Any ideas on parents meeting for the first time?

Our parents haven't met yet after 5 years of us being together! I guess now its time....
Since Mom and Dad's day are coming up, I thought it would be nice to do something around then but have no idea what. To top it off we don't have much money :-(
I thought of something fun like Medieval Times in NJ but its not really a location to talk while the show is going on. Except before it begins there is some time but not much depending on when we would arrive.
Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks in advance.

How about early dinner at medieval times.. then coffee and desert at your house. this way they can see the show and then get to know each other..

I would keep it a bit casual actually. Maybe make dinner at your place for them or go to a local resturant. You want them to be able to talk to one other. You can also consider a dinner show, like you are looking into, if you think that will help everyone have the most fun.

I agree with Michele31. I had a bbq last summer and invited not only the parents but our sisters and brothers. It went very well lasted all day and night. Whatever you decide don't stress too much it will turn out great.

Thank you...

I thought of casual dinner/BBQ at my parents house (FH lives w/ his folks) too. Nicole you gave me a good idea. I only have one sister and he has one too (he doesn't get along with her) but my aunts and uncles are just a part of my life as my sister is so I can have them over and sort of help break the ice when FH's parents arrive. He also has a little nephew that would help too. Wish me Luck :-)

Thank you...

It will work out great. Believe me I was a big stress ball, but in the end I had nothing to worry about. Good luck!!
Let us know how it goes.

parents...

We took all out to dinner at a restaurant (neutral ground) and then we all went back for coffee at his aunts house...and the next week they went to my parents for dinner...

now they are being invited to each others baby showers and family events...it will work out...don't worry..

My Fi's parents flew up from Philly to Republic, so we had a nice dinner at the Fighter Club and then stopped by the church and the hall and back to the house for cofee and cake.

I am partial to the bbq idea as well. We did that and it worked out just fine.
