Belle turns 2 on May 31, the average person wouldn't plan it out now. I had a talk with dh tonight. Basically, I want a small simple party. And short... Dh agrees, BUT....with the way our family is, to just have imidiate family, both side equal over 65 people. WHAT DO WE DO???? We dont have the money or the desire to do this. Oh my, it's going to be her baptism party all over again. 150-160 people at a catered event. I can't and will not do it!!!! We cant afford it, and even if we could, I STILL WOULDN'T!

What do I do? I can only think of throwing 4 different parties, one for my family, one for dh's family & friends, one for my other family (my parents are divorced) and one for our friends.

Thats way too much. its stupid. I can't deal with this. dh's sister and dad called today telling us they have family flying in from Chicago for her b-day...what the hell??? I've never met these people. They weren't at my wedding, and I thought his parents invited half the continent!

Please help ladies, I will go crazy. I need chat.

Traci, lol at the wedding comment, I'm going to encourage her to elope!!!

I know, I don't want to, and can't do a party like that again. I REFUSE!!!! I just need a way to get it out of fil's head, and get him to stop inviting people.

Lesley just tell him the truth...that you simply cannot afford to. He will either have to back off or pay for it. kwim? He sounds well meaning though...I wish my kids had grandparents that were a little more involved....well not like yours! lol
