Um, if they're living in the same household, then it's only courdial to invite everyone.  Yes, it is your day and it should be planned out to your specifications, but think about the "bad-blood" that could be created or spared based or your decision to just let someone show up and hey....maybe give you an extra gift.  It's worth it to me to suck it up.  Besides, there will be so many other people there, it isn't like you have to sit and hold hands with him/her the entire time and be like "look who I invited, right here, uh huh, see who came, blah blah blah."

It's not tacky at all.  Contrary to popular belief, people don't call your parents anymore to ask where you're registered.  They ask you or expect you to tell them.  That's why you're given registration cards, so you can give it to the people coming to the wedding.  And putting it in your wedding shower invitation makes no sense.  The wedding shower is primarily for the bride.  These presents normally pertain to the wedding night or the actual wedding day (a blue garter, for instance).  The gifts that are brought to the wedding are normally from the registration list which are things that the couple feel they need for their upcoming life together.  Don't let anyone tell you that anything is tacky for your wedding.  It's YOUR wedding.  I personally put the card in our wedding invitations and no one had a problem with it.

You cant invite people to a wedding reception if they dont know you are getting married. However, if you tell them before you get married they will wonder why they were not invited to the ceremony. This is a lose-lose situation, sorry.

What are you asking...something for wedding invitations?!\n\nOn the face of it: \n\n(1) I wouldn't call an uncle and niece to be called a domestic relationship;\n\n(2) I wouldn't call an uncle and niece to be called a social relationship;\n\n(3) none of the above.\n\nI would call a situation, in which--say--2 spinsters have been living together for years, a civil union\n\nI'm inferring "domestic" in your sense means they are living together, having no children together

Guests should never be  Required to bring anything.\nYou are invited presumably because your Host likes you. \n\netiquette says you should send or bring a gift if invited to the Wedding  or the bridal shower.   \n\nIf  this is the first public event after the wedding. It would be nice if you brought a gift  but its not required.

I'd say that you'll have to be strong on this one with your grandmother. If it's too hard to say that you only want to invite certain people and not all the extended family, see if you can pin it on the place where you're at (room to small, already committed to the head-count). There used to be a time when you could invite some people and not others and no one took offense to it. But nowadays in this "please me" society we are ever more careful not to offend. If questioned by relatives as to why they weren't invited to the party you can respond "I regret that we weren't able to invite every person we thought of!" and leave it at that. You owe no explanation beyond that. Hope that helps - have a great party!

Well if you are invited is acceptable to go, and the party is not for your sister in law it is for your mother in law and i think your mother in law is the one you are honoring when you go. If she is nasty to you just turn the other cheek, and explain to your children that you are going for your m-i-l and not take anything that your sister in law says to you to heart. She might be jealous of your relationship with your m-i-l. In the end it will all smooth over, trust me from a person who knows.

Your wedding reception is the same day as mine!  I say take the gifts and send them a thank you.  What would be the alternative?  To hand it right back to them and tell them again that you would prefer no presents?  A lot of couples keep the ceremony itself to immediate family only and then invite the rest of the guest to join in the celebration with them.  Gifts are not for the ceremony alone, they are for the unity of the two.  They are for the celebration in general.  Also, many times when the couple expresses the "no gift" preference, it can also be read as "we prefer money."  It's your wedding!  Open a gift or two!  It may even be something the two of you could really use.

Talk to his mom, and ask her what some of their wedding/reception traditions are.  Combine a few of their traditions with a few of your family's, and come up with a few things with your fiance.  It's nice that you are concerned with including your family members.  So many brides take the attitude that it's "MY" wedding, and I'll do what I want.  Including your future in-laws will go a long way in strengthening your relationship with them.

If your fiancee wasn't the one making the stand, then you don't need to do anything.  If you want to invite him, then do it.  If you don't want them at your ceremonies, then don't invite them.  \nIf your guests decide not to show up because of that, then that's on them.\nYou can't get caught in the middle.  Let the people who are offended take their stand and let the gay people and the offended argue over this.  You are not going to be able to play peacemaker in this situation.\nPeople are going to stand for what they believe in and you are not going to resolve this issue with them.\n\nBut since your fiancee has a problem with gay people in his home, then you either need to side with your fiancee or get a new one.  If you are divided over this issue, it will cause too many problems with your marriage since your brother is gay and you seem to be close to him.  Part of marriage is becoming "one flesh".  If you are going to allow this to divide your marriage, that means you do not have the intention of becoming "one flesh" and you will remain divided and have an unhappy marriage.\n\nYou're going to have to choose sides in this case.  Marriage is about siding with your spouse.  If you don't respect him in this case, then you shouldn't get married.\n\nYour fiancee is taking a stand for what he believes in and I respect him for it.  These days, people think we should tolerate everything for the sake of peace.  I disagree totally.  If we tolerate everything, then evil will prevail.  I don't care if I'm called a bigot, a homophobe, gay basher or whatever PC name they label me as.  I would take the same stand as your future husband.

I know exactly what you are talking about.  How inconsiderate can some people be? They are really putting you in an akward place by just showing up but I think you should tell them your house is full and give them the name of the sleziest hotel in town for them to spend the night and maybe next time they will be the first to RSVP.

I agree that because you already made plans, and have preparred for the festivities at your home, he, or his parents, should not expect you to change this (with no thought of the quantity of people at each location).  As couples, these things must be discussed and planned in advance to avoid problems.  You be sincere, without argument, and explain that you can prepare a schedule of when you will spend Thanksgiving at who's house.  It sucks when there is conflice (as I am experiencing the same this year), but all you can do is try and be the adult. Good luck.

I think you should invite all family and if there not adult enough to let things go foe a nice fam event tell them not too come , they may not even come , but the invite in a nice thing and either way might make it easier to see you nephew, forgiveness is one of the hardest to do but it is one of the best , remember good comes form good how can it be bad , good on you for thinking this and being the bigger person , good luck

i think the way you are going about it is fine. \nit's rude to just state it in the invitations, much better to spread it by word-of-mouth.\ni would think that people would rather give money instead of buying you something that you'll never use.

Do it anyway you feel comfortable and can afford. Unless you have children. Then please do it quietly and discreetly.  I am getting sick and tired of attending weddings where the kids are in the ceremony.
