My daughter was at college and a group of her friends hosted a "bridal shower" which consisted of sex toys and sexy clothing. My daughter was excited and called me and asked if I was having a shower for her when she gets home for family and friends. I told her that it was the bridal party's responsibility. The maid of honor tells me that she already had the shower and that the mother of the bride was to host this shower. Who is right?

Typically a member of the bridal party or a close friend will offer to host a shower. Note that bridal showers are optional parties and no one is obligated to host one. Mother's never host but mother's should be invited to a shower. The party you describe sounds more like a bachelorette party than a shower though.

I agree and the bride shouldn't be asking anyone to host one for her. It is as if she is asking for more gifts.
Hopefully the "sex" shower guests are also invited to the wedding. This is a major rule--all shower guests must be wedding guests. There is also no more than 2 showers. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
