I would send an invite anyway. Include a note the brother and boyfriend are expected to attend. We've learned in our family to invite everyone even though you know thay can't all come for whatever reason. Don't slight anyone. If your daughter does decide to attend, let her know YOU are hosting and YOU are making the rules. If she can't abide those rules, let her know you will not tolerate a family blowup or drama at YOUR party.

By the way just my humble opinion: I'll never understand why someone in 21st century lives their lives according to what a few prejudiced, superstitious and unworldly guys wrote down 2 thousand years ago.
