WWYD - Uncle Remarried

in April 2012 Weddings
So, My uncle remarried a few years ago. His wife brought several kids into the marriage, some older and in college and some still living at home with them. I don't REALLY know them at all. Met them once at a family get together and at their parents wedding.

Some of my younger actual cousins still live with my Uncle and I would like them to come to the wedding, but I don't know how to approach this. (I have been ignoring it for a while if you couldn't tell)

Do I invite just the family memebers I want.... My Uncle, "Step" Aunt and my actual cousins?

Or do I invite everyone in the household?

ETA - They are not YOUNG... more like Middle School/High School

    Unless you're inviting just your uncle and his wife and keeping the family cutoff at uncles/aunts I'm leaning towards that you'd be better off just inviting the whole household.  Teenagers have so many activities going on and want to be with their friends instead of participating in family functions so some of your aunt's children, especially whoever is away at college, might not come anyway.
    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.

    Yeah, I agree with Megan.  If you are inviting cousins, I think it would probably be best/easiest to invite them all, even if you're not close to them.  Chances are, many of them might not even go.

    I agree, although it is a different situation, I don't think you can only invite some people in the household and not the other kids.

    That was what I was leaning towards, but as I sat here I remembered that one of the older kids (over 18) lives at home while going to college. I have never talked to him in my life... totally forgot about him too....Don't even know his name TBH

    does he get an invite too?


    Calling my parents when I get off work...They will know how to handle it...

    Thats a crappy situation.

    Why don't you address the envelope to "The Unclelastname Family" and invite everyone, then see who they chose to RSVP for?  I think that's what I'd do.

    <div>This. Even though a lot of people discourage it because it isn't specific enough, I think it's fine for this situation.</div>
