Wedding Invitations

To give the Ex a wedding invitation or not to give, is the question…

Everyone you ask will have their own opinion and advice on this one and it will all be a little different, which of course doesn’t help you (the soon to be newlywed again) any.

This can no doubt be a very awkward decision. The answer entirely depends on the situation and the relationship. For some, there’s no question. Some people have remained very good friends and it’s an obvious yes. However, if it ended on a very bad note, it would probably be an obvious no.

These are some things you need to consider:
• How will it make my Ex feel if I invite them? How will it make them feel if I don’t? It may offend him/her if you don’t invite them. Or they may feel like you’re rubbing it in their face. If the lines of communication are still open, by all means talk to them and ask how it would make them feel!
• How will it make the other guests feel? Is there going to be any contention between your Ex and another guest?
• How will it make your fiancé feel? Do they understand?
• Can you trust your Ex? Will they say something intimate and embarrassing? Well, hopefully you know them well enough to answer that one.

As a piece of wedding etiquette advice, you may consider letting other people know your ex may be there, that way they don’t act surprised and make anyone feel uncomfortable.
