Invite brothers wife to bachelorette?

Bridget, on January 25, 2020 at 10:04 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 6
Hi there,


I would love to hear all your thoughts about whether it is expected to invite your siblings spouses to the bachelorette party!
A little backstory..

My sister is hosting and we are inviting a handful of close friends and two of my closest cousins.
I have two future sisters in law who live across the country. I was not planning to invite them as I highly doubt they would want to make a trip out here twice this summer but if I invite my brothers wife I would give them a courtesy invite with the disclaimer that it’s not expected they attend.
My brothers wife invited us to her bachelorette last year but it was across the country and we didn’t make it. My sister and I did end up hosting a local party for her and my brother for people that couldn’t attend. Truthfully, I hadn’t considered inviting her since I wasn’t planning to invite my FSIL. We aren’t super close but we do have a nice relationship and Id like to keep it that way.
I don’t want to impose a party where she doesn’t know many people on her but I also don’t want to potentially upset her. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thank you!

    You don't have to buy if you get along or want to courtesy invite her that would be nice.

    It sounds like the only reason you wouldn’t invite her is because she might decline, so I would give her an invite and let her decide for herself.

    I’d invite her. I invited my sister in law but unfortunately she had to decline which is totally understandable as she lives states away as well.

    Invite her! If you want to keep a nice relationship going, then you should invite her. Not inviting her could possibly damage that. Worst case scenario she says no. Best case she comes and y'all have a blast.

    I would send the invites without the disclaimer.

    I'd invite them to include them, it seems like a nice thing to do. I can't imagine having a wedding related event and not including any of my in laws.
