In-laws irritation!

My fiancee's siblings and parents are planning to wear costumes to our 10/30/10 reception.  I've told my fiancee that it's not appropriate (they'll wear appropriate attire to the wedding) and he agrees.  He's told them and they're not interested in hearing what he has to say.  We're being careful not to make this a halloween wedding.  Suggestions so welcome!!

Blindfold them. If they can't see you, you can't see them, after all...

I mean, you must have known some one was going to try and do this at a Halloween wedding.

tell them the venue has a dress code and they won't be allowed in unless they are dressed appropriately.

If the venue doesn;thave a dress code, I'm sure the coordinator can "create" one for the day.

You better put a stop to it or its going to completely ruin your entire wedding.

Tell me about it? I mean, GOD FORBID they want to pose in photos with you. Then they'll have ruined your entire day, for the rest of ever.

So you had your wedding on Saturday night of Halloween weekend and don't want people dressing up? That's just crazy...

but if it really will bug you, just let them know there is a dress code that will be enforced, then ask the planner to create one.


edit: They are your life partners siblings and parents...chill out...do you really want to spend the rest of your life as "that relative" who kept her partners parents from attending the wedding?

Thank you to those of you who posted logical, helpful posts.  It is NOT too much to expect that people don't do things that are inappropriate.  I appreciate the dress code statements.  That's something I will definitely do.

Meagann, Nebb, Alix, Katie - don't bother posting if you're going to bash what I'm doing, my plans, or my choices.  I came on here to get help and you gave me just the opposite.
