  My in-laws were very offended and said she was very rude as they should have been addressed (in chinese )" CHIN CHIA MOO". Now potentially boycotting her wedding.
  
  Question: Is "Mr Tan & family" rude and offensive?
  
  This is really bizzare cos I am sure my sister didn't mean to offend them( she doesn't even know them!) and I think my in-laws are plain petty. But, they disagree and are still sticking to their fort... Torn between the 2... [/b]

  I think it is very wrong of you to call them "CHIN CHIA MOO"
  
  You should call them "CHIN CHIA LO" instead and they will all be happy!!!
