OP here. Well my own mother and grandmother are both dead. But I was always taught (and previous threads on here have confirmed that:

A - and immediately family member of the bride cannot host and 
B - no showers after the first baby

[/quote]

The “no immediate family” rule really bugs me because it creates an expectation that everyone has someone else in their life who can do it. People don’t. If your mom or sister wants to throw you a shower, they should. What even is the reason for this?

I’ll go a step further and say I think it would fine to throw your own shower, too. People need love and support when they have a baby. I don’t think there is anything wrong with asking for it directly.

And I’m with the PP who pointed out that the “no showers for second baby” rule makes no sense when you consider that many, many people who can afford to buy everything they need for their baby themselves still have showers for the first baby. A baby shower is really not just about getting gifts. It’s a way to support a growing family. [/quote]
