Its about being together...right?! Hosting Easter, ekk!
Hi all...just wanted to vent, er, wish for some good vibes this weekend. Am hosting Easter for the first time (will be married 1 year next month). So half of my hubby's family (his parents, 1 sister with her husband and 2 kids, and his 1 other sister) and my parents will be coming. The thing is..my house is a little small. In warm weather its no problem b/c we have a great deck and porch for the overflow. I wanted to do it at my house b/c my parents are more comfortable with that (they get along just fine with in-laws and have been to their home before but my dad has health issues and often he needs to slip away and rest and he feels awkward doing that anywhere by his own house and mine). His family puts on these elaborate feasts that span like 6 hours along a formal dining table and my family is used to buffet-style, lots of drinks and laughs.....less formal....by the way, did i mention we (my husband i) adopted a dog a few months ago that, while sweet, is still working on her manners?
Am I fool for taking this on? Any suggestions for making this work or maybe just for keeping sane? Wish me luck....... its about being together right? I figured, if I host then both me and my husband get to see our families...ohhhh boy, should be interesting!

I agree with PP.
our house is fairly small and we can really only seat 8 for any formal dinner. any more than that, and we immediately go to a buffet "sit anywhere and eat" format. I would suggest you take this app

Ha! I'm glad you posted this! I'm going through some similar issues myself.
DH and I are hosting Easter this year for both of our immediate families and a couple other guests. About 12 people. I chose to take this on because this holiday was sudd
You are right is about been all together, not if you do it your way or theirs.
Try to have a bit of everything, so that way you show that you care. Do not focus on just one side of the Family.
In the end is your house, so you do your own ru
