I am fully prepared to be told IABU I just need an outside perspective.
My dd is being christened in a few weeks time and I have invited most of my family plus a few close friends. PIL are paying for the 'do' after so for this reason we have kept the numbers quite low and not invited the world and his wife.
My aunt got married earlier in the year to a man who she has been with for quite a while. This man has an adult son who lives with his fiancee. We dont tend to have a great deal to do with them not really by design its just happened that way so im not close to them at all and they dont pop to mind when I think of family.
We have sent out the invitations to aunts, uncles, cousins etc but not invited my aunt's new stepson and fiancee mainly because we so seldom see them we didnt really think about it.
My aunt is most upset over this and seems very put out but doesnt realise that with her DH , my cousin and his DW and DCs they would be 7 invites alone.
So AIBU not to invite them??
