[quote=Anonymous]If your in laws won't come to your 1st party, and it is causing a rift on DH's side of the family, by all means, have a 2nd, more accessible, grandparent-friendly event, but let them host it. As your kid gets older, make it clear that you have a party (possibly with her input) and you have a tradition of also doing a nice dinner or a visit with grandma. My mother is notorious for standing us up for a multitude of reasons on my children's birthdays. When we see her, she acts like the birthday party (laser tag, bowling, whatever) didn't happen and "now we need to celebrate". I tell her that sounds great. Be sure to order pizza and pick up a cake, because I did that all weeks ago. If you shift the parties (and have 1) to a different town, your kid isn't making memories in her own home and her own community, and that's a loss.[/quote]
