Do I have to invite my sister

I am not inviting a close family member because of their drug addiction as well. I set up boundaries for myself and hopefully your mom and sister understand it's not as punishment but out of love.

Ya you probably should, but ask your parents or another sibling to keep an eye on her. If she makes a scene she gets booted. Chances are she won't come

You don't have to invite anyone you don't want to! Its your wedding!

Nope I'm not inviting my brother and he lives with my mom. My mom is invited he is not.

If you don't want to invite her, then don't! You don't need to invite anyone that you don't want to! Stick up for what you believe in

Do you and I have the same sister lol!!! I'm going through this as well and as of now she has been removed from the guest list. I told my FH that she will not be a thought unless she gets help AGAIN. It's your wedding you invite who you want!

If your sister's daughter is your flower girl, I kinda think you may have to invite her. I think that's what your original post is saying, but if not, I agree with the above.

Don't invite anyone you don't want to invite. If you're going to be worrying about her your whole wedding day I don't think it's worth inviting her!

I would have said absolutely no, until I saw that her daughter is your flower girl. Don't invite her if you don't want, totally your call and totally understandable. I didn't invite my cousin for the same reason, but he ended up in jail before the wedding so it wasn't a problem. I will just say, be prepared for her to try and pull her daughter out of the wedding if she isn't invited. Something to consider.

I wouldn't .... my brother hates me for not inviting him to other important events but I been there done that with him his drugs are more important and he makes a scene I'm a 10 year recovered addict and he uses my past to try to get me to "understand" him .... Well I do and that's why I wouldnt

Unless she doesn't have custody of her daughter, you are going to have to pick: invite her and have the kid as your flower girl, or don't invite her and the kid isn't there either.

If you don't have a relationship then you don't have to invite her. Not inviting a close relative to your wedding can be kind of like the nail in the coffin for your relationship. If you are ok with that, then don't invite. If you think the relationship is salvageable, invite her.

I'm not inviting my sister because she is explosive and unstable. She's ruined every special event in my life, I don't get any do-overs for my wedding. It's not worth taking a chance.

Nope, you don't have to invite her. Follow your gut and do what feels right to you!

Nope.

My brother isn't a drug addict he is just not a very nice person... the last family event we were at together he got drunk and screamed at his poor child's mother in front of everyone until she was inconsolably sobbing ... that was my last straw with him definitely not the first bad experience... he isn't invited .. I don't want that type of energy on my wedding day

If you don't want to invite her you don't have to.

My sister is also an addict. I have had full custody of her kids for 5 years now. She is not invited. She has never even met my FH. You don't have to invite your sister!!

Hard nope from me. I wouldn't want to spend my wedding day worrying about someone like this causing a scene and getting kicked out. You are by no means obligated to invite anyone that you don't want to.

I do hope the flower girl situation works out!

I have a sister who is a violent alcoholic. Every time we had any kind of family event or holiday that wasn't all about her she would make a big scene to make sure it was. Most of the time she was drunk bc she hides her booze in decoy containers and once I even seen her put it in her kids sippy cup.

This sister is not invited to my wedding. We spend entirely too much money on this day for it be ruined by selfish siblings. I say no invite.
