I talked to my mom today and she agreed to do things my way. I prepared myself with a budget before calling her and she agreed to it. I told her that she could take care of the little things, like invitations and decorations, but DH and I would take care of the food, drinks, and rentals. She wants to come over later to discuss in person. Hopefully, she will be ready to start planning instead of going back to the restaurant/charging people topic.

Glad you were able to express yourself to her... and hope she continues to support you. : )
Today, my sister and i were going back and forth on baby shower invites, and we didnt' like each other's suggestions. LOL She says "oh, i see this isn't going to be easy." And my reply, "not sure why, it is MY shower, and I decide. When YOU get married and have a child, YOU can plan both events. Until then, I plan mine." LOL A bit mean, a bit sarcastic, but got my point across quite easily and quickly.
She likes more pea in pod theme, but I hate it! So cliche.
