Maid of Honor Duties

in Wedding Party
So I was in a wedding in March, and recently got together with some of the other bridesmaids and bride and this weird topic came up. Apparently, they all seem to think that since I was the Maid of Honor, when she, the Bride, has a baby I am supposed to throw her a baby shower. I have never heard of this before. I didn't realize that your role in the wedding would include responsibilities post wedding. I was kind of like, well if we are still close then, and I am in a position where I am financially able to do something like throw a shower. But I mean, this sounded like she was demanding a shower, and I thought people offered you showers, you didn't ask people them to throw them for you.

What would you do?

BTW - She's not even pregnant .

    Just smile and ignore it all until it comes up again when she's pregnant. Btw, that is not a tradition.

    Ditto Mercedes. What a ridiculous notion. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    Yeah, I don't think that's a thing.  I've never heard of it either.

    But, I mean, my MOH probably would throw me a baby shower, and I'd throw her one; we're certainly the person in each other's lives that would be most likely to do something like that.  But not as, like, a requirement...

    I'd have to respond with one of two quotes from The Princess Bride.

    (1) "Truly you have a dizzying intellect. "
    Or
    (2) "You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. "

    Seriously. Girlfriend needs to check herself.

    Lol thanks girls! She had mentioned it once before while she was wedding planning, about how the bridesmaids would throw her a baby shower. I told her she can't expect us to all work together again, I had a hard time working with the other girls.

    I was a MOH in one wedding and three laters when she had a baby I threw her baby shower, but she was my sister and I wanted to do it. It certainly isn't a requirement.
