I think it's ok to just invite the teens. After all, an 18 year old is closer in age to the kallah than the sibs on your side, it would be rude to treat them like little kids. But really there is no reason to have a 2 year old running around.

I dont remember ever having a sheva brachos without some of chosson and kallah's siblings there. Sometimes one or two will decide not to come but I think it's rude not go give them a choice . Unless they have like 20 kids and then you can maybe limit it to kids over 10.

Most parents wouldn't want to bring young kids to every night of sheva brachos. Telling them that is is an adult sheva brachos leaves them with the option of bringing those they feel are old enough to enjoy an evening with adults - but maybe let them decide which kids to bring. It would be completely appropriate to ask them to let you know who they are bringing - or at least how many.

I would err on the side of inviting all the siblings. You can say this is more geared towards adults and no other kids are invited, the parents can decide whether or not to bring their little ones. Unless the kallah has triplet siblings, how many little kids are we talking about?

Since this is their first wedding they may not be suffering from simcha burnout yet and may be hurt to be excluded.

I have made many Sheva Brochos with limited space. Most Bal Simcha parents are happy to let children go to sleep one night, on time. I invited the grandparents, Mechitunim, and the two oldest children. It was always graciously understood. One major factor, DONT EXCUSE YOURSELF, A MILLION TIMES!!!....its no big deal. Enjoy your Simcha, focus on making this a beautiful and tasty Sheva Bruches.

In the chassidish world it's accepted that you invite just the siblings from the side making the sheva brachos. And if your kids are not invited, you don't need to invite their kids.


Im chassidish and we invite the siblings from the other side too

I think you can invite whoever you want and not worry so much. You do not have to invite any of the kallah's siblings. In fact, if you leave the teenagers home, the parents will have whom to babysit the younger kids.

If space is the issue, don't invite them at all and don't feel guilty.
