I really want to throw my MOH(FSIL) a baby shower, talked to FI and he said talk to mom to help co-host because we don't have the space to throw a shower or be able to completely fund the whole thing.  Only thing is I have no clue how to do this.  Any ideas on how to get started?  Besides talking to his mom first.  Also would a homemade crocheted blanket be a good baby gift?

    I personally think that it would be a little forward of you to specifically request that she help co-host. Tell your FMIL that you are hosting a shower for your FSIL, and let her offer to help/co-host. 

    I think a crocheted blanket is an excellent and personal gift. Be sure to find out what the nursery colors are!

    I would first talk to his mom and let her know that you would like to co host the babyshower with her. Then you guys can sit down, form a list of family, firends, co workers, etc. Decide where you're going to have it, food, decorations, etc. Find out where she is registered, send out invitations. I think your gift is a great idea. Hope this helped.

    And my FI is willing to make 1 or 2 dishes to help.  Yes it does help.  Also she is due at the end of Aug so would right after 4th of July be a good time for a baby shower?

    My instinct would be to do a little earlier - like mid-end of June. Only because everyone I know that's had a baby recently has delivered at least a month early unexpectedly - this is not an uncommon occurence.

    The only reason why I wasnt planning for June was due to our wedding being at the beginning of the month...it gives us a little more time to get finances
