Baby Shower/whats tacky

So it seems there are lots of things that can make a shower "tacky" Personally if it was up to me I would have a regular party I am not a shower/gift giving event kinda gal.  I do love celebrating with family though!  Okay to my point, I am not throwing my own shower my MIL is throwing it, but is it tacky to have it at my own house.  I have a bigger house and its easier to get to then all theirs.  Plus the boys and friends plan on sticking around and drinking and I don't want them to have to change locations, or have to cart my chubby a$$ all around town all day?

    You can have it at your house as long as you aren't hosting.  When the invites go out, make sure it's clear who's hosting and that they don't come from you.  It'll be fine.

    a baby shower is what it is .. lol, you play silly baby games and ooo and ahh over cute baby gifts .. just have to make it fun .. :)

    as far as having it at your house .. not a big deal .. it would be different if you were throwing yourself the baby shower, lol .. but you're not .. your mother-in-law is hosting the event .. just think you're saving her money by having it at your house instead of renting a place .. plus everybody I'm sure will be a lot more comfortable (especially YOU!) having it at your home and I'm sure quite a few ppl already know how to get there .. so no worries on ppl getting lost ..

    I don't think it is tacky to have it at your own house especially if you have a bigger space. However, throwing yourself a shower is so very tacky! I wouldn't even go to a shower if the mom to be was hosting it.
    i wish i could be joking but my dad is the music teacher at a church so he owuld be mad. we had sex, all the time how bad i know but we dont want to wait and he said GREAT OH KAY! and I was really feeling the wets? down there- too embarsed to say- but he acted like man.

    Perfectly acceptable to have the shower at your house, so long as it's clearly expressed in the invite that you are NOT THE HOST. You can have a baby shower and leave out the games, it will still be fun and not tacky! I'm having a co-ed shower so everyone can celebrate together. Having the shower at your home is ideal if you have the space for several reasons, you don't have to travel to and from and you don't have to figure out how to bring back all of those gifts to your home, not to mention the time spent loading and unloading your car lol! Just make sure that you are not the one setting up decorations, and especially not the one left to clean up the mess afterwards!

    A baby shower is a baby shower...I don't think it matters who is hosting it, but I think it's tacky to show how much you've "dropped" to everyone...I had a friend do that and it was so embarrassing...she was 7 months pregnant and ended up having her baby early, but seriously...it's something I didn't need to see.
