A 2 hr. trip. Dinner and cruise.His family and mine have only met once, we had a nice dinner and I believe they got along well. Now I'm having a hard time deciding who to invite. Of course his family (4 people). Should I bring along my family since I'm paying? Not his friends because they are all single and it would be weird to have a bunch of guys and just me girl. So, who should get invited? It's his BIG day.:) Reply to this Question

Keep your family away whatever you decide. Though you're paying, you're doing it for him. What he would like is what matters.

 I would invite your family, it will be nice for them to interact with his family again,. Or if you think there will be too much pressure on the two of you with two sets of parents then invite his friends! X

 Hi my darling,
What a great girlfriend you are! You're putting on quite a party!
HOWEVER, I think that you SHOULD invite his friends. This is his birthday and his big day after all... if you want him to have fun, don't give him the pressure of having to be around your family, act properly and be on his best behavior. Let him relax and have fun with his family and friends. Who cares if you're the only chick there?? He'll just see how cool you are around all of his friends and how much he means to you for throwing together such a great party.
Who would be on his dream invite list? Those are the people you should invite.
He'll have a great time!! Good luck!

 In my opinion often combining families can be a very serious affair. This sounds like a lovely trip and I'd definitely invite his family. Maybe then invite two of his best mates and two of your girl mates who he gets along with to balance things out? It would make it a nice evening if you all get on and you could end up playing cupid for others!
