If you know someone specifically that would be good for it, ask if they want to help you and see if they take it over.
You know your friends and family best and what you want from your shower so if there is no one that meets those expectations, don’t wait around and hope someone steps in just for you to be disappointed. There is nothing wrong with celebrating the way you want, but you can’t always expect someone to do it your way.
That’s moms for you 😂
My mom and MIL were super excited to plan one for me except it turned into me doing the theme and then giving them the receipts. I didn't mind, I got all my decorations off etsy and Amazon and they aren't the most computer savvy people. They planned the food and venue though.
A friend may plan one too! I would wait.
Traditional etiquette dictates that the mom to be does not host her own baby shower since doing so could be perceived as asking for gifts. I let my sister in law host one (mainly for church people and that side of the family) and then my BFF held one for my side of the family and my other friends.
No one offered for me, but a lot of people asked if I had a registry so I just sent them a link. It feels weird to me to ask someone to plan with me and then they would feel obligated to take over.
If you’re hellbent on a party to celebrate just plan yourself and see if ppl would organically pitch in knowing you’re planning it. Idk the whole ask someone to help you puts a bad taste in my mouth but to each their own…
