baby shower

Do you think it's lame for me to host my own baby shower? I don't have any really close friends or family who would think to have one for me but apparently it's not 'baby shower etiquette' to host your own. Will I look like an idiot if I host my own?

Might be better to do it yourself cause supposedly my SIL my MIL my mom and my sister are supposed to be planning mine but I seem to always be thrown into it and they stress me out about stuff and my mom and my SIL don't get along and I'm about to pull my hair out!  It'd almost be easier for me to do it myself!

Since my husband is in the Navy and we are moving away from the area that I grew up in. I'm  hosting my own before I even know what I'm having because we are moving soon. I haven't even announced my pregnancy on Facebook yet lol. But I'm having it at a steakhouse and my parents are paying for our lunch.  So I guess it kinda works out.  No one has really said anything so I guess it just works out.

I co planned/hosted with my mom. I was gonna do it alone, and she asked if she could help. I'm a spoiled brat Lol Im 17 and I am 1 girl out of 7 boys. But I don't like parties of any kind that are for me that I had no idea what was going on. So we helped each other.

I don't think you'd look like anything but an awesome mom! Do it yourself, then you know exactly what's happening and you can do whatever you'd like.

Oh dear. My husband and I hosted our own baby shower and planned it because we wanted it to be perfect. Naturally, my mom took over and made the whole day about her and her new bf and I was suuuper mad. DON'T let anyone take over. Remember, you only get one baby shower so make it perfect. If that means hosting it yourself, then go for it. Do what you want.
