WR: Who threw your bridal shower?
The girl who I despise, that is "marrying" my ex just posted all over the WWW that she was writing out her bridal shower invites. (This is the girl who I found out last week was PG. I think I posted that on here.) I don't really give a sh*t what she does, but I was telling DH about it and he announced that it was improper etiquette. I don't care if it is or not, but it got me wondering: who threw your shower? In my case, it was my aunts and then my MIL.
Disclaimer: I am not trying to be a b*tch if you did it yourself, DH wanted me to see if this was the norm now or what!

Re: WR: Who threw your bridal shower?
Etiquette states you can't throw your own shower, or any gift-giving event, even an engagement party (which may or may not be a gift-giving event depending on your circle). It also dictates that showers aren't thrown by immediate family members like moms.
However, my shower was thrown by my BMs plus contributions from our moms, so I'm an etiquette no-no anyway.

"Marrying"? Is she not really marrying him? Now I'm the one who sounds like a b*tch. I didn't even have a shower.
Pity Party, party of one. Your table is ready.

My sister (MOH) and aunt threw me one shower back home but it was hosted at my mom's house so she helped too. One of my BMs through us a couple's shower here in town. DH's cousin and her mother through us a 3rd shower for his side of the family.
I dont think its so bad if your mom/MIL help but their names aren't supposed to be on the invitations technically and you should never do it yourself. Then its just like asking people to bring you presents.

Married
My shower was thrown by a good friend down here. If it was not for her I would of not had a shower. It was a great one and I enjoyed it.
When I went home their was just not enough time for me to have a shower but they help I got from my familly to get the rest of the wedding in place was just great.
My bridesmaids hosted one, and my MOH and a family friend hosted the other. That's in terms of the invitations.
Now, did my mom help? Of course. But on paper we didn't break any ettiquette rules ;-)
Shower #1) DH's aunt & cousin
Shower #2) one of my BM's and her mom
