Same with my mom - she had noooo problem with that type of shower for my brother and his wife. Her mom? She was amazed there was even such a thing, let alone that my mom was going to accomodate their wishes. So my SIL had not one, not two, or three, or even four showers... she had FIVE showers. Her mom went to all 5 and gave HUGE gifts at all the showers. Showing off much? (don't ask how one woman can have 5 showers... she did!)

I just went to my cousin's shower just like the one you want (she had her baby yesterday by the way ) and it was nice. Only problem was that men stayed outside and the woman stayed inside. It became like a traditional baby shower and then men might as well NOT ben there for all we saw of them

I hope your MIL can comprimise. And kick Josh in the beeeehind and tell him to stand up to mom! You can tell him I said so!
