I would recommend taking control of the visits and perhaps inviting his family over every once in a while, on your terms, giving both of you ample time to get ready. It sounds like they're going to try to come anyway, you may as well be in control of when they do.

On that note, try to see it from their perspective as well. They aren't visiting to bug you, they're visiting their son/brother...and his gf. It might take some getting used to on their part that he's not just their son anymore, but part of a couple, and that's something you might be able to help them understand.
