Ok for someone other than MOB to host Bridal Shower?

My fiance's mom and my mom are throwing a joint Bridal Shower for me but my fiance's mom completely took over. On the invites she only put her name as the RSVP contact and then sent them out without even telling my mom that she sent them. I'm trying to not let it bother me but it bugs me that people are going to wonder why my mom seems to have nothing to do with planning of the shower. FI's mom even has people designated to decorate(they volunteered), and my mom knows nothing about it. So what I'm getting at is... Is it alright that someone other than my mom is throwing the wedding shower or is that a semi-normal thing?

    It's etiquette that the moms don't throw the shower -- typically it's the bridal party.  But, clearly your FMIL is a rude control-freak.  Good luck with that! I think it's up to your mom to confront her about it and ask why she didn't include her on the invitations, planning, etc.  I suggest you stay out of it and let the moms deal with it.  Your shower should be the least of your worries.

    Normally my FMIL is the best person ever. All my friends are jealous.  lol But for some reason she kind of took over this. My mom is going to talk to her and I'm going to try and forget about it.  :)

    My bm's are hosting. I would let your mom handle it. If they are both equally paying for the shower and your mom has been equally involved in the planning, then she should have been on the RSVP info and be included on all the final decisions.
