Do I invite my Step Brother?

I don't see what the harm is in inviting him. If you want to keep the peace just do it. If you really have a problem with the guy and/or his wife than don't.

^^ Agreed

Work to keep the peace.

^ Agreed. Would two people really kill your budget? Choose your battles wisely. And who knows, this could be the stepping stone to having a relationship with them.

Invite him. Keep the peace. He's family.

I agree with Laudie. I'd just invite him to keep the peace since it obviously means a lot to your mom to include him- unless he is a really bad person or something. I'll have a few people I'm not super close with at my wedding because they mean a lot to FH's mom. Two extras aren't going to ruin your day. Besides, he is family regardless if you have a relationship or not.

Thanks. I was thinking I'm gonna have to invite him, like you all siad to keep peace in the family. I definitly don't need any extra drama.

Erin, I know him, there's no beef between us. We just don't talk ever or see eachother. I've only seen his kids a few times by chance of running into them at Walmart.

My personal opinion...You can't make everyone happy & shouldn't have to...If you really don't have a relationship w/him then I wouldn't really think much else about it. Playing devil's advocate: On the other hand is it really going to bother you or cause an inconvenience? Who's to say he will even attend?

I know where you are coming from. I haven't seen my half sister in almost 6 years and just told her I was getting married. She's fishing for an invite and it really isn't her fault we're estranged. She might not even attend ... so what's the harm (but I do have room for her). Same for your step-brother - the gesture might be nice.
