I think I would flip a sh*t! lol

In the case where an ex is dating a groomsman I would think it would be ok to invite her....
I wouldnt mind though...one of DH's exes was at our reception with her boyfriend, it was the first time I met her (shes from OOT) and I loved her. I think if you can tell they are over the past and each other then it shouldnt be an issue. But if the ex is a looney toon then beotch does NOT need to be there lol.
It's like: You're Invited! + 1 (No looney toons please!)

Re: Exes at a Wedding
I'm actually good friends with a few of my ex's. We dated a WHILE back and there are no romantic feelings towards each other at all (I think lol).. However, I would NEVER invite an ex-bf to my wedding... It's not necessary... But honestly, for some reason, I don't think I would feel uncomfortable if FH invited any of his exs... mainly because they're all pretty ugly HAHA!

Re: Exes at a Wedding
My ex-husband actually just asked me last weekend if he was invited to my wedding. I told him 'Absolutely Not!'....then he had the nerve to ask why not? Trust me if you knew the story you would really be wondering what kind of drugs this guy is taking!!

Re: Exes at a Wedding
I think you might be referring to my posting. In their case they dated very young when they were teenagers. They all grew up together so she and her mom are like part of the family. I think it would have been even more awkward not to invite her. She is def. invited to my wedding! she is so much fun to be around... love her. But I am not in that situation, so I dont know how I would have felt about it.

Ooo haha okay awesome... Yeah when I first read that I was like ummm.... over my dead body! LOL!
Well that situation sounds sweet... If his exes were to come to ours though... none of them are sweet, or welcome.

Re: Exes at a Wedding
Regarding my Ex's......I tried staying friends w/all of them but we eventually lost touch. I believe all of them (the serious ones) are married so I'm sure their wives wouldnt appreciate the invite.
FH's Ex's.........He dated casually for a long time so I dont know about any of those girl fiends. The 2 serious relationships I do know of were horrid to him....so there is NO WAY in heck even if FH had the desire to invite them, I would have to say no. I wouldnt be able to look at them w/out wanting to throw something large & heavy at them.

Re: Exes at a Wedding
Unfortunately yes. FH is still friends with an ex, and 2 of her friends. They were friends first, dates for 6-9 months, obviously had lots of sex, broke up and became friends all before him and I started dating. He stays casual with her, but gets together for Starbucks or whatever every once an a while to catch up. She's really nice, I know there's no chance of them hooking up or her trying to steal him or any of that silly stuff. It just really bothers me that he stuck his dingdong in her whowho.

Re: Exes at a Wedding
Yep. FHs high school/college gf will be there w her husband. Lol. We went to her wedding a few years ago and her mom came up to me and said something along the lines of 'hold onto him. He's a great guy'
I'm not close to my exes, just acquantances. So no for them.
But this wouldn't be an issue for either of us. Let them see us happily inlove and saying our vows outloud for all to hear!

Re: Exes at a Wedding
My ex is comming... but it's okay with my FH as my FH and my ex are now just about best friends....
We hang out all the time together.. but we just have a rare situation..
In any case, if you don't feel comfortable with the ex there.... don't have them there.. both bride and groom should be okay with it!

Re: Exes at a Wedding
I won't be having any exes there except maybe 1 (of course the 1 i hate the most)
But she's not invited...her daughter (my future stepdaughter) is... we haven't worked out all the plans yet but she may have to pick up their daughter at the end of the night (there's no way I'm having an 8 yr old stay with us on our wedding night lol). I can't stand FH's exgf and I never want to see her but I really wouldn't mind seeing her on my wedding day.... it is probably the day that I will look my absolute best and she can see us all happy and in love and then she can go home and feel bad about herself b/c shes a miserable old bag lol
As for the person who asked what to do w/ guests who are exes- I have no clue what I'm going to do. My cousin's exgf (high school sweetheart) became my best friend after they broke up. She was my roomie in college (did I mention my cousin went to the same college as us? lol)... After college she met a great guy (they just got engaged 2 weeks ago) and he met a great girl- and those 2 ppl happen to be exes too!!!
