How would you tell her?

Im having my gender reveal party in March, I originally told one of my good friends to do the decorations for my party so I wouldn't have to worry about it. But that I wanted the full say on how I wanted the actual reveal to be. She's the only one who would know the sex so she could put the reveal together, which is actually a box full of balloons and confetti with the gender color that I'll pull from a string that will be hanging from a tree, and it all will fall down on us. Nice Kodak picture moment I think. She has a board on Pinterest that she's added me on with some of her "ideas" she actually hasn't been committed at all to planning anything, she has a few things but none I like, I've tried to give her some ideas on what I envision but she says she doesn't wanna hear it cause she's the one planning the decor. I think that's kinda rude actually, and when she had added me I asked if she's had any more ideas and she's like Ya, and starts barely adding all these random things that are like half- a***** I was talking it over with my husband and I told him with how it's going Id rather be the one to plan my decorations. He's giving me 400 budget for just decorations which I think is well more than enough, it's just a few family members. But what she's posting up I'm thinking girl you have a 400 budget, you can do better than that. How can I tell her in a nice way that she'll just be in charge of the reveal and I'll be doing decorations now, cause I really don't appreciate all the non effort and cheap things she wants to do to decorate my party.

I think since you are the mom to be, and with the excuse of all the crazy hormones, you are entitled to having a change of mind. Originally you thought of delegating the task thinking it'd be too much for u to handle, now you see yourself fit for it and actually eager to do it yourself... She shouldn't get offended if you put it this way. You are not criticizing her, just changing your mind ;) good luck!

I would just tell her that I would rather plan my own because you have a vision in mind and you don't really like the direction she's going in and you wanna take advantage of your budget
