Here's the thing, we recently bought our first home, and moved in (meaning that we moved the bed in) last night. My MIL and SIL have decided to come up for the weekend...because this is when it fits in their schedules. That being said, we have to move everything on Friday, and we have to prep for overnight guests in the meantime. On top of it all, they have never been to visit...we're feeling a lot of pressure here.
What are the major things we should have ready so that they feel comfortable? All that comes to mind for me is a lot of alcohol.
Re: MIL Overnight...1st Time
Have you (meaning you and your DH) expressed to them that this weekend is a moving-into-your-new-home weekend? If so, and they still insist on coming, I would prepare an air mattress at most. And as for entertainment, they can either help you move in or be on their own.
Yes, lots of alcohol is a must!

Why do they get to decide when it's okay to come over your place - without any invitation?
I'd say, "Sorry MIL and SIL, that date just won't work for us." or as ECB mentioned by suggesting they help unpack rather than you entertaining them.
Sara, Friend?
glove slap. I don't take crap.
