I know there are quite a few posts on this subject, but I haven't come across any that quite fit my situation. My FI's parents were very young when they had him, and for this reason he has a 3 yr old half-brother and 1 yr old half-sisters (twins) as well as a few first cousins who are under the age of 10 (he's 26). I have no problem having all of them at the wedding, as well a the young children of my first cousins. But is it wrong of me not to invite the young children of my father's first and second cousins? Some of them I have met only once or twice, or not at all. Another problem I have is that my father has a cousin who has children my age from his first marriage and children younger from his second. How can I invite the older two, and not the younger two (there is about a 15 yr age difference). My FI and I are paying for most of the wedding ourselves, and to invite the children of the more distant family would almost double the guest list. Is it ok to draw the line of over 18 for more extended family? Any advice is appreciated.
