Rehearsal dinner - trying to relax

Okay, I already know I'm being ridiculous about this. Nobody has to tell me that.

My FIL has volunteered to take over planning the rehearsal dinner. He and MIL are paying for the dinner, but I was going to plan it, because, well, I'm already planning everything else. But he saw that I had a ton of stuff going on (work, school. wedding) and said that he would be more than happy to take over. He said to give him the manager's name of the restaurant, the list of invites when we had them and he'll do it.

Problem: I'm a little OCD, okay a lot OCD when it comes to all things wedding related. I like knowing that things are going out on time, that they look good, that they're going to the right places, that they're getting done correctly, etc... and I adore, love and can't thank FIL enough for wanting to help.  But my mind won't stop thinking that something isn't gonna go right if I don't just plan it all myself.

Please just tell me that it's all gonna be okay. We'll actually have the room at the restaurant reserved. We'll actually have a menu. People will get their invites. We won't end up having to meet at a McDonald's somewhere...

    Your fi knows how you are ; ) so he's not going to do something stupid like forget to make the reservations. Do as he's asked. Give him the manager's name and guest list and trust that wonderful man.

    If you really do have a lot going on and are stressing out about everything, let your FIL take it over!  You can always check in with him to see if the room has been reserved and the menu has been decided upon if you're feeling panicky (but don't hound).

    And like the previous poster said, things will go wrong, but remember:  it's not the end of the world.  I've been a bridesmaid in 5 weddings, and there has been some different hiccup at each one of them - from a bridesmaid not ordering her dress in time to the photographer being in the wrong state, confused on the wedding location.
