Throwing your own baby shower???

Keondra
I have two kids already, both boys and I didn't have a shower for either. I'm now due with a girl and in my opinion it would be smart to have a shower considering I'm only working one job right now and could use the items given at a shower (any little bit helps). But I don't really have anyone that could throw me a shower. What are your opinions/advice on throwing your own shower? Is it worth it?? All comments will be taken into consideration for making my decision on if I should throw one or just buy everything on my own.
