Should my future sister-in-laws be invited to the bachelorette party?

My sister, the MOH, already booked an air bnb near a lake where the bridesmaids and I will be spending a weekend for the bachelorette party during the summer.. It's only going to be the bridesmaids and I, so it will be 7 of us. It didn't even cross my mind to ask my two future sister-in-laws as well. They're not part of the bridesmaids and part of me didn't consider it because the younger SIL has two little ones and lives 4 hours away, so I didn't want to inconvenience her and make her to feel like she had to come. The older future SIL is very wishy washy on plans, and I have a feeling she would say she can't come or wouldn't enjoy herself if she did come. I asked my fiance and he thought I shouldn't invite them. He thinks his older sister wouldn't be interested and possibly the younger too.. I'm of course inviting them to the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner, and their kids are our flower girls and ring bearer. It just hit me now that maybe it would have been polite to invite them to the bachelorette party? What do you guys think?

    The party is for you with the bridesmaids. These are those you would most enjoy and would most likely celebrate with you. The bachelorette isn't really the time to build the relationship with your FH siblings.

    I do not think they would be offended if not invited to the bachelorette. A weekend away is a more intimate gathering for good friends.

    It’s definitely fine if you don’t invite them to the bachelorette. It’s widely known that bachelorettes are for the bride and her attendants, and that any additional people invited is kind of an uncommon thing and on a special basis.


    Also from a logistical standpoint, you’re required to accurately report how many guests will be staying at the AirBnb to the hosts, so if your MOH already booked one with only you and the bridesmaids in mind for number of guests, you might already be at max capacity depending on what she booked.

    I didnt invite my sisters in law and my sisters declined staying for the bachelorette after the bridal shower because they had work. Im not close with the sisters in law so I wouldnt invite them to come hang out with my friends and me.
