Should a mother of the bride (or step mother) host a bridal shower for her daughter (step)? On Friday I rec'd an invitation from the Mother of the Bride for a bridal shower she was hosting. I then find out the Step-Mother will be doing the same thing next month...what is the modern protocol for this event? Follow.
