baby shower problems...advice

So my friend and I are planning my baby shower, theres this girl I work with who since day one tells me she cant believe im planning my own baby shower and that she would never do that, that her mom planned her baby shower and that if her mom didnt plan it then she would of never had one....anyways yesterday I was talkin to a customer who is also pregnant and we were just talkin baby stuff and she butts in our conversation and says "dont tell me ur plannin ur own baby shower too" and we were just like uhh we r not even talkin about that" so I said to her what is wrong with plannin ur own baby shower..and shes like well maybe because im old school but ur just not supposed to...and I was like why not? Its  celebration that ur having a baby and u get stuff for ur baby and that helps a lot...and then she said well I would never say that and be that blunt about it so I was likr whatever...anyways my question is...(sorry this is soo long lol) but im pretty much inviting everyone from my work to the baby shower, not sure if I should still invite her since she thinks its so wrong...idk I kinda dont want her to feel left out if I invite everyone else BUT her...but she also makes me so mad when she criticises me for planning it like who does she think she is? What would u ladies do?

I wouldn't invite her. She'll probably cause drama.  She doesn't seem happy for you either...I wouldn't want someone around like that.

I gave input on my shower cuz my friends wanted to make sure it was what I wanted. I'd invite her. But if she says anything rude at the shower don't let it get to u! Every job I've had there has always been that one "pleasent" know it all! Just remember its ur moment and don't let her ruin it!

I would be the bigger person & invite her. Let her choose not to come if she feels that strongly. There will be other people at the shower so u shouldn't have to be bothered with her.

It may seem mean but if she was doing that to me and causing stress, I wouldn't invite her. You don't need that kind of negativity around your baby. Next time try telling her "I respect your opinion but we have different views. It's my baby, not yours, so if you can't respect the way my family handles this then I'd appreciate it if you just wouldn't say anything." It really sounds like this girl just needs to but out and realize that not everybody does things the same way.

I say just go ahead and invite her. Don't let her criticism get to you because in the end you're right. It's a celebration for the baby and for friends and family to have a chance to help. Whatever she thinks doesn't matter anyway. Once you're there celebrating it won't even matter.
