A: Yes, many brides-to-be have more than one shower in their honor – and almost anyone can be the hostess, i.e. bridesmaids, a sister-in-law, the gang from work. Many people are excited about your upcoming marriage, so accept offers graciously, and give a small gift or heartfelt note in thanks of their thoughtfulness.
Take note: guests that are invited to more than one shower should not be expected to give a gift at each one -- one gift is acceptable.
If you're planning on throwing the bride a shower, it is wise to ask the bride if anyone else will be hosting another get-together; then talk with the bride or consider contacting the host directly in an effort to plan varied themes and guest lists.
