What is considered a lot of people for a baby shower?

I made a quick list of basically very close friends, family and a handful of co-workers and came up with a list of 44. Is that too many?

Also, take into account what you've seen at showers for friends and family. Mine does pretty small at home things, I've never been to one at a hall or restaurant, so, for me or my family (and I have a big family, but it's not a wedding, so not everyone is invited to a shower) that would be a lot.

Yup, talk to the host. Just because she offered a shower doesn't mean she has to host EVERYONE. If her # is a lot lower, then focus on having a "friend" shower or a "family" shower. If someone in the other 'group' wants to attend a shower, hopefully they'll step up and offer to host oen. But if they don't, then they don't.
Also - while your list doesn't seem crazy as far as the groups go, showers aren't "invite everyone I know" events. They are meant to be your closest friends and family. If your coworkers aren't people you see outside of work, then cut them.
