My daughter is pregnant and I was wondering if someone gives here a shower...who usually is gives it? In other words is it in bad taste for the mother to give it?

It depends on who wants to give her a baby shower some women have more then one baby shower.With my 1st baby my mother and sisters gave me the baby shower and with my 2nd my ex mother-in-law gave me the baby shower.If you want to give your daughter a baby shower then you go ahead and do it and if any one else wants to give her one then they can to but not on the same day as yours.Good luck!

My mother and sister gave me mine so I don't see anything wrong with it. I guess it depends on whether any friends are going to give on and how many people are going to be there. What I am trying to say is that I have a huge family and lots of friends. My family threw me a shower and only a couple friends were there, and then my best friend threw another shower for the rest of my friends and some of my in-laws that couldn't make the family one. It just depends on your relationship with your daughter and what the circumstances are. However, I wouldn't think it is in "bad taste" for you to give your daughter a baby shower. Just my opinion of course.....!

These days, anything goes. Traditionally, it's non family members, usually a friend because for a close family member to give it can look a little tacky. But, I don't think you giving your daughter a baby shower would raise any eyebrows these days so go ahead and congrats!

Miss Manners says that to solicit gifts for some other family is a kindness, but to solicit gifts for a member of your own family is too much like greed. However, there is nothing incorrect about relatives HELPING the person who hosts the shower, helping really a lot -- buying the refreshments, the decorations, paying for the postage, and so on.

Traditionally, because it is a gift giving event non-family members are the ones to throw it.
But that's traditionally. If you want to do it, go ahead. Have her friends help you, or co-throw it.

Either one and if the guests are different you can have 2 showers.

no, but contact one of her closest friends and do it together. That way the friend can call all of your daughter's friends and you can call the family.
To do it all on your own is crazy... I know my daughter is pregnant and due in March.
Congratulations!! Grandma...
