[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps you could share hosting duties w/one of her other friends or family members.

That would be a perfect way to cut co$ts.
If you have to sacrifice a birthday party for yourself - then it wouldn’t be worth it.

A good friend would certainly agree.[/quote]

This.  If the list is 40 people just see if you can get 2-3 more people to help host.  Tell your pregnant friend you cannot plan the event alone and can she recommend a few people to ask.  When I was pregnant my sister (who lived 2 hours away)  approached a friend to ask if we could have it at her house.  My mother and sister brought all the food and drinks.  It was a weekend brunch (11-1).  Super easy, food included quiches, salads, fruits, desserts.  Had about 20 people.  Very nice.

40 is an insane amount of people for a baby shower.

Cheap places:  someone’s house, church fellowship hall, rec center rooms, rent an air bnb for a day, social club (maybe someone is a member who is in the guest list), party rooms in apartment, condo or office building.
