If you host a baby shower or any kind of shower for a friend, are you responsible for the food, finances, etc? I just wanted to know...

I think you're pretty much just responsible for organizing it... If you'd like to take charge of the food that would be fine, but you also have the option of making a food list and having guests bring one dish each, that way everyone is contributing a little... everyone's also responsible for bringing their own gifts. You might just want to make sure you have the day organized as far as games and activities and such.

tradionally yes you are but in this day and age I think you and the friend should work on it together.

AHHHH. ONE OF MY FAV. THINGS TO DO. I'VE GIVEN 3 BABY SHOWERS. FOR EVERY ONE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING. I TOOK ON THE TASK OF THROWING IT AND PUTTING MY NAME ON THE INVITE, SO I TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING. MY LAST ONE I GAVE WAS FOR A FRIEND THAT I'VE KNOW SINCE 7TH GRADE. BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS TIME I GOT LUCKY, HER MOM AND DAD COOKED ALL THE FOOD. THAT HELPED ME OUT ALOT B/C I HAVE NEVER COOKED FOR LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE BEFORE. IT WAS BACK IN MAY THIS YEAR. IT WAS A BLAST. I USED THE "MOD MOMMA" THEME (TARGET AND PARTY CITY), I ORDERED PERSONALIZED HERSHEY CANDY BARS WITH WRAPPERS WITH ALL THEIR INFO ON IT AS FAVOURS, ORDERED A CAKE WITH A BIG FAT BABY ON TOP, ALL THE BABY GAMES, AND LOTS OF GIFTS FROM ME THAT I HAD BEEN STACKING UP ON SINCE I FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT. SO, WITH ALL THAT SAID, I THINK IF YOU TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBLITY OF "HOST", YOU ARE LIABLE FOR EVERYTHING, UNLESS, SOMEONE VOLUNTEERS TO TAKE ON SOMETHING, LIKE COOKING THE FOOD. USUALLY, FAMILY WILL JUMP IN AT THE LAST MINUTE AND DO THAT. HOPE THAT HELPS. :)
