[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you said 13 people would be there for dinner.  Assuming you and your spouse have two kids, that is four people.  Plus OP's parents makes 6 people.  Plus OP's in law parents makes 8 people.  Let's assume the neighbor dad has two kids.  That makes 11 people.  Who are the other two people?[/quote]

Me, DH, my mom, dad, mil, fil, 2 sils, Dh’s cousin, neighbor and his 3 kids.

Besides a 2 hour dinner you get the MIL-FIL staying in your house for days?  Subjecting your parents also to them for days?  A DC of mine has a hideous MIL, lives locally, plan for anything is now to meet at a restaurant or stop at MIL residence where there is control over time exposed.  No over for meals or visits.

Plus guest list could expand if sils or cousins bring some one otherwise alone.  We and our adult DC were left off a 30 person open house thing at that MILs so there is no reason to include it for more intimate core nuclear family type stuff at  our house or their house.   Adult DC went with spouse and got rudeness.  [/quote]
