Family situation

My mom and Dad can’t be in the same room together. My relationship is a lot closer to my mother and my relationship with my father is mending. Without going too in depth to personal stuff, there’s just no way. On top of that, the guest list is all my mom’s side of the family, and I really don’t want the talk of my wedding to be just the fact he was there. How can I politely tell him that I will have to have two parties, one where I celebrate with my mom and her family. And another where me and my fiancé celebrate with his family.

Honestly it sounds like they both need to grow up and act like adults. My husband's parents are divorced and his father is estranged from my husband's older sister and brother, but everyone still managed to act like adults and be there to celebrate with us. If they can't act like adults then that's just sad and I wouldn't bother throwing an additional event for someone who wants to act like a child.

It’s more out of respect of my mother. But everyone’s personal situation is different. Thank you for your opinion though.

Hello Alanna

I have the same situation ! First party with my dad and his family ( in America ) and second party with my mom and her family. ( in Europe )For some reason my dad did not want to come to America and my mom end up coming. So I had my first wedding with mom and dad ‘s family. It was not awkward, in fact it was really nice ! I am preparing the second wedding with dad and mom’s family.How did I tell him ? Exactly how it is : I am doing this first wedding where you are not invited and mom is gonna be there. And I am doing a second party for you to come, so please join. I don’t think you need to worry about explaining why you have 2 different parties, just tell him the date of the one he is invited
Enjoy !!
