[quote=Anonymous]I understand OP's concern, about not wanting helpful family members to show up to a sideshow.  You want them to feel like they donated their holiday week to a good cause, yes?
I would recommend:
-follow PP's advice re: color coding things
-designate one family member that you trust as your deputy.  In your absence (ie you are at the other place/in the bathroom/etc) they get to be the communications/decision making hub.  MAKE SURE you trust this person.
-Can you give people specific jobs (bonus points for allowing for personalities)?  ie, coordinate with movers at old place; coordinate with movers at new place; clean new place/clean old place as things move out; get lunch for everyone; kitchen, bedroom, nursery.  That way people don't stand around saying, "What can I do?"

As for baby/nanny, I would definitely ask the nanny what her preferences are.  Ie, rent a hotel suite for a couple nights vs hang at new place vs hang around town vs something she has thought of but we haven't   :D

Good luck OP![/quote]
