Hi ladies.
I am having a celebration of marriage party next September. I have aunties/uncles/cousins on my dad's side who I never saw that much of growing up, and barely see once a year now; there is an occasional 'like' or comment on Facebook posts. My dad will have my brothers and sister for company; I am also inviting my half siblings. Is it ok etiquette-wise if I don't invite them to the party?
Another dilemma- my dad's long term partner (and mother of my half siblings); on the one hand my dad would like her to be there. On the other hand, my half siblings are the result of my dad's cheating with this woman. My mum would be upset if she was invited and came, and I am inclined to take her side. I am paying for the party myself. Is it ok if I don't invite my dad's partner?
Thanks x
