[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 446051, member: 2211"] Wow great feedback! Thank you. I agree that brother in law's motivation may be to minimize his mothers labors, however, she would never ask for this, heck, she doesn't even admit she's clinically depressed. Again, however, having the reception elsewhere is probably a good idea. Also, I'm not against offering lite fare and beverages, soft and alcoholic, I just think this is just a bit over the top. I like the idea of a small catered affair either at the church or at the house or even at the club, but this is just too much! Maybe mother in law led brother in law to believe there will be a huge turnout. I do know that brother in law can be a bit of poop stirrer and because father in law was an alcoholic, he may feel there needs to be $1000 worth of booze-with an open bar! Yikes! I still believe that for a funeral reception, people tend to come and go, stop in, chat, pay respects to the family, and then leave. father in law knew A LOT of people from their small community and club house, played a lot of golf and hung out there everyday, so I'm sure there will be many people who will stop by. I've almost put it out of my head, detaching as we say, because ultimately, it is out of my control anyway. If H feels compelled to to along with this ridiculousness, what can I do to stop him anyway? It was funny, I told my the story and her eyes nearly bugged out of her head. Lololol. [/QUOTE]
