[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just don't go to the dinner - no big deal. It's a dinner for whatever family happens to be in town. That's all. [/quote]

This. It’s not a summons. Drive Friday. [/quote]

This. I don't understand why people feel like an invitation is a demand. It's an invitation. It sounds like a lovely gesture and I'd let the bride's parents know that it was very nice of them to invite you and your family, but you aren't arriving until Friday night and you look forward to meeting them at the wedding. [/quote]

True.  But it's family.  It's a nice gesture, and weddings are big events.  What are OP's husband and kids doing that's so important that they can't take an extra day to attend a wedding of their BIL/Uncle?  Not much, I imagine.[/quote]

What?!?! The kids are going to miss 3 days of school!  For a wedding ceremony they will not pay attention to or get barely anything out of.  I don't care what age they are, this is pretty much true with any age!

OP- I agree with a lot here.  Do not drag your kids 8-11 hours away for just a dinner and a ceremony two days later, even if it is their Uncle.  They will get to know their Uncle's new spouse later on, maybe on a visit? [/quote]
