Do I invite my sisters bf?

I would invite him they have been together for 2 years. shes also young so they may not be thinking about marriage until later on.

View quoted message I see where you are coming from but on our list there are only 5 couples who are not married or engaged and everyone in my family seems fine with the rule but my sister (including the 4 other couples who understand completely about keeping numbers down). We aren't close anyway so for me it doesn't really matter what happens as everyone who is helping out has thought that no plus ones would help out with numbers and buget.

I think it could be quite rude if you only invite people who have S/O's who are engaged or married - what if they have been together for 10 years but still aren't engaged or married?

I say this because me and my DH were engaged 10 months into our relationship meanwhile one of his GM's only just proposed to his now fiancée on their 10 year anniversary...

I would say yes he is to be invited and like Rayanne said - just keep him out of the family photo's, or rather take some with him but take some without him too.

Yes, he should be invited. You won't interact much with him anyway on the day of your wedding. Not inviting him will likely cause upset within the family.

Its your sister and your parents know him well to be part of the family (not as a son in law or engaged yet). It only would seem right to invite him and have pictures taken with the family except him. Few pictures with your sister and her boyfriend seperately.
Mostof your attention will be towards your husband that day as you celebrate your new life as one with everyone.

My cousin did this to me years ago and it really hurt. She had told me he would be welcome, but then when the invitation arrived it was only for me. I had been with him for longer than the bride and groom had been together. Now he and I are getting married and need to decide if we let the cousin bring her boyfriend (she got divorced).


I agree with the others, he should be invited but put in limited photos. It'll be less drama to just invite him, and maybe throw him into one family shot as a gesture.

I'm with Rayanne, on both points. If anyone's been together longer than a year then they should get to have their significant other there, like them or not. Their age really shouldn't factor in to it either, when FH and I were 19 we had been together for 2 years already too.

If they have been dating for a couple of years I would invite him. Just make sure he isn't in the family pictures....
