Inviting most but not all of a household

My best friend and MOH still lives at home with her parents. Her twin brother also still lives at home. Her parents have always been very kind to me and I intend to invite them to my wedding. I'm wondering if it will seem like I'm purposefully excluding her brother if I invite everyone else in the house except him. He is 25 years old so obviously he wouldn't be on his parents invite anyway, but I'm wondering if because is twin sister is my MOH I should extend him a courtesy invite? Thoughts?

  • I think you're OK not inviting him.  I'm inviting some girls that I grew up with and since our parents are close, my parents wanted to invite them as well.  We're not inviting the other siblings.

    I think if you have the room and your budget will allow, you could. But I don't think you have to if its a stretch.
  • I have no intentions of inviting my MOH's brother but I'm inviting her parents most definitely.
  • I see no problem with not inviting him- I had a friend with a twin who was older and lived at home, and they weren't invited to the wedding we were invited to. They didn't mention it at all.

  • I wouldn't see any reason to invite him unless you were also friends with him.  

    My sister has a number of friends from high school that are or were close to my parents, and my parents are often invited to her friends' weddings.  While neither of us still live at home, I don't expect to be invited to those weddings or feel singled out when I'm not.   

    So, from my perspective similar to the brother, I don't see why he would expect to be invited unless you would also consider him a friend.
