Facebook group for shower?

My FSIL made a facebook group for people who were invited to her shower. It has the time, date and other info on it, but then from time to time she sends out "updates," like saying how the actual shower invite would be in the mail, etc. Then she sent one out reminding people to RSVP. What do you girls think of this? Is anyone doing this? It seems kind of redundant to me... if you already send out an invite, why make another form of invite? Plus, she herself made this group, which just seems like an etiquette no-no, IMO.

    The fact that it's her own shower seems odd. If I were her MOH or BM i think i'd be annoyed.
    I know some people create FB groups in addition to the mail invite because a lot of ppl are on FB a lot and it's easy access to the info they need (from their phone or at home). Plus if they have a question it's easy to just post on the wall of the group or whatever. I wouldn't want constant updates but I'd appreciate having the info at my fingertips.
    I do think she needs to let her wedding party take the lead mind you and back off a bit. My sister is the MOH in another wedding and the bride is trying to tell everyone how to run the showers, the stag and doe and every thing else - even telling them to get donations and canvas for gifts/money - it's pissing my sister off. She keeps telling me how easy being MOH is compared to hers (makes me feel good LOL).

    There was a FB group for my cousin's fiance's shower that I went to last weekend. It was made by her mother. Because it was made by the person who is hosting the shower it didn't seem weird at all I found it really helpful to ask questions, even as simple as when we were having an issue with the one registry. I was able to ask if anyone else was having a problem, and then the mother piped up that she'd look into it with the company :)

    Agree with PP that it seems weird for the guest of honor to do it and not the host.  The info would be helpful but I wouldn't do it myself.
