Is it ok if I help with my shower?

lilbit923 · July 2009

One of my friends and my SIL are throwing me a shower in November. I love planning parties and want to help out with whatever is needed. Is it ok if I do the favors for the shower while the girls handle everything else? I was thinking of baking single serving pumpkin breads to take home, red raspberry or jasmine teas with ribbons and a candle for each guest to take home.

I want to pick up hostess gifts for them as well and I have gotten some really awesome ideas on here.

Does anyone have any other favor ideas that worked well and got great response at their shower?

it's up to your host(s). if they don't ask for your help with anything and you still want to do stuff, bring it up to them and let them know your ideas and that you're more than willing and would love to help out. it's up to them, though as this is their gig.

BTW, I really love your favor idea! YUM!

I think traditionally, the hostess would do the favors, but I know lots of soon to be moms like to help out with their showers. The main thing is to make sure that its all behind the scene type of stuff, that guest dont know what and how much you helped. You dont want to come across as being a hostess to your own shower. Good Luck and have fun!

You can help as long as it's kept on the down-low. Your guests should not know that you helped.

I hand made all the invitations for my shower. I wanted to do something crafty and my hostesses didn't mind at all.
