I have two issues about inviting relatives:
The first are my godparents, who I can never remember ever meeting or speaking to. They were invited to my graduation, but declined to come. Should I invite them?
The second is my aunt and her kids (my cousins). My fiance is mixed-race, and my uncle (her husband) was a HUGE racist and said nasty things about my fiance. MY aunt and cousins never defended my fiance, always quietly went along with my uncle, although they never said anything bad about my fiance either. My uncle has since died. Should I invite my aunt and cousins?
My mother says I should invite both my godparents and my aunt and cousins because they are family and even if they do not attend, to not invite them would be an insult. They all live very far away and probably would not come anyway. Personally, I am not close to any of them, never talk to them, and would much rather invite people I am close to. What should I do??? :confused:
