Guest Blogger: WifeGuide on Holidays and the In-Laws

by Guest Blogger of Planning Tips and Ideas for mywedding.com

The way I see it, there are two groups of people: those who love the holidays because they love spending time with family, and those who dread the holidays because their family - or spouse’s family - is difficult to be around. I wrote this article for those of you in the second category.
Remember when you promised "for better or for worse?" If your in-laws are suffocating and controlling, then spending time with them is probably part of the "worse." Because spending time with your spouse’s parents is part of the marriage commitment, you might as well learn how to make the best of it. Here are six tips for having a better holiday experience.

If you’ve decided to say "I do" south of the border, in the islands, over the pond, or anywhere else that would be considered a vacation destination, let me first say: Can I come? I would love a nice vacation where you pick up my bar tab. I promise to leave my kids at home (believe you me), and not start drinking Mai-Tai’s before noon-ish. Think about it. Anyway, there is a slightly different set of rules and considerations for the jet-set couple and their guests, so I have put together a few guidelines that I hope will help you navigate the tricky seas of destination wedding planning.

With all the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. You and the entourage might forget to do one very important thing - eat! You don't want to start the day with an empty stomach.

In most weddings, the "performance" element of the ceremony is done by the officiant, the couple and perhaps the attendants. Some couples invite specific friends or family members to do readings or join the ceremony in other ways. A toast during the ceremony, passing something edible, a group blessing, or song are some fairly common ideas.
