On the other hand, my husband's family decided to throw my MIL a surprise birthday party and to have it at my house, without bothering to ask either my husband or me. They already made reservations at hotels and had planned everything before bothering to inform us that we would be hosting. I definitely asked them to bring food for that one being that I had not planned on hosting 20 people in my pretty small house. The family also specifically requested I make a cake myself, one that is particularly difficult. I probably would have made it myself anyway but after having hosting duties foisted on me, along with getting enough silverware, plates, drinks, appetizers, napkins, etc., etc., it was kind of annoying to have more piled on (and the request was made the day before the party). In the end, it was a nice time and MIL had fun. I never told her about the circumstances of the party and never will - don't want to diminish her memories of the party as just all fun.
Yikes. I would have arranged to leave town that weekend.
