Bridal Shower Dilemma

I have just over 3 months until my wedding day and I haven't heard word of a bridal shower from any of my 4 bridesmaids! My schedule is pretty strict and they all know that they would need to check with me on a date. I know that I should be having a shower soon-ish but I don't know how to bring it up with them. I feel awkward having to ask someone to throw a party for me but I feel like if I don't, I might not get a shower!  
I talked with my mom and said she would be more than happy to help plan one, but I have read that it is a faux pas of sorts to have her invite people to give her daughter gifts. I even told my MOH that my mom would help cohost it so that it wouldn't be as costly. Still nothing.
I hate worrying about this, I just don't know how to bring it up with out the conversation instantly becoming weird.  

Advice?

    I wouldn't worry about making a faux pas, your bridesmaids should know that they need to host this! I would go to your maid of honor and just express your concern about dates. Just say, hey my schedule is crazy, and I wanted to check on which date you guys are thinking for a bridal shower. If for some reason she hasn't started planning, this will be a good starting place. If there is a reason she hasn't started, you also might see if you can help in any way. Perhaps the bridesmaids are not able to afford the party? Then connect them with your mom and MIL.

    I'd be bummed out too if I were in your situation, but Bridal Showers aren't required. And, there's no way to politely ask someone to throw you one. If someone wants to host a shower for you, they will. It sounds like you've already briefly discussed this with your MOH, so I'd say the ball is in their court now.
