Do you find it tacky that they are throwing their own house ...

A family member of mine has informed me today that they are throwing themselves a house warming party in a few weeks when they move into their new home. They are building this house without a general contractor or subcontractors, they are doing all the work themselves to save money. They have EVERYONE they know giving up all of their free time to help them build this house, they give you a guilt trip if you take a day to yourself on the weekend to do something besides help them. They have been living with their parents rent-free, bill-free for 2.5 years while they have been planning this house, getting financing to go through and building it. She tells me today that they are throwing a house warming party so they can get new things for their new house because they do not want to use any of their old things and they cannot afford to buy this new stuff! Now my husband and I had a house built for us about 3 years ago and we never threw ourselves a house warming party to get new things?we went out and bought them ourselves. Is this tacky or is this something others do?throw their own party to get gifts because they don?t want to buy them for themselves? I, personally, feel all the time everyone is giving them to get this house built should be enough but on top of that they want us to go buy them gifts?
Phedre?Jealous of what? People talking behind my back that I am very greedy?because that is what our entire family is saying about them right now. We did invite people over to see our new home when we moved in?but we did not formally invite everyone and call it a party and register for gifts! I am happy for her that she is getting to move into her new home?it just aggravates me that she is so greedy.

They did this same greedy thing at their wedding. They told everyone they knew to not get them gifts, they just wanted to receive money. They got a lot more gifts than people usually get a weddings just because people did not like being told to give cash.
When my SIL moved into her new home my MIL threw the house warming party?it wasn?t a surprise party, she was the one that invited everyone and provided the snacks. Just like a baby shower?the mother carrying the child doesn?t typically throw her own shower, that is considered tacky.
