Hi all, just looking for views on a guest list issue to see if I was wildly off-base or reasonable!
My partners sister has been with her boyfriend since November 2021 and he lives in her house. She has a daughter from a previous relationship (born July 2021) and he has a son we’ve never met and has never been at any family occasions, who I think is about 6 or 7. The son stays with them one night every other week and I don’t think they see him much outside of this.
We weren’t intending to invite this boy to our wedding - it was not a conscious choice, more that it didn’t even occur to us that we should as we’ve never met him, though partners sister refers to him as her step son.
We have just set our date. The sister mentioned to us that they have booked a family room at our wedding hotel for the 4 of them (her, him, her daughter, his son.) we haven’t even sent out save the dates yet or had any conversations about guest lists so they have just assumed he’s invited. We don’t want to cause a fuss and we have space and budget for the boy so will just invite him now.
But were we unreasonable to have not even considered inviting him in the first place?
