[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is mother's day important to you for some reason?  I'd just celebrate that another weekend. [/quote]

+1 Mother's Day happens every year & can easily be celebrated a week early or a week late. The bridal shower is a one time event that is only happening on that specific date.

Unless you really can't take the time off from work or your husband can't take time off of work & there is absolutely nobody else who could watch your kids the extra day(s), why not go alone for a long weekend (3 or 4 days)? That would probably make the cost of the plane ticket seem more worth it. You would have extra time to spend with your own mom (& any other family or friends who live nearby) while you are there & could celebrate an early or belated Mother's Day with your DH & kids the weekend before or after without having to deal with kids who are tired from not sleeping well the night before, worrying about making the long car trip home afterwards, or being tired yourself from having just flown to your hometown & back again --with a bridal shower & visit with your mom/other family in between -- all in the space of a day. Taking care of everything kid-related for a few days while you get a few days free from the responsibilities of motherhood  to just enjoy  the baby shower, spending Mother's Day with your mom, & visiting with family/friends in your hometown could be part of your DH's Mother's Day gift to you!
