More baby shower etiquette

My aunt has very generously offered to host my baby shower. My question is, is it tacky for her to host it at my house?

Re: More baby shower etiquette

  • I don't think so, venues can be expensive! My bridal shower was at my house but hosted by friends.

  • I don't think so. I offered my house to some friends that are hosting one. Not sure if they are taking me up on the offer. But they would be the hostesses, not me.

  • Thank you for your input! I don't think it breaks any etiquette codes either, but I couldn't find anything about that specifically. I also read all the many other posts about baby showers I didn't see anything touching on location.
  • I don't think so. Guest will know you are not the host because they will not be RSVPing to you. Plus you won't have to load up the car and bring all the gifts to your house.

  • I think its perfectly fine to have it at your house, like others said you aren't hosting and you won't have to transport everything to your house.
