[quote=Anonymous]Buy a new christening gown that you want to pass down in your family so you don't have that argument with them.

If you or DH have strong ties to your university or another locale you could try to make it work there. I think your stressed will follow you - everyone will be at the same hotel, trying to get their time with GC in and in cramped spaces.

I would schedule when it works for you regardless of grandparents schedules. When you send an email with the details include your intention for the weekend. On Friday night we will have a BBQ at our house - anyone in town is welcome to join us. Saturday we will be doing X and Sunday we will be doing Y. Then it is set and they can't easily change or add their own events.

As stressful as it is I would just force yourself to go through it. They all have the expectation it will be like the last two and if you change it you will likely still have the same stressors and on top of that dealing with the constant comments and/or hurt feelings about why it is being done differently than the others.

Or maybe find tickets to separate events to gift thr grandparents to while they are in town to keep them out of your hair for a few hours each! Ha![/quote]
