This will be the first grandchild on both sides, so I have my mom asking, who should host the shower? She is thinking the moms? But my sisters already have it planned in their heads, and then there's his sister, she prob won't want to do it but maybe will feel obligated if my sisters are part?
SO, who typically hosts the baby shower?
Re: who should host?
Any of those are fine. Someone just needs to step up and make the official offer and the others can offer to help out as well and all become co-hosts.
Enjoy!
Some etiquette purists frown on any family members hosting a shower. Perhaps that can be your "out" in this dilemma? You could wait for a friend to offer to host and thereby sidestep the his/my family issues?
whomever you want! My mom and mother in law will probably each host a shower for me, but that's due to logistical reasons (my fam lives in south Texas, my in-laws in north Texas). My best friend will probably host another one in Austin for me, and then my work colleagues will probably have yet another one, PLUS my husband's colleagues have been known to throw a shower for men (and invite the wife, of course).
That's how we did wedding showers - I had 4.
