Are you inviting your parents' friends?

There was nothing to negotiate. It was our wedding, our reception, our guest list.

The ones that we have a relationship with.

Yes, I knew who most of them would be. But my mom isn't sure on some.

I did not budge on this one. My mother only has a few and if I am not that close to them it was a no. FH's side doesn't really have any other than family and we weeded them out by if he has talked to them by if he has been close with them or not. That's how we decided.

Our parents have both given us lists of friends they want invited. We did veto a few on both sides, either for the sake of not wanting their drama or from having never met them.

Any of our parents’ friends we invited we would consider family, thankfully. And they didn’t ask for any others.

Mom’s friends will be there to represent her since she will be there in spirit.

I made sure to invite those that I am familiar with.

That would be a big no.

Only the ones we are friends with too. Again going with the theme of if we don't know them then no thanks

Yes... again I am kind of on the fence about this. Fiances parents want to invited like 7 couples. I personally know like 3 of them and I'm not that happy about inviting people I don't know. My mom is inviting 2 couples. One is my neighbor from growing up and they have always always supported me and have a good relationship with finance. The other is someone I have known for about 20 years and she also has always supported me and fiance.

Our parents have sadly all passed on, so no. My mom's best friend was my dad's stepsister, who is my favorite aunt, she'll be there. My godparents will be there, and they were close friends of my parents. Other than than most of their friends have also sadly passed. It's a sad part of us getting married in our 50's

If my parent's friends aren't associated with me somehow, they have no reason to be there on my special day.

Most to all of my mom's friends are invited because she has been friends with them for 30+ years so I am pretty close to them since they were around while I was growing up. Co workers of hers are not invited

Some of my parents friends i dislike very much. They are not invited. If they are they will be escorted out.

Im only inviting a few of my parents friends because ive known them forever myself.

Only the ones who are the parents of my friends.

I did invite my parent's friends, and my friend's families. Most of them are coming

We're inviting some of my parents friends, but they're also friends I've not almost my entire life. It was a struggle to even get FH to invite his family so none of his parents friends are invited.

Yes we gave our parents a 4-6 people each

My mom added 2 people to our list and I was ok with it since I've known them since I was a kid but I would say no if they wanted to add others since they arent really contributing towards the cost of our event. If my parents were making a significant financial contribution I would be more inclined to honor their guest lists.
