I want to have a Christmas Party at my house, recently my uncle divorced, the family sort of divided in 2, taking sides. Alot of the family are not to fond of the uncle. There has been alot of rumors. I want to invite both my my uncle and aunt, and some family are upset with me cause I will have my uncle over. (my aunt is also invited) Should I cancel the party? Or let my uncle come and let people deal with it. I just don't want to have a huge fight at my house. Help me! What should I do? P.S. I really dont think my aunt will have a problem with my uncle being there.

Invite who you please. If there's a fight, call the cops! Seriously, if your family already knows you're planning on inviting both, let them choose to stay away if they want, it's their loss! Have fun at the party.
My late fiance's family had a fight at EVERY single party they ever had. It wasn't over till someone was sitting on the front steps with an ice pack waiting for a taxi! The only exception I can remember is the one where his oldest son 'came out' after 6 hours locked in his bedroom, he came running up the stairs screaming "I'm gay and I don't care who knows it!!" ...so we all went to the Pannekoeken Haus and left him there yelling!

I am all for inviting who you want and letting everyone else deal with it.... BUT your party will be less than enjoyable for ALL of you simply by creating this situation. It will hang over you head...
You obviously have thought about it enough to write here so the thought process has already begun.
I personally would cancel and let the relatives DEAL with THAT !!Maybe they would feel guilty for making you feel you must cancel and next time they will keep their damn mouths shut and be happy you offered to have a family party and invited them, whoever they are. Shame on them !
Best of luck in what ever you decide and Merry CHRISTmas !!

Maybe if you invite your uncle he wont come because i am sure he is aware of how the family feels about him. But if you think that he will come then maybe you should not invite him, especially if you think it will cause alot of problems. Also in due respect to your uncle i am sure you wouldn't want him there if he's going to be picked on all night , that wouldnt be very enjoying for him.

this is a time when you should definetly put your foot down. i had a similar situation with one of my daughter's birthday parties. i told everybody before hand that everyone that was invited to the party was invited because my daughter loves them, and she wants to be surrounded by the people she loves for her birthday. and if they felt that they couldn't keep their mouths shut and get over themselves for a whole 2 hours for her sake, then i suggested that they not come. you should tell your family the same thing, a little guilt trip will go a long way. you love all of them, and you want to open your home to all of your loved ones for the holidays. this is your party in your home, therefore YOU call the shots. best of luck!

it is your party! it's christmas ! if members of the family wish not to see your uncle then they can chose not to come or they can chose to act like adults and enjoy the festivities and your hospitality. let them know in advance if you still intend to invite your uncle, then there won't be any surprises. hopefully they will realize that the christmas spirit should come first.
good luck and happy holidays

Talk to the two of them (aunt and uncle). If either has a problem see what they want to do and abide by their wishes. The rest of the gang will just have to deal - it is your party not theirs.

tis the season for peace and goodwill....have the party...your uncle and aunt are grownups and hopefully would act that way in a setting such as this....if you put forth the invite to both and only one shows up you have at least extended the invitation....
happy holidays and good luck

If you want to have the party, then go with it. It's your house. Just make sure the guests know who will be coming(or who will be invited) and that you expect this time to be an enjoyable time for everyone!

tough question...have the same problem in my family but its my parents. for the most part they dont cause a big scene they just make sure they are in seperate rooms. I guess the most important thing that is if you want them both there then invite both of them that is all that matters.
