Not inviting Sisters in Laws to Bach?

I think it’s fine to just have your closest friends at your bachelorette party. Blame covid if you have to. Maybe you can have a minor-appropriate girls day with them later on.

I think that's fine. I agree I would say you want to keep numbers saw for Covid. You could also say that because the one is a minor that you guys plan on doing things she can't do and didn't want just exclude her. Another option would be just to say that only the bridal party is attending.

I don’t think that’s bad for you not to invite them! My husband didn’t invite my brother to his bachelor party, they aren’t close like that.

Totally make sense lol Yeah I could definitely just do brunch or something with them! thank you!!

Eh I would at least maybe invite them over for a wine and cheese night. You can blame COVID (I know I am for some pre wedding events to keep it small) but I feel they are going to be your family. Even for me I struggle like you not including something or should I just because I wanna keep numbers low and while they may understand I worry I may offend. I would say keep the bachelorette small and explain to them but say you would like to have them over for a movie night to spend some time with them too. Thoughts?

I think it's fine not to have them, if they get upset I'd explain to them that due to covid you can't have everyone there. I'm having 2 bridal showers, my mom and bridesmaids are throwing one with all the woman on myside of the family and then my future mother in law is throwing another one with the woman in his family.

I think its totally fine for your bach to just be your closest friends PLUS Covid is the perfect excuse to keep groups small.

I have three brothers who all married women, and I never expected to be invited to any of these future SILs' bachelorette parties (nor was I). To be honest, I have no idea if any or all of them had parties. It's absolutely fine to keep the guest list intimate.

I don't think anything's wrong with that! I never understood why people feel they have to include their in laws in stuff like that. Sure, it's nice but if you're not close there's really no reason to. My fiancé has 1 sister, but she's almost 10 years older than me with kids, we have nothing in common and there's no way I'd include her in my bridal party or bachelorette party (not having one because of covid) even though I like her, I only want my 2 best friends by my side.

I wasn’t invited to my SIL’s bachelorette, and I won’t be putting any of my SILs on my guest list. We aren’t close enough for that.
It should be your close friends who you can truly enjoy your party with!
