How to Impress Your In-Laws With An Offer They Can't Refuse

Plan a visit for your In-Laws they can’t refuse.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Schedule the event for the summer so you and your family can enjoy their entire stay.
2. You pay for everything including airfare! This was perfect for my father in-law who had never flown before.
3. You and your spouse agree how long the visit will last, then plan the itinerary. My In-Laws stayed 4 days, perfect!
4. When planning your wonderful weekend keep your guests in mind. Remember nothing too strenuous or too slow dependent upon their health and personalities.
5. Our theme was transportation which included planes, boats, double-decker buses, and limousines. Create a schedule for each day which includes meals and activities.
6. Day One:
   When do you want them to arrive, morning, afternoon or evening?
   Upon arrival what do you want to do, was it a long flight?
   Maybe the first day keep it simple and just enjoy the remainder of the day with family and great food.
7. Day Two:
   Have a scheduled activity planned. We took the clipper to Vancouver and hit the tourist spots which included a double-decker bus tour of the city, visiting the famous gardens, and finishing with High-Tea at the city’s most beautiful hotel.
8. Day Three:
   We had lunch at a wonderful restaurant on the pier and afterwards their tour guide of our city.
9. Day Four:
   After a fantastic breakfast, the limo arrived and off to the airport we went.

Tips & Warnings

• Meals - plan the meals in advance, keep them simple but elegant. Remember you want to impress your In-Laws.
• The Itinerary – create an itinerary which includes the menu. To make it fancy use greeting card software. Send the In-Laws the airline tickets and Itinerary at least 2 months in advance via an overnite courier service. This allows time for them to plan and approve your menu to ensure there aren’t any diet issues.
• Fresh flowers – have them everywhere!
