Anyone inviting or did invite any ex's to the wedding?
I didn't because i never remained friends with any, I was alwasy the one who ended it and it was for a reason so I never felt the need...may be harsh but it is how I feel. FH on the other is a different story. We invited one of his, but is also a close family friend of his that he grew up with, they were high school sweethearts I guess you could say and dated for 7 years...I have met her a bunch of times and she is a great girl. We invited her and her boyfriend to the party and I am starting to think is it going to be wierd? or will FH feel wierd about it?? Or am I just thinking way to much??!

if it's been a really long time and she's friends with the family i wouldn't worry! high school is long gone! Either way...the only person he'll be looking at or thinking about it YOU!

Don't let it get to you. You already invited her so you can't change things. I think it's nice that he and his ex are in good terms. It shows how mature your FH is!

Re: Anyone inviting or did invite any ex's to the wedding?
No ex's at our wedding.I doubt you or your FH will feel strange.... it's not like youll be hanging out with them all night... you'll be too busy saying hi to everyone else there and hanging out with your friends all night.

Re: Anyone inviting or did invite any ex's to the wedding?
For us No. But sounds to me like your situation isn't so abnormal -- sounds like your brain might really be in overdrive.

Re: Anyone inviting or did invite any ex's to the wedding?
No, but my ex's mom came to our mass and said she wished I had invited her to the wedding.
I am friendly with both my exes as in, no hard feelings, but it wasn't appropriate (in my case) to invite them - DH isn't friendly with them obviously.
PLUS - I was romantic and intimate with them - I didn't need myself nor DH to be reminded of that on our wedding day.

we invited my FH ex-girlfriend from highschool, i never felt a threat it was over sooooooo long agao and she is soooo nice to me and thinks we are so good together!! although my FH-ex (the mother of his daughter) was so threatened by her, it was rediculous!!!
i think you are thinking too much, he's marrying you, silly!!! don't sweat it!

Yeah no there is def. no threatened feelings more just like it is going to be weird at all, but I think I am just turning the wheels to much up there today...

Re: Anyone inviting or did invite any ex's to the wedding?
No of our ex's are invited but, then again I have never been in a 7 year relationship. FH has but, it just ran it's course and she moved away and they don't keep in touch. I think it's very big of you to be acceptable of that and therfore, I wouldn't worry about it feeling weird. I find that the closer the wedding gets, the more thinking I'm doing and half of it is nonsense. I think it's just part of the process! You are going to be so over the place the day of wedding you probably won't even know she's there (harsh but true)

Re: Anyone inviting or did invite any ex's to the wedding?
i don't have that problem...whew! but, my FSIL's ex-fiance is invited to the wedding b/c FH and FFIL are both still friendly with him...but, my FMIL and FSIL are now freaking out about where to seat him b/c he's single and she's already remarried!!! i keep assuring them both that they probably won't even realize he's there... there's going to be so much else going on! but yeah, there will be one 'ex' there..lol

Re: Anyone inviting or did invite any ex's to the wedding?
I dont think he would have let you invite her if he thought it would be weird. I also don think she would come if she thought it would be weird. We didn't invite any ex's because we are not friends with any of them. But I think this always depends on the situation!Welcome New Vendors
