Could you throw your own baby shower?

Next to the actual birth of your baby, your shower will likely be the biggest event of your pregnancy. It's always nice when it turns out exactly as you always dreamed it would be. And one of the ways to make sure that happens is to, well, throw the shower yourself.

The African American Mommies on CafeMom were tossing this idea around recently to mixed reviews.

Some said no way, it's like calling people up and asking for gifts. Others agree it's still really bad manners, but since nobody pays attention to that stuff anymore, why not? But some said it makes perfect sense; a few even spoke up and admitted to hosting their own showers.
