[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]32 but your mom shouldn’t be hosting a shower. [/quote]

Op here: why? Every shower I’ve been to, has been hosted by the persons mom. My best friend had her shower last summer and it was hosted by her mom and sister and held at her moms house. My other friends was also hosted by her mom and sister and hosted at her sisters house.

I’m confused as to who is supposed to host it? My sister is 20 so she’s certainly not hosting it. Seems odd you think someone’s mom shouldn’t host it but ok.[/quote]

There are a handful of weirdos on DCUM who freak out over it. Etiquette from decades ago dictated that immediate family should not host showers, and that gifts should only be small tokens like a rattle or spoon, because it was "tacky" for parents to rely on others to pay for their child.

In real life, 99% of people WANT to celebrate the baby and help out, and do not GAF who hosts the shower. Hell, we just had baby #3 and I had three showers (despite me insisting I didn't need any) because people were excited and wanted to pitch in.

Anyone who is more obsessed with how tacky you may or may not be, rather than being joyful for the new addition to your life, is not a true friend and you shouldn't worry about what they think. [/quote]

I actually refused because I think it’s incredibly lame to expect friends to buy all the stuff you need for your third freaking kid, so that was also an option you had available to you. We did a spa weekend. [/quote]
