Sons fathers & step moms family - do I invite them to my wedding?

Whoever you want to invite. Have you determined a guest count yet? Obviously you can't invite everyone unless you're rich lol but first determine your guest count and go from there. Also keep in mind how many people your venue can accommodate.

It's totallyup to you
I personally, would not invite a baby daddy/ex husband to my wedding no matter how well we got along.

Completely up to you and your future spouse. If you both feel comfortable with having co parents (exes) at your wedding and couldn't see yourselves celebrating without them, then go for it. Personally I wouldn't, but everyone's family dynamic is different, so I can't speak for you on that!

Invite who you want as long as it's within budget, and guest count parameters!

I personally wouldn't invite an ex to the wedding no matter how well you get along. I just think it would be awkward.

View Quoted Comment (I should’ve added this to my post, sorry! 😅) but we were invited to their wedding and both my fiancé and I went, but I think I need to have a conversation with them first? I’m not sure because I overthink everything lol

Just because you have a great coparenting relationship doesn’t mean that you’re close friends. Do you have a friendship outside of your child? Do you get together for other social events like dinners, drinks, etc? Would you invite them to a dinner party at your home without your child? If not, I don’t think it would be appropriate to invite them to your wedding.

View Quoted Comment Right I agree with you! I know everyone’s family dynamic is different, but we went to their wedding and it wasn’t awkward or anything and it showed my son that mom and dad and now step parents can all be in the same room at once and celebrate together ya know?

View Quoted Comment I think I would honesty. I mean, when we pick up my son or drop him off with them, we always stand and talk about life and everything for at least 45 minutes. It’s never awkward or

It’s never awkward or uncomfortable around them either. We were invited to their wedding and went and everything went well!

View Quoted Comment No ma’am we haven’t determined an exact head count quite yet, but it’ll be a lot of my family and my fiancé’s family there. Thank you for the advice, love! ❤️

View Quoted Comment I can totally see that! But, we went to their wedding and it wasn’t awkward or anything and it went very well!

I know of a family that co-parented a kid at my school growing up. They always came to school activities together, football games etc. and were very supportive. They were friendly with one another, and would sit/stand together at functions and talk like old friends. Just because your relationship didn't work out, doesn't mean your and his new spouses can't all mesh well!

If you were invited to their wedding, and have a great relationship with them outside of your child that you share together, then I don't see the harm in having them celebrate with you.

If you want to invite your ex and his wife that's up to you, but I wouldn't extend invites to any of your ex's family.

It’s really up to you on who you want to invite. Obviously the more people there, the higher the cost.

Invite whoever you wish but only because you want them in attendance and can't imagine the day without them. If you're only inviting them to try to please others, that is the wrong way to go.

If you want your ex there and your fiance is comfortable with that, then by all means invite him and his wife. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. Do what's best for your family. Personally I think it's great for your son to see that you and his father get along so well, are genuinely happy that the other person is happy and can celebrate these moments together. That's what being a family is all about. It's the best gift you can give him.

View Quoted Comment I couldn’t agree more! Thank you so much for the input!

View Quoted Comment Yeah I think that’s what we concluded as well!

View Quoted Comment Love it!! That’s exactly how we are. When my son was doing soccer, we would sit together and talk like friends and his dad was the coach. My now fiancé would talk to my son step mom and dad as well!
