You might have to find a polite way to nip this in the bud now. I can't imagine what that will begin to look like when you have children. He should probably have a conversation with her that starts something like this:
Son: Mom, I know that you worry about whether we've got all the details handled but you need to trust that you've raised me well enough to manage these things on my own.
And then, if she still calls you with things like that, you need to just repeat: "We have everything under control" and just give her the basics, like what time he is expected.
That said, when my kids are packing for something, like Boy Scouts or my daughter's trip to NYC, I start running down the "did you pack?" list. They both chide me for it because they've both packed a million times. In fact, when hypoallergenic was packing for her NYC trip, she said "I packed for Europe, remember?" LOL. I laugh and tell them "I know, but it's a mom thing and I can't help it, you have your inhaler, right?" That's as far as I go though, and I hope I don't still do that when they're adults. (Ok, maybe I will when she's packing for college in another state).
