My fiance and I are planning to get marry next year. We're inviting all of our relatives and friends. The thing is, his ex-girlfriend is from the same church we attend to. Just to be civilized, we sometimes have a little chat, she is in my list of friends in friendster and facebook but we're not that close. Do I have an excuse not to invite her?
Need your opinion... Thanks!

You can invite her verbally but don't give her a formal invitation. She'll get the hint. It is very awkward if she would attend your wedding.

I also imagined it, if I were in her shoes. But the thing is, we have a very small circle of friends... like her bestfriend is also my friend, I wish her to be there. If I invite her, then I should also invite the ex. Its also weird if the ex is the only person I did not invite in the church... hehe :)
Thanks for the comment...

You really don't have to invite her, unless your best friend is also her boyfriend and he brings her as his guest I wouldn't be feeling guilty. I'm sure she wouldn't expect you to invite her anyway.
Remember it's your day... so do what makes you feel you want to do... and not what others might expect.

It depends. Is she a good friend or are you just being civil? Are you inviting all your church? How close was your fiance to her when they were dating? I would look at these things. If you are inviting all your church then yeah go ahead and invite her. If you are not and you are just being civil to her then you don't have too. Truthfully I don't care for my hubby's ex so I didn't want her to attend. Mainly because she would probably poison our punch or something. She caused a lot of trouble trying to make us misserable because she was unhappy with her own life. See if my ex showed up I wouldn't care because I feel nothing one way or the other for him. But everyone looks at things differently. If it doesn't bother then invite her but if it does then don't!

ok.. thanks for your response... I also thought about it.. It would also be offensive on her part.. Maybe we're thinking just to civilize everything. We jus don't want to get married with someone who is bitter. Or maybe I'm just overreacting.
Again, thanks for your response!
