I know we’ve had the same thread before but I’m hurting.

In-laws have known my 24 year old since they were 7 I.e. longer than they’ve known my youngest son.

Two of partner’s nieces are getting married. DP and I are invited with my youngest but not eldest.

These nieces are almost a decade older than my youngest but nearer in age to eldest who they do know and one even socialises with him occasionally as they have mutual friends.

These nieces are cousins themselves not sisters so I wonder if they discussed his exclusion.

Partner and youngest definitely want to go to both of these weddings.

I think it is awful not to invite your 24 year old. They are part of the family and it is only one extra person.

Does your 24 yo still live at home? I have children and love my DSD and her family but my DH also has SC and I don't include them, I'm always polite but wouldn't think to invite them to anything, you have to draw the line somewhere

I’m sorry but if we weren’t all invited as a family then none of us would be attending, my DH wouldn’t want to go either. It doesn’t matter whether your child has been in their lives a short or long time, they are family.

I think at 24 it does depend on how often they talk/see each other. If he were still a child it’s different. The guest list very quickly adds up so you do have am to be a bit ruthless if you want to control numbers/cost.
