Are you inviting exes?

Are there any old exes you've remained friends with who made it on the guest list? Next Question: Are you inviting everyone who asks? Back to the Beginning: Who made the cut?

    Oh no lol but to be fair we have been together since we were in highschool so we don't have any lifelong friends who are exes.

    A guy who asked me out in college (but I rejected, and who is now married) yes, actual exes, no.

    My ex is invited to the wedding- with my fiancé’s blessing. Things ended very amicably and when my mom passed a few years ago, he was a vital part of my support system. He’s a great friend, he always has been, and I feel so lucky to be able to maintain a good relationship with him! From the comments on this post, I see that this is a pretty unpopular opinion, but to each their own!

    No. Just no. My exes are the most immature people that I have wasted time on. I don't need them their to potentially try and ruin my day. Also I don't speak to ANY of them, because exes are exes for a reason.

    Nope. I thought about inviting my exes little brother, because I still see & talk to him on a regular basis & he will talk to FH if they see eachother, but I figured it might be a little weird.

    None of mine, however my FH's 2nd exwife (he has 2) is coming with her husband and baby. We have a fantastic relationship and coparent their 2 daughters amazingly well so it's wasn't even a thought to not invite them. It's weird but we're dysfunctional lol.

    One of my closest male friends and I very briefly dated and FH has known that from day 1. He is invited with his girlfriend. We don't maintain close friendships with serious exes, so no invites to be had there.

    That's a hard no. My son was sad we didn't invite his dad(my ex husband). Thankfully his dad's gf found out she was pregnant and due the week of the wedding which was in Vegas(we are all in OH) so we had an easy out.

    One of my exes is my fiance's friend and he will be attending. We actually met through him so it was a little awkward at first but not anymore.

    Of course we wouldn’t just invite anyone we had dated, and H and I both have exes with whom we are still civil and friendly enough with (a relationship didn’t work between us but they’re not bad people and break ups were amicable) but of course “we’re still friendly enough” wouldn’t warrant an invite.

    That said, H is still very close with one of his exes and she was invited (and attended) the wedding. We are all friendly and have dinner together as a group often and it’s not a weird thing. They dated almost a decade ago and the romance is well over.
