[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have a close-knit community of highly successful people (duh! South Asians immigrants).  If you also were a South Asian and lived close to your ILs, these people would have been your friends too.

The party allows your ILs to get you included into this community and by extension your DH and kids too.  A way to connect to their heritage as well as network for the benefit of opportunities for your DH, you and kids.  In today's world, the more connections you have the better it is.

All you have to do is be pleasant, ask people how they know your ILs, be humble, smile a lot, be helpful, be friendly.  This could be great triumph for you and would raise the stock of you (and your family) in the eyes of this community.

This community is important to your ILs because this is their support system.  I[b]f they are without a support system - guess who will be doing things for them?  [/b]Be smart and not short sighted. Play nice and win these people over by being sweet to them, inquiring about them and showing an interest.

You are in a marriage with a person from another culture. This means that your kids can be lucky to be exposed to the culture, cuisine, worldview and network from two different cultures and be enriched.  Otherwise, they will be isolated from both cultures because they cannot truly fit. [/quote]

If they’re lucky, her DH. [/quote]
