it falls upon me to organize a stag for my great brother who is getting married.
He, David, is choosing NOT to invite many of the people who i thought of as our good friends to his wedding or reception. So who do i invite to the stag? It seems odd to invite guys who may wonder or even feel slighted to not have been invited by my brother to the wedding? Please, what do you think?

Only men on the wedding guest list should be invited to the stag party.
It would be rude to invite others because you are basically saying: "Buy me a gift or give me money even though I don't want you there on my big day."

A "stag" is basically a bachelor party, right? Ask your brother to help you make up the guest list, or give you a list of people he wants there. I'd be offended if I were invited to a party/shower and not to the wedding--although that may be a girl thing and the guys might not notice. This should be a much smaller group than is going to be at the wedding, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a good group together. Most people just have the groomsmen and a few friends and family who are close. Have a smaller number of people if you have to, but don't invite people who aren't invited to the wedding!

Most of what I wanted to say has already been said. He should decide who he wants there... You can always surprise him with people showing up who he thinks live too far away or whom he has lost.
I would advice you to talk about this with him. Not who he wants on the list but maybe about why he choose not to invite the ones you thought he would and if he would invite them to the stag. You'll know what to do and know a little more about your brother...
best of luck... and enjoy the party...

If they are not invited to the wedding, they cannot be invited to the stag party. It is very, very rude and mean.
You have to invite people based on who is invited to the wedding. If your bro gave you an invite list that has people on it who are not invited to the wedding, you need to approach your bro and say "either invite these guys to the wedding, or take them off this list."

It's his choice who gets to come to the wedding and stag party. If he doesn't want some people there - there's probably a reason.

don't invite people your brother doesn't want there. Invite them to your stag later

let David put the invite list together after all, it is his party.Let him invite the guest and you put together the party. That way he can invite those he wants to attend, and your off the hook.
