Hi

Has anyone ever heard of someone asking you to host their shower for them? I was just asked to mail someone’s shower invites for them with my name and address. So basically I’m being asked to host their shower right?

    Well, in any event, you don't need to do this without consenting.  

    Even if the food was brought into my house I'd bristle at being voluntold by any friend about that.    I'm not sure of your thoughts but I'd be picking up the phone to start the conversation in a tone that as nicely as possible asks WTF this friend is thinking.

    It sounds like your friend knows it is rude to host their own shower.  Because it is.  But are hosting their own shower anyway and trying to make it look like they are not.

    All of this is weird.  They should have at least talked to you and asked you if you are willing to do x,y, and z.  Even if all they want is the replies sent back to you, that's still a responsibility you should have been asked about instead of just "told".

    I would clarify what she wants and, if it isn't something you want to do, tell her you can't.

    Two reasons why her sisters might not be doing this:
    1) They declined.
    2) Close family members of the couple (MOB, MOG, sisters) per etiquette aren't supposed to be throwing showers. It has the appearance of a gift-grab.

    It definitely sounds like that’s what they’re asking.  Clarify what they mean, and if it’s something you don’t want to do, decline.
