Inviting close friend's parents?

It depends if you can add them your list or not. My best friend got married 2 years ago, but her family and her H's family were so large, they had to cut the guest list somewhere. So, my Mom and our other friends parents weren't invited. To our wedding, they were because we could afford to have them come. It just depends on your situation.

I think it depends on your relationship. I'm inviting my MOH's mom.

I only invited one set of friend's parents. However I was extremely close to them when I was in high school and they were practically my 2nd parents. I had a key to their house, and probably spent as much time at their house as I did my own.

I'm inviting two sets of friends' parents, but I've spent lots of time with all of them. There are other friends' parents who I know, but I'm not inviting because I'm not close to them.

I invited the parents of my wedding party (at my first wedding).

I invited my 3 BM's parents, although only one by official invite, but the other 2 were single girls and so I was like if you want to bring them instead of a date that's good with me (I know them all pretty well). Only one set actually came. Another friend's mom (who I've known for 20 years) wanted to come and so I invited her too and she came and had SO much fun with my BM's parents lol -- funny how that works out! If you have the room it's a nice gesture, but if not....

I will be inviting the parents of my MOH. Only becasue I spent almost as much time at her house as mine as a kid.

We invited the parents of 2 of our bridal party (my MOH and one of DH's GM) and also a few other parents of good friends of mine. But this is because I spent a lot of time at their homes during high school and university.

I’m only inviting the parents of my friends that I’m actually close to. I’m inviting a couple of my BM’s parents and the groomsman’s parents because my parents and FH parents are friends with them, and we feel close to them as well. A couple of my BM’s and the groomsman’s parents I’ve never met or only met a couple of times so we aren’t inviting them.

I didn't invite my best friends parents and she didn't invite mine, though if I had a big wedding I would have cause they were like my second parents growing up.

However my best guy friend invited my ex (who he'd been friends with since kindergarden) and his whole family sis & sis gf, bro and bro's gf as well as my ex's parents.

I was quite worried about this as I dumped ex for DH but his whole family was and are the sweetest people and accepted my DH as just another of my friends and treated me like they hadn't seen me since last weekend instead of 3 yrs before.

I invited almost all the parents of people in our wedding party. We know most of them well and have spent lots of time with them growing up. I think it really depends how well you know the parents.
