She’s Not Inviting Her Sister’s New Boyfriend To Her Wedding Because She Doesn’t Want A Stranger Attending Her Big Day
Arguably, one of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding is narrowing down your guest list.
If you and your partner’s parents will be in attendance, they will probably want some of their own friends to attend the event.
Plus, you and your partner will obviously have to comb through your own lists of family members and friends – deciding who should make the cut on your big day.
But even then, the work is far from over – because next, you have to figure out which guests to give “plus ones” to and which guests should only be invited on a solo basis.
Now that weddings are more expensive than ever, giving out plus ones willy-nilly can feel illogical – especially with the high costs of food and drinks for just one extra plate.
Not to mention, you might not even know some of your guests’ partners, so giving them a plus one might feel unnecessary.
Right now, this bride-to-be is in the same boat – because her sister is in a relationship, and she doesn’t really want to invite her sister’s boyfriend to her wedding.
For some context, her sister has been dating this guy for about three months now, and she admits that their relationship has started to become “pretty serious.”
“But I barely know him,” she said.

Her wedding is also just one month away, and she started all of the planning one whole year ago. So, giving her brother a plus one and adding an extra person to the event would be a major hassle.
“Plus, our family gatherings are usually small and intimate,” she added.
That’s why she wound up telling her sister that her boyfriend simply was not invited since, at the end of the day, she just didn’t want a “stranger” attending her big day.
Well, unfortunately, her sister just became really upset, accused her of being selfish, and claimed that she should be supportive of their new relationship.
“But I think it’s fair to keep my guest list as planned, especially since we aren’t even close to capacity limits,” she reasoned.
Nonetheless, her parents have since gotten involved and keep telling her that she should just let her sister’s boyfriend go to the wedding to “keep the peace.”
So now, she’s not sure if refusing to invite her sister’s new boyfriend is reasonable or actually makes her a jerk.
Shouldn’t she get to decide who’s invited to her own wedding? Is it her job to “keep the peace” or not? What would you do in her shoes?
