I've never hosted a baby or bridal shower before! That makes me very sad. And I highly doubt I will ever get a chance to. Until my kids get married and have kids - LOL.

I've hosted a baby shower. It was a lot of fun. Once friends of ours get engaged, I'll host her bridal shower.

It's a good thing! No stress for you! I've hosted both baby & bridal showers, I love doing it but it is a lot of work...

I was totally thinking about asking this the other day. I've helped host so many that I don't know if could even count them all at this point. They've all just blended together. I'm pretty sure that I've been in a constant state of hosting a shower since just after I got married 5 years ago.

@snowjewelz: I love love planning stuff!!! I enjoyed planning our wedding so much. A lot of people told me to go into party planning. No thanks. I don't want to deal with other people's crazy.

I've co-hosted 2 bridal showers and one baby shower. Both for my best friends. The first one all I had to do was show up and be a host because her mom paid for and planned everything (except the games) because we were all broke 24-year-olds.
The other two I played a major role in even though I was planning from another state!

I co-hosted a bridal shower, and will (co)host baby showers when my friends start having kids. Planning parties make me sick. I'm terrible at it. I can take instructions and execute easily though. lol

I've co-hosted several baby showers, a bridal shower and two bachelorette parties. I'm not a very good planner, really, but showers here are usually pretty laid back so they weren't a big deal.

I've hosted a baby shower and a bridal shower, plus co-hosted many others. It's fun, but it is a lot of work.

Yea its fun but it really is a lot of work. I think the worst is when you co-host and you have different ideas about the party.

My mom hosted my sil's baby shower, and I helped her decorate but that's it! Even though I'm 30 a lot of my friends are unmarried or don't have kids, so there's still a chance that I'll host or co-host at some point!
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
Yes, several both bridal and baby. Actually I've hosted 2 baby showers in the last 2 months for two of my BFFs. And I'm done, I'm officially handing off the plannign to others and hopefully will do no more.
This last one I hosted was with my BFFs "new" friends in her new city. It has left a bitter taste in my mouth & I wish it would have ended on a more positive note becacuse I have always enjoyed party planning & right now I do not! haha it was just on Satruday though so the "scar" is still new.

I'm apparently very good at throwing parties... I have thrown several bridal showers and a few baby showers, the latest was last Saturday.... hooooly gosh I was EXHAUSTED afterwards. The older I get, the more ambitious I get because the parties I attend get nicer and nicer... and the less I love throwing them! I would rather die than not throw one for my close girlfriends though, because of my reputation and how hurt they'd be if I didn't offer to throw one for them!!

It is a LOT of work.

I cohosted a baby shower for one of my best friends. It was super fun, but it was stressful because of the large guest list! I think that's one thing I didn't think about before hand... At least for your own wedding you have control over how many people you want to invite!

i hosted BFF's baby shower. it was fun but a little stressful because she went into preterm labor with her twins & was admitted to the hospital the day of the shower.

Ooh I forgot about the bridal shower I cohosted when I was 8.5 months pregnant. OMG that was so stressful that I blocked it out! Haha!
