Do Parents ALSO host the Bridal Shower?

My BMs and my mother are going to be involved planning my bridal shower (along with me because I want to be involved too lol).... anyway- should FH's mom be involved too? Should FH's mom also help pay for the bridal shower? FH's mom hasnt asked about being a part of the shower... so I was thinking of having FH ask her if she wanted to be involved...


Extra Info: FH and I have been paying for the wedding ourselves and plan on paying for the RD as well...

My mom is paying for my shower. I wouldn't even bother asking FH's mom because she just would say no.

Ohhhhhh I see what your saying. I didnt know that. As of right now, Fh's parents haven't said that they are going to pay for RD so we have been planning on paying it ourselves...

Maybe have your FH talk to them about hosting the RD? He can maybe just inquire because he's 'been hearing that many groom's parents throw that'. It might go smoother coming from him. Worst case they don't offer to pay for it... you were already prepping to pay for it yourselves.

Yea def... I dont want his parents to think we are being rude ya know. I'll try to talk to FH tonight and see how we can think of a way to ask without it looking bad or coming out the wrong way. If not, we'll just try to book a place that is reasonable enough for us to afford.
