Is that weird? She lives about 2 hours away and the family all lives around me. Including MIL, who has offered to have it at her house but SIL isn't her biggest fan and does not want that.
Personally, if it were up to me, I would want SIL to host the shower at my MIL's house, but I don't feel it's up to me to be making requests since she is doing this for me.
Is this weird? What would you do? Does it look like I am throwing my own shower? Can you tell I read the post below?
Re: sil wants to host shower - at my house...
I think I would just tell her that you'd like to do it elsewhere, because you'll have enough to do, you don't want to have to worry about cleaning, people coming early, etc. If she doesn't want to do it at MILs is there a banquet hall, tea room, mtg room, you could offer up instead?
This. My BFF lives out of town, so she hosted my shower for DS#1 at our house. It was nice, because everyone knew where to go, and I didn't have to transport gifts.
This, all of the recent showers I have been to have been at the Mom to be's house so their is no transporting of gifts, we are planning to have our big shower/BBQ at the house for this reason and so everyone can see the nursery.
ditto. i dont think anyone wouldl think you threw your own shower.
