Inviting parents of wedding party ?

It really depends on how well you know the parents. Out of 6 attendants, total, we invited the parents of two people (and one was my sister ). One GM's parents had been *critical* to us dating in the first place, and they're great people, so they were invited, no one else's. And when people in the BP got married, they didn't feel obliged to invite our parents-- not even the guy whose parents we invited-- he barely knows our parents.

I've been friends with one of my groomsmen for 15 years and I've never even met his parents, even though he lived at home when we first met. No need to invite all parents...

On the other hand, I've known my best man for 19 years, he was 16 when we met, and His parents know me very well. He's my best friend after all. They are invited, as they have always been gracious to mem letting me stay at their home, etc. etc. they are, however, miserable people and I pray they decline.

Nah! Only f you know them on a personal basis and want to invite them.

If you're close to them and you can afford it then send out the invitation.

I'm not close to any of my bms parents so I didn't send out an invitation, but we did invite all of the gms parents because Matthew is close to them.
