My FI's second cousin is in our bridal party. I was just told that I have to invite the parents of this cousin's wife. His parents are both deceased. I personally don't think this is necessary. What's your opinion?
I met them once at his wedding.

It's definitely not necessary to invite the wife's parents. (Unless you or your FH are personally close to them).

I agree the only parents of bridal party members I invited were my BF's parents whom I've known since 9th grade

You totally do not need to invite them unless you feel it's necessary.

I don't think it is necessary, but FI's family does.

Well, they're only 2 people, and if they don't even really know you guys, they might even say no. I wouldn't sweat it. What's two people out of a whole lot more? Just make sure they don't keep adding to the list as time goes on.

If FH's family thinks they should be invited...then they should...It's not that they are going over board inviting extras..
just b/c you don't know them...doesn't mean FH doesn't
DH didn't know a table of 14 of my dad's cousins...but I wouldn't think not inviting them

I agree with Erica...if your fh thinks they should be invited, then they should be and as someone else said...they may not even come..and whats two more people anyway. There were tons of people i didnt technically know that were from my dh's side at the weddings. but he thought it was important for them to be there and thats why they were..again...just my opinion.

i dont think they need to be invited.. the only parents that do need to be invited are parents of people in bridal party.. and another nice one is parents of your siblings fiances or spouse... Why invite people that you only met once(IMO I feel that if i dont really know the people that are inviting me that they either need to meet the room minimum, or are looking for a gift..(i could be wrong.. thats just my opinion) If they want to see the kid in the wedding, someone can verbally invite them to the ceremony

If FH's family thinks they should be invited, then they should, JMO.

Invite who YOU & FH want, not what other people say. It's YOUR day

2 people can be a lot of money for some of us, depending on where you're having it and your budget.
So, if FH's parents are paying, or if yours are and they don't care, then go for it.
If you are paying for it and FH doesn't think it necessary to have them there, don't invite them.

Re: should we invite them?
Unless you or FI are extremely close to them, there is no reason to invite them. The only parents of bridal party I'm inviting is because I'm extremely close to both of them since I was a little girl.
Do not feel obligated- it is your wedding and you can invite whoever you want!

If it is important to FH's immediate family, I would invite them. Unless of course his family has a history of making unreasonable requests than I would put my foot down and say no!
