Thank you for your replies. I'm glad I'm not crazy. It really took me aback because I was offering to throw a small family shower since the couple is planning to visit the area for Thanksgiving weekend. I thought it would be especially nice for the great grandmas, who probably won't be travelling for the wedding. The bride was not present when we talked though, so she may not think it's weird. I hope not, because I'm guessing I won't be the only one who has the idea.
That is why there was a small one for my DD in this area - mostly for those who would not be traveling to the wedding. I don't think there were any others - her bridesmaids were scattered across the country and not in her area, plus I do think younger urban people are not having them as much, it is more driven by older relatives!
I think traditions vary around the country. I just saw the post above about a shower with 100 people, our family showers have always been much smaller affairs.
