  [QUOTE] I have all their contact info so do I just call them up and say "Hey, my name is Taryn and I am XXX's cousin.  I am hosting her shower on March 7th and I was wanting to know if you would be interested in hosting with me?"

  Yep, that's exactly what you could do!  And if you want to make clear the money part, you could say ".....be interesting in hosting with me or pitching in for the expenses".  Being that they're young, I wouldn't count on a financial pitch in, but hey you never know!

  I think in that age range, you're going to get more help with decorating and cooking for the shower than financial.

  <div>I am not by any means counting on anyone else pitching in, I just want to give them the opportunity to co-host if they would like.  Which leads me to the question, how do you define the host?  Is it the people who are assisting financially, or does it also include the people who help set-up/ tear-down, clean?  </div>

  This.  I remember being 18 and having absolutely no cash to my name.  But I threw a pretty good bachelorette party at 20 for one of my friends.  It was a house party with minimal expenses (cake, decorations, finger foods, etc.).  I doubt you'll get much in the way of financial help, but they'll probably want to pitch in with making invitations, cooking, decorating, etc.

  <p>I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the BMs for a small amount of money, such as helping to cover the bride's meal, or buying balloons and streamers.</p>
