I don't think I am going to call (good advice) if she calls me i will say oh I though I made it clear I already decided to do it at the club, and then maybe (if I am feeling nice haha) say but if you would like to help me out with x,y,z....then you are most welcome. Something along that line, though I know I will be met with another comment to shoot it down.

Personally I don't think it is wise to say you can help with X,Y or Z.  I'd say you've decided on a venue and we hope you can make it to the party.  I'd leave it at that.  Don't give her the opportunity to make more waves.[/quote]

Do not allow her to help. Period. Because once you give her a role she will try to insert herself into every decision. But, I think keeping the party a surprise will probably be a mistake because at some point she will be so mad about not being the organizer that she will ruin the surprise "by accident." So you should control your own messaging. You have college aged kids. It's time to be very clear about things with your very difficult MIL and if she continues to behave in these ways, tell her clearly that you won't put up with it any longer. [/quote]

Agree. Send her an invite - though I suspect from what you have said that she may wind up telling DH about the party. Sounds like she can be nasty and subversive like that.[/quote]
