Cancel or postpone: This exactly the sort of activity that has a high chance of spreading the COVID-19 coronavirus. For sure cancel or postpone it if the virus is known or suspected to be circulating in your community.

Not in person: Consider Zoom or other ways to have a virtual baby shower. Having a large number of people congregating is asking for infection.
