I had this. All of my female friends were far away (plane ride, far), including my tiny wedding party...and the only person close to me besides guy friends was my mom. While it would have been horribly wrong for my mom to host the shower, we hope it was ok that my matron of honor hosted it at my mom's house.

We probably broke some rules, but my mom did everything she could to stay out of it outside of cleaning the house and providing driving directions. It was an odd shower though with everyone close to me being so far away. I had only one of my friends there (my MOH) and the rest of the girls my age were actually wives and girlfriends of my guy friends who lived in the area whom I barely knew (oh, and my personal trainer - with whom I was just developing a good friendship with...). I didn't even have any relatives there except for my mom. Weird, huh?
