Q: Can you tell me who is supposed to host/pay for a bridal shower?
Traditionally a shower should not be thrown by the bride's immediate relatives.
The maid of honor or another good friend usually hosts, or several people, often bridesmaids, share the responsibility.
It is common for a bride to have more than one shower; when this happens, the hosts should consult one another about guest lists to avoid duplication. Showers are generally held from a couple of months to a couple of weeks before the wedding.
Who is supposed to pay for all this?
There is no rule for the payment of this party. Attendees should never be expected to pay for their food. Thus it is up to the hostess, to find other methods of payment. Generally speaking, the bridesmaids and maid or matron of honor will collect money amongst themselves to host that bridal shower for the bride. If a formal party is a strain on the bridesmaids, it is an acceptable alternative to hold the bridal shower at someone's home, backyard, or clubhouse.
