Invite his 5th cousin??

Hey guys, I have a question that my fiancée and I are going back and forth on. My fiancées fathers side of the family is very small, so his paternal grandmother wants us to invite her second cousin to our wedding. My fiancée and I have been dating for 4 and half years, I have never met or heard from this woman. Actually most of the stuff I DO know about her is all negative stuff (straight out of my fiancées mouth).
This woman was invited to my fiancées sisters wedding two years ago and didn't come (the wedding was in ny and she lives in cape cod Massachusetts) and since our wedding is on cape cod, NOW she is all excited about attending our wedding. I don't want to invite her, but my fiancée says she's family so we should. I'm pretty sure she would technically be my fiancées 5th cousin? Should I bite the bullet and invite her because she's "family"? Suggestions?!

    if you have the room why not? FI and I looked at family as, your actual relation didn't matter but how close you were to us/our immediate families. In the end we invited all family anyway due to capacity allowance but I have a fourth cousin who is very close to my family and I wouldn't dream of not inviting her. I don't think the 5th degreee of relation is as important as if you are close to her or can accomodate her?

    FYI fiancee with two e's signifies a woman. If you are marrying a man it is fiance. If your FI wants to invite her and it's in the budget, then go for it. If not, then don't. ETA: fixed autocorrect.

    Why don't you just give either your fiance or his mom a set number of people they can invite and then if she makes the list, she makes the list?
