[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what are the formal elements that you like that your DH's family doesn't use? And which of those are most important to you? [/quote] OP here. Thank you for the advice, all! Most important to me: -Using china (I only use it a few times a year, and I love it. My feeling is, why have it if you don't use it?) -Homemade food (mostly; I am OK with a few things that are store-bought) -No TV during the actual meal (though the suggestion to have it on but with volume off might be OK) I am fine with people wearing whatever they want, but I am nervous that if they come in sweats or PJs and see the nice table and that DH and I are dressed a bit more nicely (I usually wear trousers and a blouse, and DH usually wears nice jeans and a sweater), they'll feel out of place. I don't want to tell anyone what to wear, but I also don't want them to feel like, "Hey, I would have dressed up if you told me!"[/quote]
