i think you should honestly have your FI call his mom and ask her to please keep her shit together at your shower. you could even send her an email and say something like "listen, i know its going to be weird seeing X there, but i would really appreciate if maybe you could just ignore each other to avoid any conflict."

oh yeah I already told him he would be doing that the night before to just at least make me feel better! My friends were joking that they were going to have "We are Family" playing softly in the background to help them
