[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amid all the families may "never" host rhetoric I just want to point out that according to Emily Post that is no longer true.

Hosts and Honorees
Traditionally, close friends, cousins, aunts, sisters-in-law, or coworkers of the mother-to-be hosted baby showers.   Because gifts are central to showers, hosting by a member of the honoree’s (or husband’s) immediate family appeared self-serving. [b]Today it is appropriate for anyone to host a baby shower[/b] as long as there’s a legitimate reason. For example, some parents-to-be live far from their hometowns, and their mothers and siblings want to host a shower so that longtime friends can attend. ... A shower for an expectant or new single mother is a good way for her family and friends to show their love and support.

Thank you! The old biddies on DCUM are living in the dinosaur age. Almost every baby shower I have been to has been thrown by the mom’s mother, except in a few circumstances when there is an estrangement.[/quote]

+1. Every baby shower I’ve been to was hosted by the mother. Who wrote these etiquette rules apparently “everyone” knows about?[/quote]
