I live in Virginia, and my wedding will be in Virginia. It would be a major help if she could help out with guest lists, etc. Would you think it was weird to be attending a wedding in Virginia, but the correspondence is sent to Texas?
For several of the weddings I've been to, the RSVPs have been handled by someone other than the bride and groom -- usually one of the parents. If you're concerned about confusing your guests, you could always include wording to the effect of "Please return this RSVP to the bride's mother by [date]."

I don't think that's weird. Mine were sent to my parents' house in a different state; if they are hosting then the RSVP's can be sent to them.
