Bachelorette Party Advice - Should I invite my future sister in law

So my future sister in law previously had a substance abuse problem. This is before I met her - and to be honest, we are not close at all. I'm concerned as this is supposed to be a night I can let loose, and I feel like if she is invited, I am going to be walking on eggshells watching her as we plan to go to a club. None of the other ladies invited know her, so I would be the only familiar face. What should I do?! Any and all advice is appreciated!

    Ask FH, who else?

    If you don't have a relationship with her I don't see the problem in not inviting her. I won't be inviting my FSIL. (Although, they are 15 years older than me with families and live hours away)

    I always thought the BP was for your friends anyway?

    I didn't invite anyone except my bridal party, and I think this was the best decision. I wanted to be able to relax and just have a let loose weekend as well, and inviting too many people (or people you are not comfortable with) would have made everything feel more forced and awkward. I did not invite my FSIL, and as far as I know she was not hurt by the decision at all.

    Would you invite her if not for the substance abuse issue? if yes, i would invite her and let her handle it herself. i'm sure it wouldn't be the first time she has been in situations where others were drinking.

    I wouldn't invite her based on the fact that you guys aren't close, not based on her past issues.

    Is she part of your wedding party?

    You don't have to invite her if she is not.

    Ask FH first see what he says. She may have a handle on it. But if your not close why are you inviting her?

    If you aren't close with her and really don't have a relationship with her, I would not invite her.

    For mine it is only the wedding party and my sisters. None of FH's sisters- even though I don't have any problems with them.
