Guest List Problem - Children not of a prior marriage....

My spouse-to-be has two boys. They have a half-brother (from their mother not my spouses').

We are having only children; our witnesses and the minister to the wedding at the Church & dinner.

Do we have to invite this half-brother?

Answer by Diane:

Hello and thanks for your question. A number of couples have problems with their guest list even with such a small, intimate wedding that you are planning.

I think with your situation, it all depends on how close your spouse-to-be is with the half-brother.

It is your wedding and you can certainly invite whoever you would like to celebrate your special day.

If the half-brother would make a "joining" of two families complete, then by all means he could be invited.

I hope that it helps and that everything works out for you,

Take care and best wishes always,

Diane
