If one uncle gets an invitation, all of your aunts and uncles need to get an invitation, too. This isn’t an issue for small families, but with a large extended family, it can take up a lot of the family’s time. If you have a lot of cousins, it’s a good idea to invite them all to your wedding. If you don’t, you’ll have to find a way to make it work.

Is it rude not to invite someone to your wedding?
It’s rude to invite people to a pre-wedding event (especially one that includes gifts!) and then not invite them to the wedding itself. The office bridal shower is the only exception. At your wedding, anyone who helped you celebrate before the big day should be welcome. If you’re not sure what to wear, ask your bridesmaids or groomsmen what they think you should wear.
If they don’t know, they’re probably not going to be able to help you pick something that will look good on you. It’s also a good idea to ask them if they have any suggestions for what you could wear to your reception.
Do I have to invite all my cousins to my wedding?
If you want to apply the “all or nothing” rule, you should evaluate each family by how close they are. Advertisement For example, if you’re planning a wedding for your mother-in-law, you might invite her first cousin, but not her second cousin or her third cousin.
If she’s your aunt, she might not be invited to your wedding, even though she lives in the same state as you. The same goes for cousins who live in different states, or even different countries.
Should I invite my parents friends to my wedding?
The answer is no, it’s not necessary to invite the families of your wedding party. If they are close friends of you or your family, you should invite them to the wedding.
If you don’t want your friends or family to be invited, then you need to make sure that you have a good reason for not inviting them. You can do this by asking them what they would like to see at the reception.
Whatever the reason, just be sure to include it in your invitation.
Who pays for the bride’s dress?
The bride’s side of the family usually pays for the bridesmaid’s dresses. Bridesmaids are paying for their own wedding gowns.
“It’s becoming more and more common to see a bride pay for her own bridal gown, and it’s not uncommon for a couple to pay $1,000 to $2,500 for an engagement ring,” said Bridgette Smith, a wedding planner in New York City.
Do you invite siblings in laws to wedding?
Yes, you should totally invite them to be bridesmaids and groomsmen. The majority of the time, your wedding is about you. Even though you might not get along with your siblings as well as you do with your friend, you should still invite them.
Do I have to invite my brother to my wedding?
When you ask if you are obligated to attend your brother’s wedding, the answer is yes, because a wedding is not an invitation to the movies. It is your responsibility to make sure that the wedding goes off without a hitch because you are the groom’s brother.
Is it OK to invite an ex to your wedding?
If you’re truly in a good place now with your ex (yes, this is possible, especially once you’ve found The One!), and you’re actually friends who even catch up once in a while, it’s totally acceptable to invite an ex to your wedding.
But if you haven’t found the one yet, don’t be afraid to ask. And if it doesn’t work out, you’ll be able to move on to the next person in your life.
