Throwing my fiance a surprise party, his bf invited the Ex!

So I'm throwing my fiance a surprise 30th birthday party and I enlisted the help of his bestfriend/bestman to help invite guests since he knows a lot more of his friends than I do. After going through the list of correspondents, I find out that he invited my fiance's FIRST LOVE/ Ex-Girlfriend....

    And yes, I would tell the BF that you didn't want her invited and her should understand afterall, he was telling everyone about her and all that 'stuff'..

    OMG, I would be so pissed off! What is wrong with your fiance's BF? How could he do this, was he not thinking...how could he not think that you might be upset!! Does he seriously have no clue?? Hell, I'm getting upset and this isn't even happening to me, lol!!

    Wait if she is "the one that got away" then that doesn't sound like the past is really over. To me that means there is still feeling there and that no one has ever compared to her and their love. But this is totally your call though. As much as I hate to admit it I am the worst when it comes to jealousy so I know there is no chance I would let this fly. But from the sounds of it you got a good grip on how to handle her :-) and we know you will ROCK that party so that she is the last thing on your mans mind!

    Thanks guys for all of your support. As for now, she is invited and said she would be in attendance. I don't want to come off jealous in anyway, so the only thing I guess I can do is be the gracious and classy host (but look fierce while doing so LOL.). After all, he has committed to me, and has pledged to spend the rest of his life with me. If he really wanted to get back with her, he had plenty of time and opportunity to do so way before I even stepped into the picture. Yea, he might miss her or wonder what it would've been like if things worked out between them two. But hopefully, he'll take one look at me, see how much effort I put into this surprise party, see how much I truly do love him, and realize he made the right decision....IDK I'm just gonna put it in God's hands.

    I'll let you guys know how things turn out. The party is this Saturday.

    It was wrong & the damage is done now. Just show her how classy of a person your are. She has a family & your husband has chosen you to start his family with. I mean never let your guard down, but remeber it's you that he loves now!

    2 Snaps for you Dualy because I wouldn't do it! Mr Bestman and I would've had a long 1 sided conversation ending in me telling him he needs to go back and uninvite her. I'm not jealous or insecure but I demand respect and that was a dumb move on his part. Who cares what anyone thinks? Surely not I! You're planning the party and you need to be comfortable at the party. If he chose the right woman, he'll enjoy it whether she's there or not. Besides, if she's the one who got away, let her A** keep steppin! No need to look back!!!

    LOL! Thanks msshay1985! I hear that! I think I'm going to go with Jamie H.'s approach and keep it classy. Besides my FH finds confidence a turn on so I will keep my head high and not let anyone see me sweat. Now I'm off to buy a killer dress, hair, nails, lashes, shoes, and a makeover by MAC! LOL.

    I say put your foot down. It is something that you are doing for him. So you got the final say so. She should not be there. Females always want to try something. Good Luck.

    I think you are doing the right thing by putting it in GOD's hands. You know what you all have and it can not be out done by some old flame. As women we always have that intution but you got the ring and you can outshine her any day in his eyes
