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

FH's second cousin. UGH!

All of the children ugh

My father's sister. She's the most critical, superficial, and conceited person I've ever met. She's from out of state, and any time I had seen her, since I first met her when I was three years old, she's said something deliberately mean and insulting to me.

Invite list 84; 74 if we feel we need to: we think only 54 will for sure show up.

If it was just up to me I'd not invite anyone from his family who in public judge us. However, most of those people are attached to others that we love and really get along with. So unless the one's we don't like stay home with the kids, we're stuck.

From my family, my brothers wife..ugh! She just doesn't really fit into our family, and complains about my brother way too much. I'd rather him come by himself and actually be able to thoroughly enjoy himself. He needs a break. Also, my aunt. She's the only one from my mom's side we're inviting, and mostly because I'm trying to forget about the past and ensure my mom has someone from her side there. It's the nice thing to do, but I'd prefer not to.

I can understand that. We were going to allow kids at ceremony but not reception, but if we end up picking the venue this weekend that I'm thinking of, we'll be going no kids! Which will be hard because I'd love for two of my nieces to be there. However, I can't invite some and no others. My oldest niece is the exception, as she's my MOH.

Were just not kids people, we don't plan on having kids, and I want to be healthy on my wedding. The sounds of kids crying just stresses my brain out. We'd like to forgo that. I think it's our right though, it's our day, why shouldn't we have it our way? It's one day out of this one year, for a few hours. I'm sure with enough notice people can find babysitters, or figure something else out. If not, than I'm sorry you couldn't attend our wedding, but thank you for taking the time to let us know.

Welp.... planning a destination wedding has narrowed down our guest list quite a bit, so there’s people that I know that will not be making that trip. Saves me from having to worry about it.

Lol I like this term!! It is definitely true!

My controlling loud and manipulative ghetto SIL. The original wedding almost saw her removed from the property. May need security just for her this time. And lord help her if she tries to change any plans with my vendors or ever asks me about my underwear. Long story short she is my least favorite person in his family.

A couple of my fiancee's siblings who haven't treated him very well the past couple of years. He loves them though of course and they are nice to me. I just hate that they've hurt him

Some of my relatives. I dont want 100 people I dont really know at my very small intimate wedding.

View Quoted Comment Any chance you can do a "no kids under --- age rule"? That's what we're doing to avoid to avoid a similar scenario. Another thought it to set up something or someone specifically to keep them entertained and out of trouble, although that's extra work.

N/A! I actually don't think we're inviting anyone we don't want to come.

We're cutting out a branch of FH's family (an aunt and uncle and 4 completely neurotic, narcissistic cousins). That group has been withdrawing from the family for years, and when we do see them, they've been horribly unpleasant to interact with (like, they're the type to make scenes at funerals). FH was like, no, I'm putting my foot down, they're not getting invites. His mom was a little sad that that's the final nail in the coffin of that relationship, but I dont disgree with the choice.

My mother in law felt entitled to being allowed to invite some of her church friends that we had never even met. She helped pay, so we allowed it, but it was frustrating to have people we had never met or met once at OUR wedding reception.

My FSIL in-laws! They're just awful!

My future brother in law. He’s started rumors about me that weren’t true.

My future brother in law. He’s started rumors about me that weren’t true. He is jealous about his brother being in a long term relationship leading up to possible marriage because he can never keep a gf.

Seeing as we are paying for our wedding, if I don’t want to invite someone I’m not. My fiancé understands. I’m not paying money for someone who I think would ruin the day for me.

My three nieces/nephews under age 8. We're having adults only EXCEPT them, but FH insists that they come. They are noisy and misbehave. i would be pissed if they interrupted any part of the program.

I wish I didn't have to invite my great aunt. She used to be a prescription drug addict and real loopy but she has been getting better and a little easier to tolerate.
