I've spent the last two days brainstorming creative lines for our invites (they are freaking hilarious and I cannot wait to finalize a date to order them), which has led to sincerely looking at the guest list.
Here's my heart's issue: I have a toxic relationship with one of my parents. I'm not one for airing dirty laundry on the internet so.. Let's just say there is no relationship or contact with this person beyond appearances. I honestly would rather not invite them to my wedding at all because it feels like a lie. However, no invite would trigger the exact drama I am trying to avoid at this point in my life. This would also stop my youngest brother from attending. I don't want that to happen, nor do I want him to feel like he isn't welcome because of this twisted situation.
Have any of you faced a similar dilemma? What helped you to find your decision?
(I have not decided to invite or not invite this parent at this point in time. Thank you in advance for your thoughts )
