Would you host your BIL's guests?

If you had a big house with 3 empty bedrooms, would you host his fiancé and her bridal party for two nights especially if you barely knew BIL's fiancé? Would you be comfortable hosting the fiancé's friends as well especially if they were out of the country?

I have kids so probably no. I need to know who is coming into our house.

I don't really understand...this is the woman your husband's brother will be marrying? A person who will soon be part of your family? Why would you *not* host her and her friends in your big house with three empty bedrooms?

3 empty bedrooms and 2 nights?
Yes, I would do that for my BIL. I really like him.

[Anonymous]

I would. Not sure what the big deal is.

I'd be okay with it, but I come from a very strong "hosting" background/culture. I might not if my kids were still little and had a bunch of sleep issues going on, but barring that, I certainly would do it.

I simply can not imagine my BIL ever asking anything like this...so I can only answer hypothetically - No.

Wow. What you haven't written is coming through very clearly. Ouch. I bet you don't even think you are lonely in your big empty house.

What if you were asked last minute to host, not by your BIL but by your MIL...

Fiance, yes, maybe one other, ok, but not a large group. I might invite them over for a meal or two.

I would still do it. Look, for whatever reason you don't want to. So tell whoever it is that asked you that you're not comfortable with it because you don't know them. done.

Yes, I would... but I enjoy having guests.

I'd still do it. What is your objection, op?
