Poll: Who is throwing your shower?

Mrs.Syntax · November 2009

My MIL just e-mailed me and wants to throw my shower at her house. I know it's not uncommon even though technically taboo, but I just wasn't expecting it and had honestly planned on not having a shower, since I don't like to be the center of attention. I'm just curious about who is throwing yours![Poll]

my mom is paying for the shower but my cousin/sisters are handling all the decorations/favors/invites.

I'm actually having 2 thrown for me. 1 by my mom's sisters (family) and 1 by my sorority sisters (friends).

I also don't like to be the center of attention. But this is my first baby and my mom's first grandbaby...she's so excited! I think the shower is more for her to put her energy into something

carney09 · November 2009

My MIL is paying and my sister and a couple friends are doing the rest

Jennicap · November 2009

My sisters and mother will host one shower, my MIL's (I have 2) will host my other shower.

Mhild · November 2009

My mom will be throwing mine. In my area, showers aren't nearly as big a deal as some places and it's perfectly acceptable for mothers/MILs to throw the showers. A few friends will be helping out but my mom (and probably to some degree, I) will be doing most of the planning.

True, this is also the first grandbaby on both sides! I think my MIL was a little disappointed when I told her a while ago I didn't really need a shower. She must really want to do it, otherwise she probably wouldn't have brought it up.

My sister

Ditto. Poor thing just threw my wedding shower this past Spring!

myonetruelove · November 2009

My mom, MIL and sisters have come together to throw a big party.

jilicious · November 2009

My sister in law!

She was so sweet. I threw her and my BIL a huuge engagement party so the second she found out I was pregnant she was like "I get the baby shower! I get the baby shower! I am SO throwing your baby shower, yaaaay!"

I put other because I'm going to have two. My sisters will throw me one for my family and my friend is going to throw me one for my friends. I have a VERY large family and they are rather conservative and my friends are wild. Just not a good combination.

jmlushbough · November 2009

I'm pretty sure I'll have more than one...

One from my aunt (my side of the family), one from DHs side of the family and probably one from work.

I placed my SIL in charge before anyone else could jump in. I hate baby showers, and I esp hate baby shower games. I would like a guy/ girl "party" as I hate attention too and she's the only one I know will respect my wishes. I may sound like a brat but I would be misserable at a traditional shower Confused

izziebee · November 2009

I voted another family member but it's my 2 sisters, my 3 sister in laws and 2 very good friends. I'm having only one shower (didn't want each side to throw me one) and they all wanted to help. One of my sister's though is the main organizer.

BBachmann · November 2009

My SIL is throwing mine. She is also my roommate and BFF.

kiki_1218 · November 2009

My sister and best friend are throwing mine

Mrs_Springbride · November 2009

my mom and my MIL. my mom is paying for the food & room, MIL is paying for decorations.

aljalj00 · November 2009

That's a good question. Noone has even mentioned a word about it. I would guess since noone really talks about me being prego, that a shower hasn't even been considered. Sad

TheBeez · November 2009

Sister is giving me one

SIL's giving me one

Co-workers giving me one

Smootchy · November 2009

my mom and mil are throwing it together, so I didn't know which to click

nicolekleemann1 · November 2009

my good church friends but all my family is invited. i only think its taboo if you throw yourself a shower.

NewMama2010 · November 2009

My mom and MIL are co-hosting equally. It will be at my MIL's house, but they are planning and buying everything together.

Meegs10.13.06 · November 2009

My best friend and my mom are working on it together.

GreekyPie · November 2009

No shower for me.

swimrbride · November 2009

I picked other. I am having two, one is being thrown by college friends, the other by a family friend and one of my aunts.

I'm not sure. My mom has been talking about how it's going to be hard to pick a date, so my impression is that she is planning on throwing it. My MIL will probably help out too. They live 5 minutes apart, go to the same church and have the same friends, so it will be unavoidable.

marriedinaugust · November 2009

We are having 2 showers. The first one is being thrown by my 2 older sisters and the 2nd is by my MIL and SIL.
