I say there's no rules - your mom, MIL, SIL, Sister, Friend, DH - whoever!

I agree!
My mom and MIL are splitting mine, and I'm helping out where I can since my mom lives OOT.

ITA DH was trying to do it for me since my mom is out of state and can't afford it, but then my MIL took over!

That's how mine is going to be as well.
I've thrown showers for friends though - it depends on the situation.

Re: Who's responsiible for throwing baby shower?
A group of girlfriends thew mine when I was in the States last week (still have to post pics!). But my Mom lives out of the country (as do I) and I wasn't going to be anywhere near my inlaws, so thats just the way it worked out.

Re: Who's responsiible for throwing baby shower?
I would say "normally" the mother or MIL but as a few said above..definately no rules as to whom. My mother passed away (she was here for mine) so when my sister gets preggo..I will throw it.

Re: Who's responsiible for throwing baby shower?
my mom is paying for most of mine and planning all of it (MIL says shes chipping in but we'll see what happens) and my DH is clueless so I told him to mkae sure he helps my mom, maybe do the favors or something. And im sure some of my friends will help with some things too. I dont think there's a clear rule on who is supposed to throw it

Re: Who's responsiible for throwing baby shower?
I think that the traditional rules have changed (mother or sister etc) and anything goes! For example, my hubby basically threw my shower (he paid for it) then I planned everything! I took the initiative.
My bridal shower on the other hand was a total surprise. Once again, <3 hubby <3 booked the place set the party up and paid and my sil, mom and sister planned the little things.

Re: Who's responsiible for throwing baby shower?
I don't think there are any rules anymore, b/c everyone's situation is different.
My mom threw mine and MIL split the cost with her.
