There are lots of details that go into planning a baby shower. It's a joyous celebration of expecting parents-to-be. Showers are usually thrown by those close to the pregnant person, like their friends, family members, or coworkers. It's all about the new baby and the mom---people bring cute presents and play baby-themed games. Sometimes the parties are even a surprise. No matter how they're arranged, baby showers are meant to celebrate the mom's pregnancy journey and the upcoming arrival of a new little human. Plus, having a baby is not cheap. Being gifted diapers, bottles, clothes, or toys is really helpful for new parents who are just starting out.

Commenters gave the OP, u/Awkward_Nerve6154, and her husband some helpful advice, and she responded in a follow-up comment. For a MIL this crazy, there might not be a way to come back from pulling a stunt like that.
