Fill In The Blank: I wish I didn't have to invite _____

I am actually happy with my whole 22 guests I invited. They must be special because I have an enormous family. My mom has 10 siblings who all have their own kids, my brother has 9 children of his own, my sister has 8.....it's just insanity over there.

Before the wedding I was worried but now I was happy to have everyone there.

Most of my fiancé’s family. Some he hasn’t even talked to for years, there’s a ton of family drama and somehow they just have to be there. I’m losing my mind...and hard-earned money. I’m not looking forward to organizing seating (or paying for my future FIL’s drinking habit!)

View quoted message Yep. My mom is not invited, and FMIL is seated at the head table! My mom and I have been estranged for many years, and I am thankful to be inheriting a motherly figure!


Do what you feel is the right choice for your situation. Good luck!

My future father in law. He is just so negative and judgy

People who cause drama in the immediate family. I just might not anyway.

A needy person I didn't like for so many years.

No one ! Anyone I felt this way about didn't get invited. It's too much stress to worry about the "obligation invites" so we ditched it.

I’m good with everyone we invited!

Oh don’t get me started.. i would love to not have to invite my future in-laws.. such miserable, negative awful people. Also my future SIL always has a new boyfriend and i would LOVE to not give her a plus one

View quoted message I don't want to invite my stepdad. Not the same situation but similar. He's not a good person and we do not get along at all. He was extremely rude and disrespectful to me in the past so my fiance absolutely hates him. However if we don't invite him then my mom won't go either..might not be the worst thing but I think I'll regret not having her there. I also feel that my FMIL and my stepmom are more like mothers to me than my own so I get that.

My mum.. we aren't sending out invitations for awhile but I dread making the decision of whether to give her an invite or not. We just aren't close and my FH's mum feels more like a mother figure and supportive to me. Anyone in the same boat or been through it? Would love advice about what to do

Some of my cousins...

A particular guest to make my parents happy, as well as a friend's boyfriend because she could've just been my other friend's (her best friend) date. I've never met her boyfriend and our mutual friend said he's a mansplainer. Yuck.

A particular cousin. I’ve never wanted to invite him but opted to skip the drama that would come if I didn’t. Turns out he’s making the trip out for just the wedding and not the welcome dinner, which I think is kind of pointless and I’d personally rather he just didn’t come but...meh. C’est la vie.

My SIL's in-laws (her FIL, BIL's and their wive's are all invited).

We didn't invite his estranged sisters, at first we had them on the list but we needed to cut our list down for numbers and his mom said don't invite them, plain and simple i guess? We'll see what happens when they don't get an invite.

Honestly there’s four people on the list on my fiancé’s side that we really don’t see the reason for them to be there. We think two of them are going to be in Mexico so they might be gone but we’ll see

Cousins I haven't talked to in years!

A certain aunt that won't end up coming, she hasn't been to a family event in so many years but inviting her in order to not start any feuds.

Also my mom's cousin, they are super close but I only met them a handful of times. They are already excited about coming though so can't uninvite lol

One of the groomsmen girlfriend.. shes just too much. She is always messaging me asking me where she will sit and what she will do during the time they are getting ready and all that.. my response was idk. And I left it at that 😂

Oh man. I wish we didn't have to invite people who we don't see regularly. Those cousins that you only see at Christmas if that.

I wish we didn’t have to invite one of his friends wife ( Betty-Ann)

Anyone lol...JK. theres really no one were inviting that we dont want there

A couple of my FH's friends... they get really rowdy, and the one guy is really nice and easy to get along with but his wife is AWFUL. wish I didnt have to invite her haha

There is actually no one on my list that I would uninvite.. I just didn’t invite them to begin with.

There is no one on my side that I did not want to invite- but there is a lot of family on his side that was obligatory.

Um...some extended family on both sides.

Mix of drama and just not having seen them in a while.

Actually there's no one on my list I'd want to un-invite!

I wish we didn’t have to invite my FHs BILs family. Can you explain that one to me?! We don’t even like them because of how rude they are to us. At family functions when they are there we say hello and they don’t acknowledge us for the rest of the evening. I’ve been told the expectation is to invite them or it’s rude...

There's no one really that I wish I didn't have to invite. Maybe some of my FH's friends from back home, only because we already knew they wouldn't come (it was more for the gesture) yet we STILL haven't received their RSVP's back and the deadline is 2 weeks...

All of his family... they are so large and they are 70 people out of 100
