[quote=Anonymous]You all are crazy on here. Mom and sisters often throw showers because they have houses and budgets big enough. I was a bridesmaid at a lot of weddings between 27 and 32. I couldn't have afforded to host or even cohost all those showers. Same with the baby showers.

I held a baby shower for my best friend and invited everyone local (friends plus parents, grandparents and siblings). My friend's MIL was so upset that I hadn't invited another 50 of her friends and relatives (50 is not an exaggeration). She kept telling me at the shower how I should have rented a tent and had it catered, since she couldn't host the shower for her son and DIL. Moms have all these insane demands on showers, but want to foist the hosting and financing duties on young women.

I personally never had any showers because my mom and MIL believed they shouldn't host them. I felt pretty alone throughout my pregnancy and instead threw a "meet the baby" party without presents when the baby was born. I never want anyone else to feel that way, so I host baby showers a lot.[/quote]
