[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m old school and still feels tacky to me (I’m 43) but it’s becoming much more common. I’m not sure why this is such an issue for the younger generations. My aunt hosted my bridal shower and my new SIL hosted my baby shower. Neither were wealthy or had large homes. Both did a lovely job. Why can’t other people host any more? They spent all their money on a bachelorette to Vegas?[/quote]

I’m pretty sure that both an aunt and a SIL still violate the “rule,” so you’re poor and tacky too. Sorry. [/quote]

NP. Traditionally MOH and/or bridal party hosts the shower. However, for a baby shower, an aunt, SIL, cousin, any friend may host so the PP not really wrong.

I often adhere to many traditions of etiquette but things are much more relaxed today, and so I would not be aghast over this invite. Host and celebrate your daughter.

* what I am aghast over….hosting parties, weddings, showers and asking for$ from the guests, asking for $$ on the registry to pay for honeymoon, downpayment on house, $ for anything![/quote]
