Mother Of Mother-to-be Hosting

Is it proper for me to host my daughter's baby shower? If not held in the home, I may have a luncheon in a hotel or restaurant.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for your etiquette question. It is perfectly fine for you to host a baby shower in honor of your daughter. The only person who is not allowed to host the baby shower is the mom-to-be.

As far as etiquette goes, any other family member or close friend can host the baby shower.

I hope that helps. Good Luck planning the baby shower!
