FH's brother wants to invite 5 of his friends to our wedding. We're having a small wedding of 75 people. FH has a problem with inviting these friends because he's afraid they're going to get drunk and make a scene like they do every weekend. I've never heard of a sibling inviting his friends to his brother's wedding. My brother didn't ask to invite anyone. To make matters worse, FH is upset with his brother (who by the way is his best man) because he didn't attend his bachelor party which was on St. Patrick's day. His brother's excuse was 'St. Patricks day is the best night of the year and to be honest with you I'd rather not go to your bachelor party.' Fh's father is defending the brother and he's very upset at FH for not letting his brother invite his friends. Is FH wrong? Should we just cave and let him invite his friends?

We are inviting my brothers BEST friend and my future nieces BEST friend...other than our parents friends and our friends, no other friends are invited. I think maybe if he chose his closest friend, and it was someone your FH was friendly with too, that would be ok, but 5!?!?! No way!

ABSOLTELY DO NOT CAVE!!!! Fh's bro had enough time to hang with his 5 friends when he was out St. Patty's DAy INSTEAD of being at his bros bachelor party. Honestly, you guys have to put your foot down when it comes to this issue. We are having a wedding of about 75 as well and with a small # like that it's just not feasible to invite the bros friends....He can invite his friends to his own wedding!

Do not cave just say no. I can't beleive he didn't go to FH's BP. That is rude. Do not invite them. It's your wedding for your friends and family, not his.

His father says our wedding is tearing apart the whole family. (Drama Queen) Apparently FH's brother is upset that he can't invite his friends and he's been complaining to his dad instead of talking to us. How can we tell him no without making him angry?

Re: Need advice
His dad got so emotional when he spoke to us about it. He even started yelling and cursing. It was the first time I had ever seen him upset! What's wrong with these people?
