my bitch has just had her first litter, i was wondering when it is a suitable length of time to let family members come and see them. I odnt want to unsettle her or pups, but some of my family would like to visit, just to have a wee look. When is the best time?

For family members that she sees most days and she's really familiar with, 5 days to a week should be fine. For less close family and friends I'd wait another week.
