Guest List Issue - long post!

LONG POST …. sorry

Ok FH and I both come from hugee familys and have lots of good family friends, its like you invite one you invite all…Currently my guest list # is 300, and its definitely not going to exceed. FMIL and I agreed to a designated number of guests they can bring, and it all worked out perfectly.

But the real issue is at hand is WHO their inviting. Long before FH and I got together or got engaged he went out with this girl on and off who was crazy about him, I know her well too, because she lives around in the neighborhood. She was obsessive over {FH} any girl that talked to him, she was rude and nasty to. Well that girl lets call her “X” just so I have a name to use. Well X’s whole freaking family is friends with my FMIL. In addition my Future sister in law is MARRIED to X’s FIRST cousin. After I got engaged to my FH, X started lots of drama, was rude to me, tried to take my friends away, spread rumors…all this childish behavior, even caused fights between me and FH. FH has not spoken to her or seen her for a while now…nor does he want to. But occasionally X’s mom stops by at their house and X’s mom is always interacting with my Future Sis in law, since theyre now related. I DO NOT want to invite X, nor her family. She has a big family. And my inlaws want to invite them, and want to invite them because it will “look bad” because their daughter is married in to their family and they are family friends too… otherwise they’ll make rude remarks or be offended. Argh

I can see someone inviting their ex gf IF all 3 people are friends, but in this case I HATE her, she always tried to make my life miserable… I don’t want to see her family or HER on my wedding day. And my inlaws insist they come. They wont even right Mr&Mrs. They want to write Mr&Mrs. ---- and family. [which means shes included]. My FH says she want show up, but I think she will , just to spite me because she is a total B*tch. Im not willing to take that chance, and FH parents are putting pressure on me…that it wont matter its my big day, FH loves me so on and so forth…I tried talking to them….but its no hope, I will talk to them again… but this always ends up as a fight….

that's such a tough spot to be in. I agree, you should be honest with your FH's family. Tell them what she's done to you. Maybe then they'll understand.
I would hate to see someone i hate on my special day. Good luck!! i'll have my fingers crossed.

Ugh....I'm sorry that you're in such a sh!tty position. Honestly, you and your fh need to sit down with your (future)in-laws and make it very clear to them that NEITHER of you want her (or her family) at your wedding. This is your day, and you definitely don't need this b!tch ruining even a minute of it...
Good luck!!

FH is not stubborn about the situation. FH says he has no feelings for her, he doesnt care if shes there or not, makes no difference... [ well it shouldnt ] and he thinks i should 'comprimise' and invite them because otherwise his sister will be in a tough spot...and his parents will have to deal with crap later on...


but what about MEEE?!

Your fh needs to realize that it's not about his lack of feelings for her, it's about YOU being uncomfortable and unhappy on YOUR wedding day!!! Yes, his sister is a part of this girls family, but this is your wedding, not your SIL's....

I understand that we all need to compromise, but I personally don't think this is the time. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to complicate things for you - I just think that we all deserve to be beyond overjoyed on our wedding days!

Just because your FSIL is related to them doesn't mean they have to come. We happen to be inviting both of my FSIL's families-but that is ONLY because they are all great! I wouldn't feel comfortable with one of FH's exes being at our wedding-I don't blame you. Are your FILs paying anything towards the wedding? I would put my foot down and say that only the parents can be invited-end of story.

I definitely agree, he needs to realize that this is about how you feel in the situation, that its not a happy or comfortable situation and its really not fair to you on YOUR wedding day. You want people that love and care about you around you on this day not someone who has been rude and nasty!

I think in the this is hard but I would invite them all. Afterall YOU are the one that wound up with your FH not the X. It would be a great time to shove that notion into their faces. Just ignore them and enjoy your day
