Bit of a boring one for you, /adv/.
My boyfriend doesn't really have much family other than his siblings. They live about 90 minutes away from us and they try to keep in touch but tend not to see each other that often. I've met them quite a few times and we all get on very well.
My boyfriends birthday is coming up and I was thinking of booking us a lovely house for the weekend and secretly inviting his brothers and their partners over for the weekend, for food, drinks and walking - plus birthday celebrations.
Is this slightly intrusive? I was going to send them a message on Facebook but to be honest, I'm a bit nervous about it. I don't want to come across as overcompensating girlfriend to them but they tend to have weekends away together sometimes anyway, so I don't think it's too out of the norm.
Hoping for some opinions before I potentially embarrass myself out of his little family.

That sounds nice and thoughtful, and like you're overthinking this.

I'd love it if someone did this for me, personally. It may be slightly intrusive, but I don't think it will matter. A nice get-together is still as far from intrusive as you can get. By the sounds of it, it'll be fun.

How serious are you guys/how long have you been together? Have you or he ever paid this much for a gift before?

If you have been together more than 6 months, this is fine.

We've been together for over a year, live together and have been friends since time began (or so it feels). We're very established.
Thanks guys :)

While I'm here - any tips on how to ask them if they're interested? I don't have any of them on Facebook at the moment (I tend not to use it) so I'd just need to send them a random message.

Just add them and say you basically want to surprise your boyfriend for his birthday. You don't have to be too elaborate. Just say your plans, invite them over, etc. Tell them to keep it a secret from him until then if that's what you want. Don't worry too much on how to ask them about this.
