couple shower hosting?

My fiance and I want to have a couple shower instead of just a bridal shower. However, I'm not sure as to to hosts it. My MOH is 17 (my younger sister) and I don't think wedding thoughts cross her mind at all. I don't want to ask, though, for fear of appearing selfish or stingy about gifts(which is not the case). I really was hoping for a shower though, because I am still kind of young (21) and for me, everything about getting married has been a symbol of adulthood, and that includes planning things like showers. I don't know how to have one without outright asking, and in addition I have no idea where we would have one(all our houses are kind of small)! Any advice? Thanks!

    You shouldn't ask anyone to throw you a shower.  You also don't plan your own shower.  But if someone wants to throw you a shower, I don't see any harm in letting them know you would like a couple shower.  Your primary job is to supply your guest list to the host(s) and give them input on what you would like (but only if they ask you for it).

    If someone asks what you'd like that's when you get to say that you'd like a couple's shower.

    But understand that just because you want it doesn't mean that it will happen that way.  Keep in mind that with a couple's shower, it can be a little bit harder to host if you want the same number of women to attend either way - as that doubles the guest list for the host.
