I was just wandering what is tradition when it comes to a baby shower. My mother, aunt and sisters are all getting together to throw me a baby shower. My husband asked his mother if she had planed anything like that and she said Thats not my job that is your sisters job. What is tradition when it comes to who gives you a baby shower?

I think everyone has their own traditions on baby showers, some say it's "grandma's"job others say aybe your closest friend. My mom has ended up throwing mine, I had a question about having more then one baby shower that I meant to get advice on thanks for reminding me!

I kinda think it's up to the individual families. My husband's family is giving me an 'after-baby shower' so I can get some of the things that I still need. My mother gave me a traditional shower. It's up to you and your family how you want to do it. But, above all, have fun and get all the free stuff you can!!! ;)

I think it's whoever volunteers for the job of playing hostess. With my first baby shower, my mom hosted it and with this baby shower, my mom hosted along with 2 of my girlfriends :o)

My aunt threw me a shower for my first baby. My step MIL threw a separate shower for my first baby. My co-workers threw me a shower for my first, second, and third babies! I think people are less worried about "proper" when it comes to baby showers than they are about wedding showers.

i dont think many people follow, the classic tradition anymore but, usually your sisters or sister in laws or friends throw it for you. but now a days just about anyone can throw you one.

I don't really know what the tradition is. I guess it's whoever really wants to throw it for you. I think it is usually tradition for the god mother to throw it. Just like when getting married tradition for the maid of honor and braids maid to throw the bridal shower and bachlorette party. With my daughter my mom threw it. With this one my mom and his mom threw it.

I didn't know there was a tradition for baby showers. My sister is hosting mine with the help of a couple of my friends.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
