How to invite fighting friends?

Gabrielle, on July 22, 2013 at 12:50 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

In high school, we were all thick as thieves. But recently, something happened and I have two groups of girlfriends instead of one because of a stupid fight. There's no chance of the group reuniting.

For my birthday party, I had to choose one group to invite. But at my wedding, I want both groups. How can I invite both sets of friends and keep them distracted easily (the last thing I want to worry about on my wedding day)?

    ^ Or maybe they'll act grown by then.

    Wow. >_> They have the right to fight. There are plenty of people I'd hate to mingle with at an event. ^^

    I invited a bunch of people from high school that don't like each other... they just won't be seating near each other.

    Pretty sure adults can be adults and not start a fight at a wedding... and can be civil to each other. And Amy and Reenski are right you have til 2015 it can blow over by then.

    There's plenty of people I wouldn't want to mingle with at events either, but as a grown woman, I can act civil at functions, especially at one that celebrates a friend of mine.

    Seat them apart, they should be grown and not purposely walk up to each other to start stuff. Part of being an adult is ACTING like an adult, particularly towards people you'd like to throttle.

    Wow they need to grow up and move on. There are plenty of people who I don't like or want to be around, but I would put on my "work" attitude and be nice regardless. I hope they don't ruin your big day. Maybe they can put on their big girl panties for your wedding.

    I have two BM's that were best friends (one was the MOH for the others wedding). They no longer speak. But, at my shower and bachelorette, they put aside their differences and acted like adults whether or not they liked it. It's not that difficult. Seat them apart and move on....

    I had this problem. I spoke to each indiidula and basically said that I expect them to be mature and respectful, if anone sees a rolled eye, dirty look, or mean comment to anyone they will kindly be asked to leave.

    If this is really something where you think they will not respect you then make a decision of who to invite. If they are real friends they will respect you.

    Ugh I hate drama like this, it’s so unnecessary! I have a similar issue. A few of my friends have dated each other and had very bad break-ups, they are all now in new relationships and despise each other. I’m friends with all of them! I have to also hang out with them all at separate times. But they are all invited to the wedding. I wasn’t going to play that battle. We’re all adults and I expect everyone to behave that way.

    Just seat them at separate tables. Hopefully they can act like adults and not start drama at your wedding.

    Plus, as some of the other ladies have pointed out, you have almost 2 years, so hopefully they'll be over it by that point.
