I've just received an invitation to a bridal shower for my daughter. Am I just an invited guest expected to show up gift-in-hand? If so, should that be a gift from her registry, or something more personal? Or am I expected to have a more active and involved role? Sorry, I'm new to all of this and I have no idea what is expected of me.

So my soon to be mother-in-law and sister-in-law offered to host my bridal shower. When my mom got wind of this her feeling were totally hurt because she wanted to host my shower, however, she really isn't in the financial position to do so. I told her that I am going to have my MIL and SIL host the shower and that my mom can have a brunch the day after the shower (thought that would be a lot less expensive). Am I being insensitive?
