It depends. Sometimes its the mother of the bride, sometimes its the mother of the groom and MOB, and sometimes its the BP/MOH
Traditionally, it's the maid of honor. But in my situation my mom knows my MOH and bridesmaids really can't afford it and my MOH is going through a really rough time right now. So she offered to host it and my MOH and BMs will still be involved in the planning.
Usually the MOB ends up hosting it. I have been in a wedding before where the bridesmaids picked up the tab for the favors, centerpieces, prizes for games, etc.
Usually the MOH but in most cases she works with the bridesmaids and they all host and help plan. I've been in weddings where we did that. My lovely ladies did it for mine. Moments I will always remember.
In my experience the mother of the bride/groom pay for the place and the bridal party does all the decorations, games, favors, etc. Of course every situation is different though!
I'm the maid of honor for my older sisters wedding and I am planning the shower!
