That is a good question...if the engagment is broken or in the case of divorce..who does keep the shower gifts...are those the brides, the grooms, or separated according to the giver?
First of all, don't use your gifts til AFTER the wedding. If the engagement is broken off, gifts should be returned to the giver. If there is a divorce, be grown-ups and divide them fairly. The exception is gifts from family members should stay in that family, especially anything like heirlooms . To take something from the other person, like an embroidered tablecloth from Granny, would be just tacky.
the maid/matron of honor is traditionally the one who throws the bachelorette party, but in recent years it has become less of a requirement. Now it is pretty much accepted that any bridesmaid can be the one to throw the party.
Normally a bridal shower is put together by the maid of honor or another close female. But anyone can give a bridal shower.
The bridal shower is usually paid by the brides maid of honor, or their father. This is a gift from the friends and family to say congratulations.
It is the brides brother. if she doesn't have a brother than she has to choose a boy cousin.
The brides Father
It is typically the bride's maid (or matron) of honor (often a close friend or a relative). But really, anyone who wishes to host the party can do it.
The Maid of Honor and the Bridesmaids... (Bridal Party)
On some occasions there is a mixed bridal shower, but if that is not announced in the bridal shower then no, the groom should stay away from the bridal shower and only be there at the end of the bridal shower to pick up his bride to be after the shower is over.
You would either have to go where your son is to give the bridal shower or talk to your son and his fiancee and see if they can come to where you live for a visit so you can give the bridal shower.
usually yes
There isn't a set time frame between a bridal shower and the wedding. Normally, it is best to have the bridal shower at least a month prior to the wedding.
i have no idea
Give them tiger blood.
Generally the Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids get together and have a Bridal Shower or, the mother of the bride may have one as well. Whomever has the bridal shower pays for it and they have the right to ask guests that they know to contribute some of the food if they so wish.
If the rest of the family has no objections then there is no reason the grandmother could not have a bridal shower for family members and letting the maid of honor have another bridal shower for the bride's friends.
A mother can give her daughter a bridal shower (generally the guests would be relatives) but, it is usually the maid of honor that gives the bridal shower and perhaps coworkers at work.

Whether you know the bride or not you should bring a gift to her bridal shower. You also have the right to not attend the wedding shower especially if you are not invited to the wedding.
