Need to vent... bad...

Okay, so I am expecting my first baby in October. My mom is wanting to host a baby shower. Not a problem. I'd love that. HOWEVER, she thinks that she will do a bad job because she thinks the wedding shower she threw with my sister was a flop. That shower was 13 hours away (during the family reunion) so none of the bridal party, or my husband's family, nor our friends were invited. We(I) got tons of crap from everyone who didn't get invited. I tried to explain to them that it was not my fault, the shower was a surprise.
Because I expressed to my mother last week that people were upset with me, I wanted to know before hand of any shower and participate in the GUEST LIST ONLY. The wedding shower was actually really well done and I think they'd do a great job with a baby shower. I just wish the WHOLE family can be invited.
Am I asking too much?
