In my family the guys usually just shake hands. If it's been a long time since you've seen each other there might be a handshake/one-handed hug combo but that's just with my dad and my brother. So it was a bit of an adjustment when I first started going to family events with my wife because all her uncles and cousins and whatnot would give me full on two-armed hugs, but now I sort of like it. Definitely makes you feel welcome.
