I can't help but notice that the LW describes the christening as a celebration she and her fiance are hosting,--"WE contacted the church, ordered the invites, etc."--but when it comes to hosting the in-laws, suddenly it's "MY home, MY party, I'M the host, I make the rules" (emphasis added). Is it not her fiance's home too, and is he not an equal host? What does he have say about his siblings staying with them? She has a bigger problem than uninvited houseguests if she can't start thinking of her fiance's family as her family too, and her fiance as an equal partner in these decisions.
