Ask your mother which she would prefer. It's her birthday. If she wants a big party, go for it. Explain to your sibling this is for Mom and not to ruin her day. Your doing the work. I am assuming you are also paying. You get to make the decisions. If Mom knows the family situation and doesn't want to be bothered with a big party. A quiet small celebration somewhere is great. I am assuming she is mentally with it. If not, why go through all of this if she won't understand it's her birthday party.
