Should i invite my ex best friends to my wedding?

Marisa, on September 8, 2022 at 4:46 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

These friends were a big part of my life during a really hard time for myself. We all had our own issues making it hard for us to be good friends to one another but I have so much love for all of them and I can tell they still do too. They were all genuinely happy for me when they heard. They we’re there before him and when I started dating my fiancé. They’ll always hold a special place in my heart but idk about my wedding. One friend is literally a ray of sunshine but he had a drug/alcohol problem and idk if he’s fully recovered because I had to distance myself when he put me at risk. He seems to be doing better but I’m just not sure. My other old friend I’m on good terms with, no issues, talk time to time but she wouldn’t get a plus one cause idk who she’d bring… but I probs don’t want them there! LOL and if I invite her I feel like I have to invite the girl I was closest with and they don’t get along…This friend and I made amends with but I was still hurt when she apologized and I kinda just said love you from a far. She was by my side through a lot but at the same time she wasn’t a good friend to me, many times. Eventually I cut her off for my own good and I don’t see myself hanging out with her now but a huge part of me misses the good times we had together and we still talk time to time to send love. I’m so torn up because she was like a sister to me. I’d love for them all to be there cause we’re all adults now but I’m still just a tad worried. I’ve been burned before and I just hope it’s genuine on all sides. I’m scared to send the invite LOL

    I think you can let the past be past. Just keep the good memories. If it had seemed to have a good contribution to your wedding events, it would have been fine. But you show it as quite risky. People have enough drama without inviting it to their wedding events.

    If you’re having second thoughts, I’d say don’t send it. Like Michael said, let the past be the past. Cherish what you all did have and move forward. I would definitely not be inviting an ex best friend of mine to my wedding.

    It's OK to walk away from relationships that no longer serve you.

    It sounds like you know the answer. I wouldn't invite them
