We were never close growing up and even further apart as adults. </p> heffalump on "parties--> do you invite family that live close even if you don't have a relationship with them?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parties-gt-do-you-invite-family-that-live-close-even-if-you-dont-have-a-relationship-with-them#post-217628 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:42:02 +0000 heffalump 217628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I don't have any family close by that we don't speak to, but if I did I'd leave them out unless it was a huge, huge party. </p> polkadots on "parties--> do you invite family that live close even if you don't have a relationship with them?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parties-gt-do-you-invite-family-that-live-close-even-if-you-dont-have-a-relationship-with-them#post-217625 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 13:40:29 +0000 polkadots 217625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting ready to have a party and I'm making a list of people.
