Fill in the blank: I wish I didn't have to invite _______.

Sad but very true...... My future mother in law!

Wish I didn't have to invite my dad

My "bff". Sadly she was already invited before her true colors came out. I feel like if we hadn't sent the invites out we'd still be guilted into inviting her though

Same boat, sis! My parents are still married for some godforsaken reason and I haven't had a good relationship with my dad for YEARS. He is a functioning alcoholic and super selfish. When something isn't about him, he will find a way to make himself the center of attention. (My sister just announced that she's pregnant....he told everyone that she wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to have kids had he no created her. He's THAT kind of person.) Anyway, we are having a super small DW in Vieques, PR with just family. It will be a family vacation of sorts with a wedding in there. My dad is so unhealthy and can't go over an hour without a drink and a cigarette. There is no way he will be able to do all (or any) of the excursions that we want to plan. However, I know he will still come and complain the whole time because that's his MO. So I feel you on a deep level, sister!

My cousin's husband, we REALLY didnt want her to marry him because he treats her like property and if he doesnt want to do something she isnt allowed, and he is generally just full of himself and not someone I ever want to be around, but etiquette... And my FMIL's boyfriend (again invited for etiquette's sake), he makes everything worse with the fighting between my FMIL and FFIL and we had to rescue my FBIL from him because he felt unsafe after he went off about his career choice (he is an amazing artist and makes decent money from it but it isnt a traditional blue collar job so it isnt a "real" job). He's been trying to be extra nice to us at family events recently but its hard to shake the way he has been towards my FS and her brother for so long or his instigating fights with my FFIL who is amazing (we also dont particularly like how he treats my FMIL either but it is her choice to stay with him so...)

This can not be a fun situation. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

This sounds like a tough relationship. Just know that usually when people are putting others down, it's because they are envious. As an older sibling of four, I've definitely had some jealousy moments with my younger sister. I never put her down, but I would nit pick over silly things. In our adult years, she told me she was envious of me as well and would also pick fights with me just to make me mad. Funny how we come full circle sometimes. Maybe your sister just needs so love.

My SIL parents...

Children.

Actually, we are not including children yet we ARE having an open bar soooooo...

I didn't invite them

Hmm. I'm not inviting the 2 people I would of had to invite.

i don't care what my family says. The 2 people made it that way so *shrug*

My dad.... Honestly I can't stand him but I really don't have a choice. After I got engaged I made a distasteful joke to my best friend when she asked if he was going to walk me down the isle. I told her maybe he'll die by then. Awful, but it's how I feel. He's a miserable a**hole and I'm not looking forward to having to deal with him at all.

My FH's mother's cousin. He never stops talking!

One of the blessings of our wedding planning, is that no one asked us to invite anyone not on our list. My first wedding, the answer would have been, any of the 50-60 people MIL had fits about our having to add. We did not have our planned wedding due to and got married across the country with a few friends. Weeks from the wedding, she unilaterally destroyed it.

My holier-than-thou cousin. She's rude.

Ughhhh... this is too much. I'm not even going to think about it. They will be there and I will just grin and bear it.

My wedding is going to be small because of this exact question. I got rid of the Domino's, you know if you invite this person then that person has to come and domino effect.

My FILs. They are just unpleasant people who will do nothing but criticize everything. While it’s going on. In front of other guests. Guaranteed. Even FH wishes he didn’t have to invite them.

My sister's husband. Ugh. Lol. My whole family hates him.

My fiancé grandma. She is a controlling person, and having issues with other family members.

Then she got mad because she wasn’t going to dance at the wedding with my fiancé for the mother son dance. He doesn’t want to replace his mom (his mom passed) and she made it about her.
