Anything would be appreciated.

Be polite, dress nicely, be helpful, as nothing would irritate them more! ;)

What are you trying to kill them

If you are meeting at your place. You rule !
Be queen of your domain !
But don't try too hard !
You women insist on evaluating and judging each other anyway !
They'll probably want to 'help' in some capacity at some point. Don't dismiss it, but see if you can find something you can do together.
Just remember. It's only for a day or two !!

Vague answers to questions. Then they can't use the information against you later.

Take wine not food and be prepared to laugh at what you may find idiotic have Chapstick at hand for all the lip biting you may have to do

Ask them about things they feel are important and make them feel good and keep the attention off you.

be really nice to them. it will drive them crazy, plus, it gives you control and power over the situation.

Hm... what are your in-laws like?

Nosy, and they LOVE to gossip about me for some reason.

@mayapillar: Just chat them up and make the conversation more about them than you, I would say.

I don't know how new you are to the family, but it might be unintentional and they're just sort of fawning over the new girl and are awkward at connecting with you.

Give it a chance! I'm sure you'll charm them eventually. :)
