    I'm not as I wouldn't class them as part of my family,they're her family! Just like u wouldn't class her husbands brothers and sisters kids as nieces and nephews because they're not actually related to you x

    If you spend time with them often and would class them as friends then maybe you should if not I wouldn't invite them. We will be inviting my brother in laws parents to the evening do as we see them quite often but won't be inviting h2bs as we hardly ever see them x

    I totally agree it depends what they mean to you. We had our daughters bf's parents because we have a bit to do with them and more so - we actually like them !
    We've known my sister's husbands parents for 30 years but have nothing to do with them - so didnt invite them.

    Also having just recently got married - one of my regrets is using spaces for people W felt we 'should' invite ( most of whom let us down at short notice) rather than inviting people we actually like x

    It's completely up to you - I wouldn't feel obliged and I'm sure they won't expect one, certainly to the day anyway.

    We are having h2bs sisters mother in law to the day, but that's because we see her quite a bit and get on with her well, and she always invites us to things xx

    it wouldn't even occur to me to invite them and I doubt they would expect an invite or anything so if you actually want to then its completely up to you, but its certainly not expected of you.

    Entirely your decision hun! I didn't want to invite my BIL's parents (sister's in laws) and my sister wasn't keen either but my parents insisted that they're family and Chinese must invite family so they were invited and actually I'm glad they attended as they were lovely on the day and I do actually like my sister's FIL it was her MIL I was worried about but all was well on the day.

    Decide whether firstly you and h2b like them enough to invite then whether there is space and budget to accommodate them xxx

    I just read your other topic about your fiancé's sister breaking up with her fiancé. Are the parents still coming?

    I think, you should Invite them because, they are already a part of your family. Don't get me wrong because, it is just my opinion.

    Nope. And I don't think they'd expect it.
