I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place! Help

So I'm still early 8 weeks now but I been thinking about wanting to a small baby shower later on but my mother says no because she lives in cali and i love in Colorado and she wont be able to make it. Honestly idc if she comes or not because she is kinda a bitch lol all my amazing friends are here and my in laws will be here (there first grand baby) was even going to reveal what the gender is too!

What do i do?!?! What did y'all do!?
