Is it wrong to not invite my sister?

When FH and I got engaged it was week before my moms birthday. When we went to her birthday party and announced it to my family members who came in from out of town my sister got upset. FH and I were discussing the time frame we were looking at regarding planning and setting a date when she came back into the room with a small package. She pulled out a couple of rings and stated that they were hers and her boyfriends engagement rings that would be used when it was official.

This previous Sunday I was again at my moms talking to her about a bridal show coming up and what day and time we can go to it. My sister came in and joined the conversation asking if my wedding was going to be fancy or not. She then told me that I should just go to a court house and have the wedding there because that is what her and her boyfriend were going to do over Christmas break but the marriage license would've taken too long. This was said in front of my mom which to me is disrespectful, I know my mom wants to see both of us get married.

My sister has always had this problem where if she is not the center of attention she makes everyone miserable or does something to make sure she is. I never got along with her and I do not see our relationship improving in the future. FH and I decided together that we did not want her at our wedding and if someone brings her anyway that they can leave with her. Is this too harsh? Should I invite her anyways despite knowing that there is a good chance she will try her best to ruin it?

    I don't think it is right to not invite her. People will be forced to take sides over what is really just a few immature conversations/actions on her part. In my opinion, family should only be excluded if they are being abusive, violent, and if you have zero intention of them ever being involved in your/your family's life going forward. There are bigger things than an emotionally insecure/jealous sister. Invite her, but just keep your mouth shut about planning as PPs said.

    I know it's really annoying and upsetting to have the thoughts of your beautiful moment ruined just because of your sister. However, i don't think that your parents would want you to do that because she is your sister after all. As the older sister, i think you can try to be the bigger person no matter how frustrating it can be and will be. I wish you well for your wedding and I hope you can find a solution to make sure everything go on smoothly Smiley heart

    Be thankful you don’t have my sister. She can be extremely arrogant and condescending. Our relationship has always been unpredictable and when I tried to reach out to tell her how I feel about things she’s done lately she told me she doesn’t care about my feelings & to F!#% OFF and to not count her as seats for my wedding because she won’t be coming. So I would say unless she’s done something extreme then still invite her and don’t let anyone ruin your day. I won’t be sending an invitation to my sister, but I’m not going to let the situation ruin mine and my FH’s day.
