Baby shower planning and etiquette
Written on Sunday, June 20, 2004 by Jessica
In Babycenter.com's article, Baby shower planning and etiquette, they encourage you to ignore the traditional advice about who should throw the baby shower--and the traditional (formal) advice is that "someone who's not a relative must throw the shower to avoid having it look as though the family is asking for presents." This baffles and amazes me. I've always assumed it was the job of a sister, sister-in-law, etc. to throw the shower. I'm throwing my best friend's shower, but I only agreed after I knew for sure her sister couldn't do it. I agree. Ignore Miss Manners.
