Wedding Shower - Bride's responsibility

I am looking for some advice as to what I should be doing and offering to help with for my wedding shower.  I am from the UK and we do not have showers. I have only been to one since I have been in the US and so not sure what my responsibilities are as the bride.  My future MIL and SIL are planning it for me back in Ohio where his family is from.  I asked his sister and she told me nothing, but want to make sure she is not just being polite as I am clueless!

Any help is appreciated.

    You only need to show up!  Your girls should be doing all of the planning for this.  If they ask for your input, of course offer it politely.  Like my future MIL emailed me today asking which cake flavors I like.  It's your time to sit back and enjoy! :)

    usually the bride has no part in planning the shower or bachelorette party, whoever is hosting those events does everything. So to quote Arteduc, really sit back and enjoy!

    As the bride, there's nothing that you need to do in planning or organizing, but it would be a nice gesture to bring a gift to the hostesses to say thank  you.  Showers are the one thing that you get to just enjoy and not worry about the details!
