I was blessed enough to have four baby showers, between friends, my family, husband's family, and work. The family ones were "officially" hosted by my mom's best friend (while a good portion of the effort was done by my mom) and my mother-in-law, but the attendance overlapped between all of them aside from the work one. I just appreciated parties where I could show up and see people, and not have to arrange the gatherings myself.
Following "understood" society rules requires some weird contortions sometimes.
