I my family, the aunts threw bridal showers. (My mom comes from a family of 8.) I have about 25 cousins, so once baby showers started, they decided that the guest of honor's sisters would host. If she had no sisters, then her mom would. So for me, my aunts hosted my wedding shower and my sisters hosted my baby shower. For a cousin who has no sisters or sisters in law, my aunts hosted the bridal shower and her mom did the baby.

I think it is fine for anyone to host as long as they aren't going overboard. If she is having 6 showers, I would not attend on principle... But maybe no one else offered to have one. It would be terrible for her to miss out on the opportunity to have a shower simple because no one offered to host one.
