I agree with AKAtude on this one as well. Brides-to-be are under no obligation to invite so and so's boyfriend or so and so's girlfriend just so they aren't lonely. Weddings are about meeting people and having fun. Since my fiance and I are paying for our wedding we see each person as a dollar sign. This way we keep things in perspective. If any of you brides-to-be have family 'inviting' themselves just kindly tell them that you aren't sure, you will have to see. DON'T FALL TO THE PRESSURE..LOL. HEY AKA2D....what's with the hatorade...lol

btw akatude my wedding is may 25th, when is yours????

With all of the talk about other siblings on the this board.I have another wedding etiquete question.....
Do you think that I am wrong for not wanting my fathers children (through a relationship with there mother, while he and my mother were married) present at my wedding. I get along OK with them, but the sisterly bond is not really there. My main reason for not inviting them is this: I know how my mother feels about them and although she HAS NOT mentioned anything about them attending (knowing my mother she will not)she will be very uncomfortable......And I love my mother (of course) and want her to be just as happy seeing her baby girl get married.

i don't know if there is a right or wrong answer for this one, but here's my spin on it. since its your wedding you should do what you want to do however know that if you do decide not to invite them to a traditionally family/close friend/even associate event then they may be offended and any relationship they thought they had with you may be forever ruined. it would probably hurt them to know that you invited a coworker over them (blood). so perhaps you should discuss it with your mother and see what she thinks, you may be susprised at her answer. the bottom line is if you don't want them their then you probably shouldn't invite them because you will make yourself,mom and them very uncomfortable, believe me it will show if you are not sincere. just be willing to accept the consequences of whatever you choose to do. good luck.

I don't know the answer for this one. I do agree with PositivelyAKA that you should do what you want to do, but discussing it with your mother is not such a bad idea. Even though she may be against it, she may tell you to invite them because she recognizes that it is your day. You may not have a sisterly bond/relationship with them right now, but you don't know what the future could bring.
