Weddingbee boards

So my FI and I have decided to have a small wedding. I have been going back and forth on whether or not to invite my three half siblings-- all of which are over 16 years older than myself.

Part of me tells me I really should because they are my siblings and they live closeby but really I hardly know them; they are more like uncles/aunt than brothers/sister. My father (his kids btw) has been heavily hinting that I should invite them, that it would be terrible if i didn't. =\

I talk to each of them twice a year: on their birthday & Christmas and my Fiancé has never even met them. He said he really does not want the first time he meets them to be our wedding day, and I really agree... but I feel like i really SHOULD have them there.

So what do you think wedding bee? Invite the 1/2s? I don't want to hurt anyones feelings.

If it helps I have no other siblings and the only people invited from my side are my parents, my one living grandmother and my mothers' sister & her husband. It looks the exact same on FIs side except he has two brothers coming as well but they are "full" siblings and grew up together. 

Any advice about inviting people youre on he fence about is greatly appreciated!

I dont think it matters if they are your half they are still your sibling/s if you feel they should be there go with what you feel...Even if your FI has not met them its not an awkward place to meet its not a bar or anywhere crazy... its a family event in a way even though it is YOUR day : )

@JamaicaBride this is what I'm thinking. I'm just afraid that since were looking to have a small wedding with only ~50 people it would be weird that they would be the only people there my fiance hasnt met. Plus, i dont really know them... at all. They have 7 kids among them one of which has their own child, hehe. They are just worlds apart from me, even if they live 45 minutes away.

@Sep_Queen The problem is that I don't really have a drive to have them there or not have them there. Two of the three got remarried last year and I wasn't invited but I'm thinking that because this is my first and ONLY marriage (whereas with them they were getting remarried) they only had a small private ceremony. Its not that FI is against having them there, were just discussing it from all angles. If they were to come theyd be the only people that didnt previously know BOTH of us.

@ing2foru I understand your situation but its not the same for me. Im not close with them at all. I havent seen them in almost a year 1/2 and they live literally 30 minutes away. We have nothing in common and they don't feel like siblings--- to me they ARE extended family.
