Wedding Invitations & Paper

Inviting "family" members..?

My step-dad adopted my brother and myself when I was 7 and after that my biological father wanted nothing to do with us. I haven't heard from him in 15 years. My fiancee and I have decided that he won't be invited to the wedding. However, I'm not sure if I should invite his brothers and sisters and their families. For several years they didn't contact us at all and I thought they didn't want anything to do with us either. But about 8 years ago I started working with my bio-aunt (I didn't realize who she was for the longest time!!!) and after that I started getting close my biological aunts and uncles. 

Now is it wrong to invite them to my wedding without my bio-dad? They are understanding why I don't want anything to do with him. I also don't know how my mom and step-dad will feel about them being there. 

Re: Inviting "family" members..?

  • Are your mom & stepdad contributing financially to the wedding?  It sounds like you'd like them there based on what you said...  I see nothing wrong with having a chat with your mom & stepdad to see how they feel.  If they're paying and they don't feel comfortable having them there then I might refrain from pushing for them to be invited any further.
  • Assuming there's no issue of who's paying, there's no requirement that you have to invite a parent in order to invite his/her relatives.
  • My fiancee and I are paying for everything.
  • You invite whomever you want.  The only real rule is that if one of your guests is in a committed relationship, you must also invite the S/O.
