I've been married 12 years, and every single year we invite everyone in our family (mine and his...cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.) over for a get together. Every year my mil refuses to come. She's even turned down invites to her ONLY grandchildrens' birthdays, because other people will be there. We keep inviting, but she still refuses. She says she just doesn't feel comfortable in large groups of people she doesn't know. But how will she ever get to know them, if she doesn't show? She has only seen my parents once in 12 years and that was at our wedding. Any suggestions on a way to convince her to come anyway? She's quite stubborn. But it's very important to us that she attend this year, as we've been out of the area for a few years, and the traditional gathering has been put on me, now that my grandmother is dead.
