usually it is in bad taste for a mother to throw her daughter a shower. personally i would not mind, but it is some rule. :P
most of the time it is suppose to be the bridesmaids or another party hosting the event.

I guess the mother can give a shower, but it is a more appropriate way to have the bridesmaids, or the matron/maid of honor to give one, or the grandmother, or other relative of the bride. It is possible that the groom's family will give a shower and most of the time the groom's mother and your mother attends both showers if there is two or more showers. I had 4 showers before I was married, and the fourth one was given by the people that I work with, the third on was given by family in another state, the second one was given by his family, and the first one given by my bridal party. Lucky, right?

Typically it is the bridal party that gives the wedding shower, but it would be nice if the MOH had the mother of the bride and groom invloved. We all know Moms love to help with stuff and even though etiquette says they shouldn't "throw" the shower, I really don't think it is that big of a problem to have them involved. Especially if you have a small bridal party, they will need all the help they can get!

I've always been told that the mother of the bride and groom are not supposed to give the bridal shower. Normally it's the maid/matron of honor, bridesmaids or both.

Emily Post is a great source. Also Miss Manners. Any other wedding etiquette book too.
Immediate family members, i.e.mothers or sisters, NEVER give bridal or baby showers.
Cousins, sisters-in-law, aunts, friends, etc. give the showers.

She can if she wants. I have known of Mothers and Sisters throwing the shower, but I think traditionally the Maid of Honor is supposed to do it. It all depends on your prefrence. Your mother will be busy with the wedding plans, so it may be nice for her to defer that responsibility to the Maid of Honor.

This seems to depend upon where you live! Where I'm from, the family gives the shower - mothers, sisters, aunts, etc. with some help from the bridesmaids if they live in the same city.
However, I've learned from Answers that some people consider this 'taboo' - that in some places, it's proper that only the MOH gives it.

That's the traditional dutty of the bridal party, particulary, yoru maid of honor.
It's in poor taste for your parents to throw a shower for you.
Good luck

I was in my best friend's wedding, and the bridesmaids threw the bridal shower.
