Would you invite your ex-husband/partner to your wedding?

[Mamioftwo]

Hey!

I'm not in this position.. (yet)

But it is something I thought about. If I was to marry again, would I or should I invite my ex-husband..?? I know it depends a lot on the type of relationship you have post break-up/divorce. Mine was smooth. No drama. We are cordial to each other now, but not 'best buds'..

Do you think it'll jinx your new relationship to have an ex partner?

Just curious if anyone has been in this position..? And what they did?

My DH's ex was at our wedding. They are still good friends. She got married and had a baby last year and she and her husband came to stay with us. I feel no threat from her whatsoever and like her a lot.

None of my exes came to our wedding - I am not in touch with any of them!

Like PP's said - much depends on the style of the relationship/break-up!

I get on really well with my ExH. I have invited him round for DD1s (big) birthday gathering next week.

But no, I wouldn't invite him to my wedding. I think that'd be weird.

I invited my ex to the evening reception - Father of my 2 children. He was up for coming but his gf didn’t want too which was fair enough so they didn’t come.

Dh has 2 kids from 2 separate relationships (neither of us has been married before) - the mother of the oldest child came to the evening reception. She’s lovely and I had no issues with it, always got on with her well. Dh and her still have mutual friends so it was nice and lovely for my step daughter to have her mum and dad together.

However neither dh or myself can stand his youngest child’s mother. She’s very bitter and jealous of our relationship. Constantly makes life difficult for us so she didn’t get an invite lol.

Slightly different but MIL attended ex SIL wedding to new husband and the subsequent children refer to her as 'special aunty' (she is obviously granny to the children ex SIL had with BIL)

We are going to my fiancées ex's evening reception and my ex is coming to my upcoming evening reception.
Wouldn't have invited him to the day though.

I almost think, ceremony yes, with the dc, but letting hair down afterwards maybe not. Haven't really considered it though

Years ago my ex (lived together for several years) invited me to his wedding. I declined, partly because I had no interest in going and also because I thought his wife-to-be might hate the idea, especially as I'd been quite close to his family. It didn't occur to me to invite him to mine!

I wouldn’t mind my ex being there but it would also mean DP’s ex coming which I wouldn’t be thrilled about! She’s ok, and we get on fine, but she’d just say something patronising or irritating and ruin my day!

I’m still close to X-in laws so would feel odd inviting them and not XH, but in all honesty I’d probably rather elope and save all the aggro!

We did spend Christmas Day with DP’s ex and my ex plus all the DCs. I can do it for a day when it’s all about the kids, but my wedding day should be about me & my DP, not the DCs or wider family.

Danced my socks off at my ex-h's wedding, as did my Mum. His wife and I share the same first name, just to add to the oddness. It was honestly a joyous day.
