2nd Marriage Invite Etiquette

Hello Hello!

We will be getting married in about 6 months or so.

This will be his first marriage, and my second marriage (I've been divorced 4 years).

My question is, what do you find to be proper etiquette when it comes to inviting guests to the wedding? Invite only those who know us as a couple? Do we invite any of those I am friends with who came to my wedding with my ex-husband (aside from family, of course)....and there are a lot I still see on a regular basis, some of whom have met him, some of whom have not.

Thanks in advance....I feel like I'll be starting over as a new bride and have lost some of the knowledge I had!

I would go about it like a normal (first) wedding for both of you. Invite your loved ones! They don't have to go if they don't want to, but invite people in your life that care about you.

Invite those who you want surrounding you on your wedding day.

Nothing needs to change just because this is your second marriage. Invite any friends and family that you would want there whether it was your first or 7th marriage. It doesn't matter.

Invite who you want! We chose to keep our guest list small for our wedding (second marriage for both). Mostly because our venue would only hold so many people. And also, we only wanted the people there that have truly supported us as a couple. If they had never met us as a couple, then they did not get an invite. I really don't think there is a right and a wrong here. Do what you are comfortable with.

Totally agree!
And feel free to wear white, have a cake cutting ceremony, or any other traditions you love but might be hesitant about as a "second-time bride." Push any silly insecurities (or nay-sayers) away. Congrats and enjoy planning!

I agree with what's already been said. It was a 2nd marriage for both of us. We invited our nearest and dearest even if they had attended our 1st wedding. In fact, one of my bridesmaids was my bridesmaid from my 1st wedding. They were happy to celebrate us.
