Did you explain the part about the venue? And the STD's is a newer thing that wasn't around when she got married. So not everyone will think that's necessary. It kind of sounds like she isn't aware of what/how things need to be done in wedding planning.
Maybe you can ask her for some help in an area you think she'd do well. Can she research favors? Then she can focus her energies in something. Also, maybe think about what you parts of planning you involve her with. trying on wedding gowns? Moms live for that. Cake tasting? Who doesn't want to do that! But some of the littler things maybe don't bother her. It sounds like it will stress both of you.
My mom doesn't get a lot of things either. She had a backyard wedding in the 70s with sandwiches and beer. But it seems like if I take the time to explain to her how things are today and why I am doing what I am doing she understands and then supports my decisions.

so, today was one of the rare days where my mother asks me how wedding planning is going. i told her i was getting ready to send out our STD's next week and we're also going to register at BB&B (after getting tired of her nagging). She said that i should be sending out the invitations and to forget about the STD's (we have 7 monts till the wedding). She continued on to say that she doesn't know how i'm expecting to rent a hall w/ out knowing how many ppl are attending.
ok, my fiance and i rented a local hall that can accomodate 300 ppl (we're inviting 130). she thinks that you're supposed to rent it a week before the wedding....uhhhh no. she doesn't understand that you need to put the location of everything on the invite. i forgive her b/c she never had or planned a wedding.
People won't be able to rsvp this soon......and they'll probably lose the invite.
THEN she said that no one would probably attend the wedding b/c it's sooooo early in the summer (June 13, 2010). BTW, this is one of my biggest wedding nghtmares! "everyone's still going to be in school!" my youngest cousin is 34, i don't think they're still in HS!
so, i finally started addressing the std's today to calm her down. yay me! sory for all this foolishness. it doesn't help that my "curse" is here to make me even more emotional!
