My mother has generously offered to plan my wedding with her and my Dad paying for the lion's share of the expenses. She says it's "my day" and what I want is important, but also has a good amout of social phobia. She is ok with going out to dinner with 2-5 friends or family members, but more than that and she gets nervious, so a wedding (espcially her daugher's wedding) would be like torture to her because not only would she have to be around more people, she'd be expected to *talk* to them (the thing that gets her nervous).
Cutting the guest list won't help too much - we expect about 50 people and she herself wants them all there. Plus anywhere over 10 people and she's nervous anyhow.
She says it's not important how she feels and she'll "get through" it, but I think that's terrible - I want to make her feel safer.
