My mom is throwing a baby shower for me and keeps asking about who to invite, urging me to invite girls from high school I haven't talked to in years, relatives we didn't invite to our wedding, relatives from across the country, etc. I don't want to invite anyone but close friends and family... It seems so rude to send an invite to a baby shower to someone you haven't talked to in years. She keeps saying there won't be many people there.

My family is very small and my in-laws are across thd country. I didn't keep in touch with many people from high school, just 4 girls I was really close to. I moved 3 hours away to go to college and my college friends are pretty far flung now (I graduated 3 years ago). I don't mind a small shower at all, but my mom keeps commenting about it!

ETA: DH and I can absolutely afford to buy everything we need so it's not like she's concerned that we won't have what we need.
