    We are wanting to invite my partners Biological Mum (hes adopted) and her husband and his 2 half sibling! Which we are doing no matter what and don't feel there would be any problems with this. But having discussed it we both really rather want his biological grandparents there as neither of us have grandparents still alive , but they are divorced and his gran is remarried but we are not inviting people we don't know and don't know whether is just being them and hus mum and co would be awkward! So we thought invite his other aunties but again not their partners which means 1 most likely won't come as she lives in portugal and only met briefly as his other aunts wedding . So it would mean extra 4 people to the day, and then invite partners and cousins to the evening doo!

    But im worried inviting this many of his biological family will upset his adopted family and r confuse his extended family !
    Eg , his adopted cousin meets his biological half sister "hi im ..... Adams cousin , how do you know the happy couple?" __ "oh im adams sister" *aunty C and uncle R adopted another kid???*

    Well tbh you have to draw a line somewhere and for id stop at the grandparents but If your were doing aunts etc i personally wouldn't invite an aunt without the uncle/ partner x

    Definitely agree with the others hun, I'd stop at grandparents but if you are inviting more, I wouldn't invite one without the partner etc. and would definitely speak to everyone involved to see how they feel about it all xxx

    We are inviting some if our friends without partners as we don't know them and they are fine with it as we don't want strangers there, thing is he really wants to invite one of the auntys as she was really affected by the adpotion and was really happy and welcoming when he reconected with his mun, and the other aunty invited us to the evening doo and wanted us at the day but her dad was not sure for the same reasons above, worried about people asking who we are, and having to explain!

    I think your h2b should speak to his family about how he feels abs how they feel and then take it from there. X

    I agree with everyone on here; you just need to draw the line and discuss it with your h2b. I can understand not wanting partners to be there if you don't know them :)
