Who hosts the bridal shower? (Sincerely sorry if this is a repeat)

So obviously I know that I do not host my bridal shower, but I have been told that it is usually aunts or bridal party? I need some clarity! Thanks WW!

    Here's a great article for you to check out Courtney:

    https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-ideas/showers-and-parties/bridal-shower-etiquette

    "Typically, the bridal party (led by the maid of honor) plans and hosts the bridal shower. However, under certain circumstances, family friends or family members can also host the shower. In years past, it was considered inappropriate for family members to host a bridal shower because it was viewed as greedily asking for gifts, but these days, etiquette rules are more flexible."

    Anyone can host it. My shower was hosted by my MOH and BMs.

    Theoretically, it shouldn't be a mom, a MIL or grandma, but that piece of etiquette seems to have gone out the window.

    Agree with the other ladies, whoever offers Smiley smile When I was my sister's MOH I hosted. No one else offered, but I just assumed it was my job!

    I'm still newly engaged so the shower hasn't come up yet, but I imagine my MOH (sister) and mom will probably offer to co-host.

    Thank you everyone! My family, particularly my mom and grandma, are all about being traditional and proper etiquette. I imagine there will be tons of number swapping at the engagement party!
