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?

    Absolutely not. I think this is off to do even if you have kids with the ex.

    Heck no! My daughter is 13 and her father and are cordial but is not invited. My FH also does not have any contact with his exes and of course they would be invited. They can enjoy the pics posted if they lurking..lol

    Nope! My FHs doesn't like to talk or think about his exs as they are mostly from a dark time in his life. I am very civil with some of my exs but I will not be iniviting them.

    No. Neither of us had very healthy relationships before we met each other. It wouldn’t be a good idea for us.

    Uh, no. FH works with his ex and she is nice, but I think that'd be weird.

    My boyfriend when I was 14 is invited. It was ages ago, we were only a couple for three weeks lol! and he's now married to one of my friends. It is too long ago and barely counts, so no qualms inviting him.

    My ex husband also the father of my three children will be in attendance. He’s very much a part of my children’s life and I wanted him to be a much part of their life in this part of my wedding.He also is coparenting with me and my FH.

    I would love to, but he isn't having any of that. So, no.

    We invited people who were interested in us in the past and we still are friends with, but not actual exes. I guess unless the FH or FW is a friend of the ex to begin with, there is no need to add drama. Wedding is a place to celebrate a new life-long relationship with your FH or FW, not a place to show people “look how mature we are to remain friends with exes”. To me that is really immature.

    Absolutely! My best friend is in our wedding and she is my ex fling. My FH loves her and there is no weirdness or bad blood.

    Hell to the NO! I am not friendly with my exes (not because of bad breakups) and neither is my fiance. Inviting exes would be a major red flag for the both of us.

    Neither of us invited exes. FH is not close with any of his exes and while I have stayed in contact with some I didn't feel the need to invite them since we aren't super close.

    I think only two. He was my best friend for several years, and we tried dating for like a month, but it was too weird. haha We stayed best friends after that for a long time. We're still good friends though we're not as close as we used to be since I moved away. My fiance is inviting someone he has a very similar story with.

    I am inviting my ex, the father of one of my children. He’s one of my most trusted friends. Not necessarily closest, like I tell him everything and talk all the time- but most trusted, because we have this really important shared interest between us so he will always have my back.
    He was also our realtor, and between baseball and football season FH and him have spent many hours sitting next to one another.
