Baby Shower Stress

I'm due May 5th and my mom booked a community center for April 24th to have a baby shower. We have nothing done (I work 6 days a week 11 hours a day) and I'm extremely stressed out about it. I know I shouldn't be but I'm so anal about color schemes, food, activities, and such. I can't help it. I'm just a perfectionist. I'm terrified that things won't look right and that no one will show up. :\
Anyone have advice on how to make this process easier ??

    Ask another person to help. Things won't be "perfect" but they will be fine. The whole point is to socialize and relax and open gifts and enjoy the company. You won't care how imperfect it was later, only that you got to see some friends and family. If people come, great. If not, fine. It'll be what it'll be and have fun with it.

    Advice- relax and calm down. Your mom is paying for and planning a party for you. In fact, the point of the party is for people to celebrate you and give you gifts. Let that marinate for a minute. Don't complain or worry shot silly things like color schemes. Take a deep breath, smile, and have a good time welcoming your guests and thanking them for their generosity. It will all be ok

    I'm the same way and my mother dropped the ball completely on a few aspects of my shower (it was this past weekend). Looking back on the day, everything went perfect. Everyone was happy and we all celebrated my littlest loves life and that's what it was all about. Try to just let it go and relax and let her handle it. Stressing yourself about things you really don't have control over is no good for you or your LO. Everything will be wonderful.
