    I already have a Mom and a Dad, so definitely first names.

    I agree. When I first meet FI parents it was in high school and they have always been Mr. & Mrs. to me. I tried switching over to their first names but when it came out, it sounded so weird! I feel awkward calling them Mr. & Mrs. at the wedding so I need to get used to this, I guess.

    I started calling them Mom and Dad once we got engaged. It was definitely weird. It's been a year and I'm sort of getting better.

    I have always called my in-laws by their first names and will continue to after we are married. We have a good, but wierd relationship though, I am just not comfortable with "mom" & "dad".

    My FMIL cutely referred to herself in an email as "Mama Scott," once, so I use that for cards and stuff... but in person I call them by their names.

    I keep asking FI about this.  He calls my parents Mr & Mrs.  I call his mom by her first name and his dad Mr.  I know his dad doesnt want to be called Mr, but I'm not comfortable calling him dad and he and FI have the same first name!  Eventually I'll probably just ask them bluntly what they want to be called.

    Good question demarcos!

    I've been calling them mom and dad a while now even before we got engaged. Fi's stepmom is the one that said i could call her that so i started to and its not weird. I call his grandma "grandma" If they feel comfortable with me saying it then i feel comfortable. Plus i call my mom "mama, or ma" and my dad i call dad. Fi calls my mom mom and my dad by his first name.

    I don't think I will ever be able to call them mom and dad. I call them by their first name, and it works for us.  I used to call them Mr and Mrs, but after we got engaged I switched.

    I am sorry but I already have a mama! lol. However, I don't know if I will do first name basis or continue to call her Mrs. XXXX..... I just feel like she isn't my mother, didn't raise me, and didn't sacrifice for me. Maybe that's a bit intense, but hey! I am cracking up at you NJGAL26.....your "other name for your MIL in private" comment was hilarious. A big smile flashed across my face. Laughing
