i am a sister in law, this shower is for a niece. I was called by the mother and ask if i would like to help(said sure) and then i was told about the shower and where the mother had choosed and it would cost me about a $100.00. I told her this was to much, she get very upset because no one in the family has offer to throw her daughter a baby shower. (this is the first baby for the family). I told her i didn't know we where suppose to. I feel if we where to do this why didn't she come to us first and ask us what we would like to do for her daughter(there is only 1sister and 2 sister in laws)
Do you agree

A girl's mother is in charge of throwing her a baby shower. Sister assist in the actual shower by helping with games and gifts.

A baby shower can be hosted by a close friend or group of friends of the mother-to-be. While traditionally considered improper for a family member of the mother-to-be to host a baby shower, family members today commonly help and often plan baby showers. My call on it: if you are a family member and the only one able to give the mom-to-be a baby shower, do it. Every baby deserves a shower and every pregnant mom deserves a party! If Mom-to-be already has another child and had a baby shower in her honor before, so what? Call it a diaper party and give the woman a party! ;-)

The Mother of the daughter having the baby . also it is proper for the Fathers Mother to help now too . That is if they are together .If the girls Mom is passed then it should go to the SISTERS of the girl .If she has none hen the sister - in -laws . Remember , parties and showers are to honor the person you're giving it for , NOT to get praises for a job well done . It is not anybodies day but the HONOREE !!!!

Whoever feels happy doing it. Throwing a Baby Shower party should not be an obligation. It will take away the idea of fun. Anybody in the family (even friends) can do it, although the mom should be asked first if she has a plan on doing one.

In general, whoever would like to throws the shower for the woman! There really are no rules here as to who should throw it. Historically, I believe most mothers threw the showers, but now, close friends do so, as well!

Mother or sisters whoever is more able. It is acceptable for anyone to throw a shower if family cannot.

Usually, her mother or sisters will have one, as well as her mother-in-law's family (or a combination of the two). But no one is *obligated* to host a shower.
