Ok, you are probably ready you strangle her right about now, but stop, take a deep breath and remember that she gave birth to you! Ok. That may not be enough, but she is doing all these things because she loves you. Just as you do, your mom wants everything to be perfect for your day (which in some way, is also her day). Her beautiful daughter is now officially leaving her home and starting her own life and family. So remember to try to be courteous and sweet. Pull her aside and thank her for her attention to every single detail. Let her know how much you love her and that you really want her to enjoy this special time with you! Tell her you want her to relax and take it easy! Offer to take some of her headache away by delegating some of the responsibilities to other members of the wedding party. Hopefully, she will get your little hint and take a step back and let you and everyone else breathe. If you use approach she will not be offended because you were so polite in presenting it to her! If not, then go to “plan B”. Give her an insane time consuming project like finding you this specific unique pin/earring/etc that you saw somewhere in a magazine (which you already know is practically impossible!) and let her run with that for awhile. You will feel much better about challenging her eager personality rather than fighting with her. The last thing you want is to feel guilty walking down the aisle - and we all know how good moms are with those guilt trips!
