Mother Of The Expecting Mother Hosting Shower

Is it ok for the mother of the mother to be, to host her daughters baby shower?

Our Answer:

Hi,

Thank you for your etiquette question. It is totally fine for the mother of an expecting mother to host a baby shower. In fact, it happens quite often at baby showers. Years past, it was considered a money grab for anyone related to the expecting mom to throw the baby shower. Currently, the etiquette rules state that anyone except the expecting mother can throw the baby shower.

I hope that helps. Good Luck!
