5 Reasons NOT To Invite Your Ex To The Wedding

You want to rub his or her nose in it. This may be one of the biggest days of your life, but you shouldn’t be gloating. Especially if your ex still has feelings for you and will feel anything but happiness for you as you get married. He or she may feel a last minute rage of passion and try to sabotage the wedding and win you  back.

You and your ex are “still friends” and chat every once in a while…over Facebook. Don’t feel that just because you still keep in touch with an ex, he or she would want to be invited to your wedding. Your wedding is not the time to jumpstart friendships with a long-lost love, or catch up with “the one who got away.”

You were married before and seeing your ex-wife or ex-husband may be a sad reminder. It might cause you to think about how love can end and how sad it is if it doesn’t work out. It can potentially take away from the happiness and joy of your wedding day.

“See, I’m finally over you.” Don’t invite your ex just to prove a point. Your ex will eventually find out through the grapevine (or Facebook) that you’re happily married. Plus, why would you care about how an ex feels about you? The only person’s feelings you should care about is your future spouse!

Your fiancé agrees to invite your ex to the wedding, but you know deep down that he or she is not okay with it. Bless your dear fiancé, but if you know your future husband/wife is not going to be 100% comfortable on the wedding day, don’t do it. It’s not worth it.

It may not be right to invite him or her to your wedding but it shows the EX that you found someone MUCH better than them & that the person your going to marry is treating you SO MUCH BETTER than the EX ever did.
