So I'm not sure if it is like this everywhere, or just in my area where I live... but for my wedding shower, (and all wedding showers I've been to) it's been, frowned upon I guess you could say, for the mother or MIL to plan and host the shower. It was just pretty much up to the maid of honor and any friends to do it. I've been reading posts on here about mothers and MIL throwing baby showers. So my question is this, do you think it's tacky if a mom, sister or MIL puts together the baby shower?

Haha! Good point!
I swear that I never heard of this until coming to this board. I don't really understand what makes it okay for immediate family to host a baby shower but not a bridal shower.

I think with a bridal shower, it's thought that the bride's family is traditionally hosting the wedding, thus shouldn't be hosting a shower requesting gift. With a baby shower, its generally only frowned upon for the parents to be to throw it.
