A bridal shower is usually given by the maid of honor, the bridal party (as a group) or a close friend(s) and is usually kept as a secret from the bride. Traditionally, it was considered inappropriate for the bride's immediate family to host the shower, since it would appear that they are simply asking for gifts.
