People you shouldn't invite to your Wedding

I was in agreement until the line about relationships of less than 6 months. I've known couples who were engaged in less than six months. I've known couples who've moved in together in less than six months. I've known couples who were obviously perfect for each other and deeply in love who've dated less than six months.

Cute video, but I disagree with the plus one theory. Who am I to judge the depth of another couple’s relationship based on the length of it? Case in point, my parents knew each other three months before getting engaged, and married at four months. They’ve been married for 56 years.

I disagree about the plus one-I don't like going places alone, so gave all my guests the options to bring whoever they liked 😬Even a STRANGER!
I don't judge relationships-my BIL and soon to be SIL came to my wedding and they had only dated for a couple of months. They will be married a few weeks. 😊
My bosses came to my wedding, and it was wonderful.
All the rest I agree with

Yea agree with the above on plus one's (in the case of <6mo relationships, they are not +1 but SO's). Also, if you see your co-workers or boss socially outside of work, it is fine to invite them.

Ehh.... My mom is helping pay for the wedding.. I'm kind of obligated to invite relatives I haven't seen in many, many years.. Not sending them a save the date though, so hopefully they will be too busy by the time the invitations go out.

Uhm I mean there is no right or wrong on who to invite to your wedding. Videos like this aren't really giving great advice at all. none of these suggestions are required - but then again having any kind of guest list is not a requirement. So there's that

Infact the advice about plus ones is just bad advice any which way you slice it. Plus ones for truly single people are definitely optional but anyone in a relationship needs to be invited together as a couple. You don't get to decide on the seriousness of someones relationship - sorry!

Uh a disagree with several of these.
I am good friends with some co-workers, so of course I invited them.
Some people want to invite children, they may have kids of their own or nieces/nephews that they are close with. Nothing wrong with inviting children.
Everyone's SO should be invited, even if it's a new relationship.

These wedding videos are stupid and make me angry

I tried with the relatives. I really did, and end up hurting some of the relatives I am close to by not inviting their whole families. In the end i compromised and will end up inviting some people I haven’t seen in 10 years.

I agree with all of them lol. There might be be the occasional exception but I personally don't want to pay 100+ a seat and not really want that person there but inciting them because I feel obligated to do so.

I will invite whoever I want regardless of what some YouTube video says.

Not impressed. Who you invite is totally personal preference.

We welcome small children to ours, and if our friends or family have partners they will be invited. It's not appropriate to judge the seriousness of someone else's relationship.

I disagree with all of these except one.

I agree with the random relatives, that makes sense.

Coworkers/Boss: If you are close with your coworkers/boss, why not? I am inviting one coworker (and his wife) and my boss (and his wife). My boss is amazing, I've worked at my job for 6 years and he is literally the best boss I have ever had.

Small Children: I respect people who don't want kids at their wedding but we are super close with the kids in our family and they are definitely invites. We aren't including children of friends, just family.

Classmates: I am not in school but if I had classmates I was FRIENDS with, of course they would be invited. Obviously I'm sure people aren't inviting classmates they don't talk to, that's weird on many levels.

Plus One for a friend,relative who is newly dating (in a relationship less

than 6 months) or a single person who wants to bring a random person: We aren't giving plus ones to single people (though honestly, we don't have many truly single people invited, 90% of our wedding is coupled up), but people can feel free to do whatever they want.

Your Ex: Completely depends on your situation. One of my exes is one of my bridesmaids, we are best of friends. Another ex is coming with her girlfriend. If you are friends with your ex, this isn't an issue. Obviously don't invite an ex you aren't on good terms with.

Have to disagree about the plus ones. My husband and I were married within 6 months of meeting. It'll be 25 years this summer so I think it's working out, LOL!

I used to agree with the new relationships until I met FH. He got invited to a few weddings last year and his friends gave him a hard time about making sure I was actually invited and we were already preparing to move in together. I was pretty hurt to think that I wouldn't be invited. Our relationship was no less real than anyone else's because we had been together for less then 6 months. Everything else on this list I think is completely up to the couple getting married. I personally don't think kids belong at weddings, but other people could love to have kids at their wedding. A guest list is different for every couple.

I agree in general with all of these. I do believe these are personal preference depending on the relationship, but i dont think the video was saying "this way or the highway" as a requirement. We see everyday people with 300-500 guest list and were all thinking who knows that many people to invite. Well outside of our family circles there are a bunch of "others" that we might have close relationships with. However i do think there are events where absolutely everyone doesnt need an invite. It doesn't mean you dont still appreciate their friendship or such. My rule for cutting my list is small children who are participating in the wedding and infants. No co-workers, id like to be fair but these people may not be in my life in the next years to come. Former co-workers turned friends are fine (i even have one as a bridesmaid). I don't plan to invite relatives i don't have an active relationship with excluding a few whom were pivotal in my upbringing. Most of the others wouldn't want to come anyway as we are not close. Old friendships,ex's (completely now for me). No reason for an ex to be there unless you were friends first or ex's from grade school...i just dont see that as right. It's not jealously id just wonder why would they care anyway we have all moved on and found new people. Plus one's are fair in my opinion and people should be mindful of their guestlist when inviting people.

There are some etiquette rules like all significant other's should be invited (regardless of the length of that relationship). However for the most part, it's based on the bride/groom relationship with those people. No other rule applies. No stranger or random video holds the authority to say who should or shouldn't be invited to a wedding.

Seriously I wish I could get people to understand why I tell themn no. that our guest list is set and that if we don’t know someone let alone have even met them that we are not being frugal but my parents are paying for them to come to our wedding and can’t afford to invite everybody and there brother. Keeping our wedding guest list down to just the close family and friends is what we wanted to begin with.

"You done messed up A A RON!" You will get maaaaany mixed views about the plus one situation. Proper etiquette is anyone in a relationship no matter how long needs to be invited.

Sorry, everyone gets a plus one...period. I will not attend a wedding if I have to sit by myself or at a table with people I do not know. It is weird and awkward. So what if I haven't been dating a person for 6 months or longer...that is ridiculous. Everyone gets a plus one.
