Re: baby showers

You can google Miss Manners or Emily Post for baby shower etiquette but in general the idea is:

* baby showers are not thrown by family members, they're done by friends so as not to look like a gift grab
* they're meant to help out a new family in need of baby clothes, etc. so if your SIL already has a ton of stuff, then maybe one isn't necessary. If she'd still like one, then by all means have a party and try to take the focus off expensive gifts. Maybe ask everyone to bring their favorite childrens' book?

Mostly it's just common sense and not being greedy about stuff.

oh wow, didn't know that - I think all the baby showers I've ever been to have been by family members. (granted, these are usually MY family members, haha)

Yeah, I know. It's one of those etiquette rules most people either don't know about, or don't bother following. I don't think it's a huge deal, myself. Another one is including registry cards or information with the invitation. Technically, it's a no-no, because it looks like you're being greedy about gifts. You're supposed to tell people about the registry only if they ask.
