   I say no to the name tags. Since she is walking you down the aisle people are going to know who she is. Would having name tags really help someone with social anxiety? I think it would be cause me stress than help. But I really don't know.

   My family is small. In invites my family is going to be five or so people and problably only five will attend. My FI's side of the family and friends will take up the other 95 guests. My family doesn't know them well. My mom has met some of his family at the reunion. She is horrible with anything social. She has anxiety…

   Is there going to be a rehearsal? That would be a good time for the MOG to introduce your family to the key players. I also like Steph's idea of getting together for lunch sometime prior to the wedding festivities. I really don't think name tags are appropriate for weddings.

   While I don't think I would consider it rude, I know I HATE wearing name tags. People tend to dress up for weddings, and I hate putting adhesive on my regular clothing let alone something I would wear to a wedding. I'm not sure how to help make it easier for your two sides to blend, but I do not think that nametags are the…

   I definitely don't think nametags are appropriate for a wedding. And I wouldn't want to put a sticker or pin on a nice dress I would wear as a guest to a wedding. Learning names of large families is hard, for sure, but it's pretty typical for a wedding to have some people there you don't know or don't know very well. Also,…

   Try letting your mom get to know a few of FI's key family members (say his mom and dad, grandmom, and favorite aunt/cousin/sibling/whatever) before the wedding in a less-formal setting, by having them over to your house for lunch or something. That way, your mom will know some of FI's family before she gets to the wedding,…

   I don't know if it's RUDE, but it seems weird. This is a wedding, not a business convention. Maybe his mother could help her out? Maybe she'd be willing to introduce your mother to people and fill her in on how they're related.

   Alright. Back to the drawing board. I was already thinking of having a dinner to introduce my family closer to his. His parents love to entertain and want to host a dinner for my family. I am unsure about the MOG. She is naturally cool, aloof and protected. She doesn't really let people in. Maybe the FOG. He is a little…

    Ya, nametags aren't cool. I like the idea of having the MOG introduce your mom to your FIs side of the family.
