[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 744782, member: 1550"] Nomad, that is the norm. Not rude. At least I dont think so. You have your own family. They are your son's in laws! If I had to host my daughter's in laws, it would make me so nervous that I would have a combo Thanksgiving and Christmas in early December's, make it last several fun days then drive off in the RV with hubby WAY before actual Christmas. Mom in law already changed wedding from 100 people to 300 because her family is huge and she wants everyone there. Her son is stepping in to peel her back but she is bossy. She is also paying for a large part of the wedding since she wants so many people .I give her that. She has no problem with paying extra so no problem for us. 300 relatives can pitch in :) Jumper doesnt like it, but she doesnt want to make waves. So the kids will at least get enough money in gifts to make it very nice for them. I can't complain. We are still only paying the amount we said we'd pay. We gave them a huge chunk of money for their house so this amount is enough for a modest wedding. Period. Athough Mom in Law is a nice lady and we love her hubby, I would not want to do holidays with anyone who is that controlling. She asked nobody for their opinion on expanding the wedding. She just did it. For each holiday at least 60 people are there. Jumper hasnt even memorized them all yet. But luckily her bestie from high school is engaged to Hunter's first cousin who also was in high school with her so they hang out together. She really has not memorized all the aunts, uncles etc. I dont do 60 people for Thanksgiving or Christmas lol!!! I like it cozy. We have my nine or ten. Period. When my niece and her hub fly in from Alaska thats two more. Nomad, I hope you get to divide it up next year or buy an RV and drive down south (unless you already live down south!). If you are already South, I hear Mexico is nice in certain places :) [/QUOTE]
