    I would think it would be obvious to the person who is under the restraining order but if not you will just need to remind them. People here tend to over do recommendations to hire security for transgressions like showing up with a child, but this is one instance I’d absolutely consider it.

    Yep, that's nothing to do with your choices, and it's not your situation to solve. The restraining orders have to prevail. I would think whoever has the restraining order on them should not be invited. Maybe plan a special dinner at some other time with them.

    Oh wow, that’s a tough position to be in. If you would like to celebrate with both parties, you could have one person attend the wedding and part of the reception, then leave early so the other person could attend part of the reception. You could live stream your ceremony for the person not in attendance, so they could at least still be there virtually and see you get married. I agree with PP that the person who has the restraining order against them should be the one either not in physical attendance, or the one that attends later in the evening.

    Are you saying that both of your parents have restraining orders against each other?

    It's up to the bride which parent she wants there. Assuming it's the parent that took out a restraining order on the other, the individual with the TRO should always comply by the terms of it and not violate the order.
