[quote=Anonymous]OP - glad you have a start on a solution! Catering + a nice bakery cake will be really nice. I'd suggest too that you need to recruit DH to have a conversation with his sibling (BIL? SIL?) and essentially remind them, however he needs to say it, that you are not the family innkeeper. They are to be gracious guests, help with their assigned tasks, offer to help you with basics (not just for the party - also setting the table, making the next pot of coffee, etc.). And when they are there, don't feel shy to ask them to pitch in when you have something specific you need help with. Future boundaries are probably a good thing to think about too, but first things first. Just because *they* want you to do things a certain way doesn't mean you need to agree with them. [/quote]
