to use your own home for your shower?  I am not throwing my own shower, but was going to offer my home as a potentional location for the shower.  Is that bad ettiquette?

    It is fine.  I've gone to a couple in the MTB's home and also hosted a couple in the MTB's home.  Just make sure the host(s) are the ones planning the clean-up before and after and also the set-up.

    For sure!  Knowing my aunt, I'll get kicked out of my own home during set up and whatnot.  I showed up early to help with my bridal shower (at my mama's house).  I thought I was being nice.  They made me got get a pedicure instead.  I mean they really had to twist my arm hard. Wink

    Nah not tacky just a pain if your hostess(es) won't be game to do set-up and clean-up... when you offer it up I'd be like "Your welcome to use my house, I'll disappear for a couple hours before and a couple hours after so I'm not in your way" lol

    Sounds like you have some awesome family OP! I'm sure your going to have a wonderful shower no matter where it's located.

    I think it's fine.... just be prepared that like PP said, you may be involved in set-up/clean up. I had a great shower but I ended up doing a bunch of set up and having to scrub my house from top to bottom (while huge at almost 8 months). Wasn't very fun to have to do that..... but like I said my shower turned out great. Was also a lot easier not to have to transport the gifts from another location

    As long as someone else is doing everything, I think it's nice to have it in your own home.  You could open presents in your nursery!

    No, not tacky. If it helps out the shower and that's where the hosts would like to have it, go for it.
