Sibling's In-Laws

I wouldn't invite them, they aren't your family

If it is within your budget and guest count, then extending an invitation is always nice. Not required, but a nice gesture.

I invited my sister in laws parents because they have helped me out with seeing my nieces. They aren't coming but I invited them none the less

I definitely wouldn't invite them, especially if you aren't close. I don't really know my sister's in-laws that well either and I don't think they would ever expect to be invited!

I wouldn't invite them. My sister isn't married, but she's been with her BF for ten years, and I'm friendly with his parents. I've hosted them at my house for a party. But I didn't invite them to the wedding. I'm not even sure where I would have seated them. I doubt they would be expecting an invite.

Its all up to you.... if you don't want to, then don't. I invited my next younger sister's MiL. The biggest reason is I really love her, she's a great lady... and she lives with my sister and my Bil. Are they a social unit? No... Are they an adult family unit? yes.

I don't think you're required to. If/when my brother gets married I would think it was weird if he invited my husband's family. If your families were close it would make sense to invite them if you could afford it but it doesn't sound like you are.

Thanks for the help, ladies!

We invited the parents of DH's SILs, but only because he's close with them. Our flower girl was his niece, so we also wanted her grandma and grandpa (the SIL's parents) to see her. But it definitely isn't necessary to invite them. Do what you feel is right and will fit in your budget!

Yeah, I wouldn't.

You are not obligated to invite the in-laws of your siblings. We did, only because we have been invited to many holidays including them and actually held at their houses. This was one of the few times we would really do anything that we could include them.

I mean, if you really want them there for reasons outside of them not being tight with your family and can afford to properly host them, then go right ahead. Personally, I don't think a wedding is a great event to get to know someone at; you've got other guests to see, socialize with, and thank after all.

If not, an invitation to them is not required.

I would only invite them if you actually had a good relationship with them.

We're inviting the parents of our brother and sister in law, along with BIL's brother & wife, and SIL's sister and fiancé. We're all decently close when we're together, we spend a few times a year all together so it's a nice gesture on our part. We also have the money in the budget, and won't be leaving anyone else off to invite them.

My parents were also invited to FH's brother's wedding, and BIL's brother's wedding - so it's kind of typical for us and our relationships.

Nope, not family but if you want to that's fine. I don't see why you would include them unless you're super close.

It is a MUST to invite your brother’s mother-in-law. If she doesn’t like you now... She will hate you even more. that will radiate to your sister in law and brother in law in the future. If you want some family drama, create bad blood, don’t invite. In asian culture, this is very rude and disrespectful. if you will not invite, you are practically asking for CHAOS. that is my opinion.
