A few points, OP:

1. 3 years overseas isn't a long time. You and everyone else in your family should get over that concept. DH and I have been overseas for 20 years. Everyone in our families has had to adjust to that. It can be hard when death and disease rear their ugly heads.

2. Perhaps if you stay in a hotel, you can stay for longer than a few days. The party is only 30 minutes away from them. You can do this for your sister, who has attended your events.

3. And most importantly... [b]It's safer to go in July. By August, the Delta variant and the Delta Plus and who knows what other more transmissible and more sickening Covid variants will have spread across the entire US. You do NOT want to give your fragile mother a more aggressive variant of Covid-19![/b] I know you're mad at your sister and her manipulating your parents. But this is working out perfectly re-Covid variants. A party in July will actually be safer than no party in August.

For point 3, there's really know way to know how it will evolve in July vs. August.  One could argue more people will be vaccinated by August.  [/quote]
