Rehersal Dinner Guests

I am the youngest by far of 4 other siblings. They range from 10-18 years older than me, and I'm only close to one of them. They all have their own lives with spouses and kids. When I see my siblings it's on holidays or parties for their kids like birthdays, elementary graduations, communions. Except for one of them, they don't take a specific interest in me. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying family parties are mostly all about their kids.

I'm having a small bridal party, my sister is a MOH my brothers aren't in the BP. Even though they're not in the BP, my mom requested that my siblings be at the Rehersal Dinner. I think that would be nice.

The question is, do I also have to have all my nieces and nephews there? There are 10 nieces and nephews in total, it's a large amount of people. To be honest, I don't want this to be another party for the kids. Is it insulting to only invite my siblings with their spouses?

The other factor to consider is that I'm including one niece as a junior bridesmaid. All of my siblings kids are boys except for her, so I think it's ok to include her in the wedding party, but if she's invited to the dinner and not the nephews it may seem like favoritism.

Is it offensive to only invite the wedding party, my siblings and their spouses without their kids? Thanks for advice.
