I say listen to her. The baby shower isn't for you, it's for her baby. If she doesn't want one, then that's that. However, getting together and spending time without the title of shower makes things more relaxed for her and you still all get to get together.
Ahh, that's sad, my baby shower was one of the best parts of my pregnancy, it was so fun. The going out to eat thing will be fine or you can just bring her a gift when she has the baby in the hospital. I would suggest digging a little further to find out why she doesn't want it, she may think she is inconveniencing people and she shouldn't deprive herself of the shower because of that. I wouldn't want her to regret not having one later.
maybe it is the type of shower she does not want....
ask her if it would be OK to do a diaper shower ( where guests bring diapers and wipes) or a casserole party ( guests bring a frozen casserole to help fill the new mom's freezer. this way she has a week or so worth of dinners for after the baby is born)
is she crazy? with these days prices?
she needs to let her pride down a bit, and sit and enjoy it. a baby shower is a joyous thing, especially if is thrown by loved ones.

try to talk her into it. ooooor, simply, invite everyone at the house, and take her out for shpooing or something. when she comes in, all yell surpriseeeeeeeee! and she won't be able to say no! have fun!
maybe start with asking her why she doesn't want a shower....is it her 1st kid?
