Are you inviting exes?

Lynnie, on November 4, 2019 at 09:05 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 31

Are there any old exes you've remained friends with who made it on the guest list? Or do you and your soon-to-be-spouse have a firm "no exes" guest list policy??


Are any exes invited to your wedding? 💔

    No. My husband is actually the first person I dated. And he has no relationship with his exes at all.

    We don't have many of those since we've been together for 10 years but no to the few that do exist.

    This seems like the best exception to this "rule". So glad to hear that you're both happy and in love!!

    Technically 😂 my fiancé is inviting one of his exes but they’re a close friend & they dated for like a week in high school, many many years ago.

    Hell, no. My FH has no desire to and neither do I. With the exception of one relationship, I ended on decent terms but it is still awkward, but, if that one exception decides to crash (unlikely as they live in another country/are not invited), the venue's security would be called.

    HA HA HA! I love this question. I have a strange situation. My ex-husband is walking me down the aisle. Smiley surprise Smiley surprise Smiley surprise

    A little bit of background. My ex-husband is one of our best friends. He has been remarried (him and his husband are very happy), for many years and my Mom passed on over 12 years ago and I do not have any other close family members. Our marriage didn't work because he became true to who he really was and our children, my FH and I are very happy that he is living his best life!

    Hahahaha we're inviting a woman who thought FH and her were a thing for a while. Even told her friends about it. Imagine his surprise when they were at a social and one of her friends came up like "so you two are dating, right?" and he was like "uhhhhh no..."

    Ohhhh ok that's way better than I was thinking 🙈 And I'm glad she was a really nice person because that eases any potential awkwardness. Well, kudos to you for making it happen!

    We were planning our 10 year highschool reunion, and I really wanted to be a part of it so I kind of just sucked it up. It had been about 10 years since he and I had dated, so it wasn't anything close to a fresh breakup.


    She really is a wonderful person and seeing them together you could tell they were both happy, which gave me a bit of closure I hadn't known I needed. It also didn't hurt that all our get togethers to plan we're scheduled so I could mentally prepare myself for the first few, after that it was easy.

    We are actually! Just one of mine, who happens to be a good friend and my FH requested to be there because he enjoys his company.

    NO. They were never kept as friends or spoken after the break ups.

    I think only one of my FH's exes will be there, they've stayed close and she's very supportive of our relationship

    Oh no. Lol. Again the benefit of having it be just family, all these were excluded to begin with

    Absolutely not.


    I recently planned an event with my ex's fiance and she is wonderful but I really don't think we would spend time together without necessity.

    I'm FH's one and only, so that was easy lol. Even if there was an ex though that he wanted there and I knew her and liked her well enough then I would've been fine with it. I have one ex that's invited and that I'm still really good friends with, and FH is friends with him too, so there's no bad blood there at all.

    ...He did? I don't have any Ex's though (he's my one and only Man)...

    His one ex that was invited is married to a friend of his though so it wasn't that bad. For sure didn't invite her to the bachelorette or anything though!
