or bring in your own food. I had Le'Grands Tom Boy Market cater my wedding and my reception was at the museum. I think the museum rental was $200 and the food/tables chairs were about $15per person. Talk to Joe Le Grand. (Legrands does not have a website, look in the phone book for numbers)

My wedding shower was given at the Art Museum in their restaurant. They have a private room. It was lovely and special. While I love doing this sort of thing at home, sometimes it's simply easier to do it somewhere where everything is taken care of for you so that you can enjoy the party also. Congratulations, and good luck!

Tony's in Alton has several nice, private rooms which can be reserved for a shower.
Here are several more suggestions:
