sweetpinkgiggles3 answered Friday July 29 2005, 2:25 am: Well start out by Mr. And Mrs. because that is polite and they will most likely tell you to call them by their first names. Start out with Mr and Mrs. though. It is just a respect thing. Hugs n kiss*s xoxo *Summer [ sweetpinkgiggles3's advice column | Ask sweetpinkgiggles3 A Question ]
hailebop answered Thursday July 28 2005, 8:03 am: I think it depends on what your family normally does. If you and your sister in laws family are quite traditional, then I'd opt for 'Mr' and 'Mrs', which of course leaves them room to say "please call me by my Christian name". This is especially true if the people in question are older.
They are your family, which would normally mean you'd call them by their first names, but they are also quite distantly related to you, so I'd exercise caution and address them formally, unless you can be reasonably certain that they'd prefer their first names. If you use their full names and they don't mind they'll correct you, but be impressed with your manners, whereas if you address them too casually, they might feel uncomfortable but won't want to say anything, so it seems better to address them formally.

ncblondie answered Wednesday July 27 2005, 8:45 pm: It's usually best to ask them what they prefer. Even though they're now "family" they make take offense to you calling them by their first name. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
Karen answered Wednesday July 27 2005, 7:50 pm: It would be polite if you call them by their first names, since they are now in your family. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
