Ok i just thought it was kinda weird that
she said that she was going to tell her
mom the date she wanted it on....that is
what i thought was rude. normally when
people do stuff for you like that then you
make time for it....hopefully not be busy.
like you said

My sister lives in another state...I threw
hers and she will throw mine..She's one of
my best friends so why not? I've never
though it to be tacky to have it thrown by
a sister.. To be honest i've been to tons
that were hosted by a family
member...maybe the etiquette in california
is different then out there. Or maybe
it's because we have military families and
most of my close friends are moved and
moved often.

i don't care if a family member throws the
shower but i would if *you* threw it for
yourself. that would only be acceptable if
you clearly stated "no
gifts" on the invitations.
