[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Include her or not, but just so you know, traditionally, the mother of the bride doesn't pay for weddings and [b]people aren't supposed to say "Congratulations" to the bride.  Don't ask me where the second thing came from, it's just been around a long time. [/b] I wouldn't fault her on those things.[/quote]

My mom told me you say "Congrats" to the GROOM because he got such a great girl to agree with him, but "Good luck!" to the BRIDE because she's going to need it, putting up with the guy.

OP, I think that you will have to hear about it (as will your father and younger siblings) for YEARS if you don't invite her.  You'll also be humiliating her in front of at least 25 people who are coming to your wedding and will notice her absence.  Someone was in labor at my wedding, someone else had appendicitis (I don't know how he wasn't curled on the floor) through the ceremony, and my 88 yr old grandma had a cold and all three still came. So nobody will believe she was sick or something.

50 people is a big enough group that your interactions with her will be diluted.  I think you should invite her. Tell your bridesmaids to keep her distracted and away from you as much as possible.  If she starts to get critical say "Mom, I don't want to hear it. This is my wedding and it's a great day." AND THEN WALK AWAY. [/quote]
