Invite Mutual Friends of Ex's?

Laura, on May 18, 2015 at 5:19 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

Hi all! Need an unbiased opinion since I cannot decide. I am getting married soon and I am unsure if I shall invite mutual friends of a past ex. I have remained friends with the many of the female mutual friends, however do not like any of their significant others (ex's close guy friends). Should I invite only the ladies or am I obligated to invite each lady plus their significant other?? Or should I even invite either? Thanks for your input!!

Sincerely,

Mutually confused

    If someone is in a long term relationship, it's considered bad etiquette to invite one member of the couple but not the other.

    Are you very close with them. Do you see them regularly? If yes, then I would and you'll be too busy to worry about their SO. If you only communicate on FB or if you see them out at bars or store, then I would say no. I agree, you have to invite both. Maybe just the girls with come without so and a group.

    Edited because I didn't read the whole question lol

    I'd leave them all out of it. You shouldn't invite them knowing they have SOs and not invite their SOs. Also even if you decided to invite them knowing you dont like their SOs why make them choose between you and their SO? Could possibly cause a rift in their relationship.

    Personally, I think if you are friends with them you should invite them. Also, I would give them a plus one. I wouldn't attend a wedding of an old friend if only I was invited, knowing my SO wasn't invited on purpose. Just my two cents Smiley smile

    You MUST invite their SO, whether you like them or not. So if you are friends with these girls, you have to invite both. However, if you don't like their SO how often do you really spend time with these women? Could you just not invite them to your wedding and save the drama?

    If you invite them, you should include their SOs. I would consider how close you really are with these women. How often do you see them, do you talk to them on a regular basis, do you make an effort to maintain the friendship, not just friendly when you see them? Things to consider.

    LOL! Thank you everyone for your input. Guess I needed to be reminded that inviting their SO is a must. Maybe I was thinking they would come as a group of girls together like Sabrina said? The crazy thing is, I do spend time with the girls when it is a "girls night out" but when it comes to group events (holidays or event with husband/bf in tow), they usually do not invite me.

    Don't invite any of them unless your FH knows them...it might be uncomfortable for him. Or better yet, ask him what he thinks.

    @Promike guess that pretty much answers the question! FH is not a fan of that group of guys! The last thing I want is for him to feel uncomfortable. Smiley smile
