Planning Reminder:
Get in-law ready
The in-laws have to meet sometime, if they haven't already. Strive for familial harmony by arranging a get-together comfortable for all. You can opt for the tried-and-true dinner, but feel free to plan a cocktail hour get-together instead. A brunch is also a nice, more casual approach.
