I agree with you. I told my bridal party and mother that I didn't want it to be a surprise because it's so annoying for them to be secreative and I would reather just know since I know I'm having one. I helped them figure out the date and then they booked where I wanted it.....I won't know any other details besides date and location. I will show up after the guests arrive, I won't be there to great them when they arrive.
Personally I wanted to be totally surprised, but I have heard of people knowing (some even helping plan) their bridal shower. I don't think it is odd!
I hate surprises, so I knew when my shower was with my family upstate and I helped plan it, so I felt better about it. I don't enjoy being in the lime light all that much either, and the surprise one my MIL threw for me down here, well, wasn't a surprise at all cause she spilled her own beans!
I really want to be suprised b/c I think it adds to the fun of it. But I know brides that don't want to be suprised so do what you want.
