My mom mentioned this today and I know that with weddings this is kind of frowned upon. I'm a FTM and FTM amongst my inner circle of friends, so I don't know protocol here. My mom said she Googled etiquette and she thinks it's all good, but I wanted to hear from some more experienced mamas and shower-goers

I personally think baby showers get ppl more excited than wedding showers because FTM's actually need baby items (vs most brides today have stocked homes when they wed) & most importantly----a new life is being celebrated! Baby showers seem more genuine to me, so have it & enjoy worry free!
Its a baby shower, not a wedding. As long as your mom isn't going crazy and throwing out all etiquette I would probably not worry about it.
Sorry, that turned into a mini rant, but these comments about etiquette make me crazy sometimes.

I didn't write the etiquette book, Emily Post did. :P I've always heard immediate family members throwing you any type of shower is tacky. It's common, yes, just not something I would do.
