Who generally throws your baby shower
My mom wanted to throw my shower since my bridesmaids pretty much took over my bridal shower which she was fine with. Now my MIL is already starting with me. All i did was ask for a guest list of people she would like to be invited. and she is annoyed that i know when it might be around and all. Hello i dont want a surprize nor can i with my schedule in nursing, school and my husbands hours. Why o why cant people get along. I know the issue is my mom cant stand her and she cant stand my mom but think about us for once.

Re: Who generally throws your baby shower
My mom threw mine. I didn't want a surprise either, plus my family is very close so there is no way they could have kept it from me. DH has a small family and they don't like me  so they weren't invited to the shower which made things a lot easier 
I would just let her ranting go in one ear and out the other. Your going to have a great day with people who love and care about you!!!

Re: Who generally throws your baby shower
My MIL is throwing my shower. My mom and sister organized my bridal shower, so they were more than happy to give over the responsibilities on this one.

Re: Who generally throws your baby shower
My mom will be basically throwing mine, but my SIL and MIL will help, and also some of my close friends also will "help" her. I dont want a surprise either.

Re: Who generally throws your baby shower
My mom is doing all of the planning for mine (I know when it is and we went to look together at places-Bridal shower was a "surprise" so I am glad to know about this one)
MIL from what I hear is contributing $$ to the shower and our moms will talk about ideas and such, but ultimately my mom is the party planner for most events and LOVES every second of it...

Re: Who generally throws your baby shower
My mom threw mine. Initially my MIL said she wanted to pay half and be involved. She wound up paying nothing towards my shower and having no involvement other than buying a cake- of her choosing.

My mom is throwing mine. My MIL is contributing something, I don't know what.
I know everything about it, no surprises. I actually made the invitations and plan on making the favors too.

Re: Who generally throws your baby shower
my Mom will do mine -
She wouldn't ask my MIL for $$$, but she would include her where she felt appropriate. -
My MIL is obviously not choosing the venue or determining the final headcount or anything like that - but I'm sure my Mom will include her in stuff like making the favors or whatever -

Re: Who generally throws your baby shower
DH and my brother will be throwing my baby shower
they've already gotten into the planning and it's so cute  .. my mom & MIL will assist when necessary.
I don't have any sisters, and my best friend moved to Hong Kong for a 2 year assignment for her job.. and I would not ask my friends (who was my bridesmaids) to throw the shower for me, because they've already done so much for my wedding.
