Do you think it’s necessary to invite an ex to the wedding?

No, it's not necessary, and may be a bad idea to invite an ex to a wedding. It could be a good idea, though, if the breakup/divorce was amicable and there are children involved.

My wife and I amicably divorced after 20+ years of marriage. I wasn't invited to her wedding, though I later found out it would have been okay if I had attended. My wedding was a small immediate family only ceremony (10 people in total), and my ex-wife was not invited, nor were many of my relatives and friends.

Thanks for MHO

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I think 85% of the time it's probably not a very good idea. It sounds sweet when you're trying to get over eachother but it's cruel and unusual to everyone involved

[OlderAndWiser]

Necessary? Quite the opposite; it's a damned stupid idea!

[Finchie40]

Not at all, your ex is an ex for a reason , why you would want them at your wedding?

[msg321]

Completely depends on how you broke up and how is your relationship with your ex. If you are still friends then it is ok. It is no different than inviting one of your friends to your wedding but if you aren't I think it is not necessary if you don't want to make him/her jealous by inviting your wedding day. Are you about to marry and thinking inviting your ex to your wedding? Just curious.

[Lliam]

That would seem awkward for the bride or groom. Even if you had an amicable breakup and are still on friendly terms.

The only way it would make sense would be if your ex was remarried and you were friends with them and their partner and your new partner was okay with them attending. Or if you and your ex had children together, it would be reasonable to allow them to attend for the childrens' sake.

[rachel776]

the etiquette is you do invite them if you have kids with them and the kids will be at the wedding

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

No. Were they some kind of major financial sponsor? Is it a situation where they found out they’re better friends but have a child with the one getting married? Other than those scenarios it’s not even a thought to invite them.

[jahaims]

Staying in contact with an ex is a red flag let alone inviting to a wedding. That is immature and mental af

[genericname85]

wtf? fuck no. i think it's necessary NOT to invite them. unless for some reason you're still really good friends with them, which is rare in my experience.

[Nikki1989]

Not necessary, not unnecessary either. An ex was at my wedding.

[midnightmoon05]

Nope…

unless he has a partner and they both agree to attend.

[Unycorn]

No. Why? Except you are anything as best friends.

But you would not ask then

[Unycorn]

Your wedding

You decide who is your guest

[Noredcarpet]

Hell no, you invite who you like, it is your wedding. I respect those who do not and those who do. It depend on their current relationship being friends I think if they do.

[RxR0954]

Necessary for what exactly? If it’s out of spite then well… do it. If you think it’s necessary to do that just to be polite then don’t, you don’t have to please your ex.

[TonyMetal___86]

That's ridiculous, i don't support that idea at all

[dudeinohio]

My ex wife was invited because my kids were. It was the nice thing to do because we get along very well.

[serious]

No, absolutely not. Ex should not be invited anywhere, infact once they are ex then they should not be a part of the woman's life.

[Cormac995]

never invite exes to a wedding staying in contact with exes is a bad idea from the start let alone inviting them to the wedding.

[DrPepper12]

No. Full stop. Also nothing wrong in doing so. You guys call

[Xawyx-2]

No, but you can, it's your personal choice.

[HighValue]

It is completely unacceptable. Any contact with an ex is unacceptable to me and I would end the relationship over it.

[DryGermanGuy]

Pretty much nothing is necessary, not even a wedding ceremony - you could elope! :-)

[capriVib]

Sure, he could even be a witness at the wedding. lol

[exitseven]

For why? Just to rub his nose in it? Thats a real dick move.

[Dreamclouds]

If you have no character the word necessary is still in your vocabulary and not your own will.

[noohair]

No way. I would not apperciate that if my partner did that...

[msc545]

You only do this if you want to ruin the wedding for yourself.

[beenherebefore]

If you respect your Husband to be you won’t do it.

[Love_Guru]

Necessary, no. But I have no problem with it.

[pinkpowder]

No😂 it’s your wedding why would you want a ex there exs are for a reason

[Staximus]

That's not cool

[Staximus]

Or necessary

[PeachyPie93]

Nah no reason for that lol

[Jennz6]

Do you have children with your Ex?

[CubaPirate]

The hell nooooo

[Miristheiss]

You should definitely NOT do that.

[Miristheiss]

Per your picture you are covered in tattoos.
So you are partially unhinged. That is why the notion of having your ex at your wedding, an insane idea, even entered your head.

[itsannalee]

Tattoos don’t make someone unhinged, but obsessing over someone else’s tattoos might. And still, no one wants you 🥱

[Miristheiss]

Make?
Only mentally off women get them.
OF COURSE you won't think you have issues.

[itsannalee]

You keep proving my point, way too obsessed with women who don’t want you 🥱. But what else could we expect from someone like you 💅🏽?

[WhitneySnow]

Not necessary and possibly inappropriate

[mysteriousNicholas]

Unnecessary 😅

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes so I can rub it in there face😊😊😊😊

[berserk945]

Not unless you are still close afterwards.

[Abbycado]

Nope.

[hafinjun]

Hell no
