[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am of the mindset if someone has a party and it works and we WANT to go, great. If we don't want to go or have other plans, no big deal. 
I don't do guilt trips and if you want to own certain weekends of my year you best being paying me. LOL[/quote]

This. My family has had a couple of reunions in the last decade or so. You should feel no obligation to go! But it it works out to make one of your visiting weekends the same weekend as a reunion, you could go then to placate MIL and check off a visit. Have other plans that weekend? Rain check. It sounds like they are two separate families so not the same people, but you can definitely alternate years or just go when it suits you.

My last family reunion was super far away (like 2 flights and then a drive to a rural area.) The destination didn’t appeal to us and it would have been expensive to get there, so we skipped. I’m hoping the next one will be more convenient because I’d love for my kids to meet some of my cousins. But I’m also not up for organizing it, so I’m at the mercy of whoever does volunteer.
