So, how do you girls feel about inviting EX's to your wedding?

I was having this conversation w/ someone and the way I feel is that there should be no one among my guests that could say they've had 'relations' w/ either the bride or groom. Mind you, I didn't always feel like this. I have one or two Ex's that I'm still friends with. (They're not invited and they understand)
This is not an issue w/ FH and I, we pretty much agree. But I'm curious to how other people feel about this...

This is interesting to read. DH was dead set against me inviting the one ex I still speak to, who I dated about 6 years ago now. The ex was really upset about not being invited and won't speak to me. Strange, huh? I thought he would understand, but I guess he doesn't. We only speak every few months and never really see each other, even though he just moved to NYC.

So... there will be no exes.

Well technically one of my BMs dated my FH so she's his ex They dated in highschool for all of two weeks. That's actually how FH & I got to be friends. Personally, I think it depends on the ex & the relationship. FH & I are highschool sweethearts so there aren't many significant exes for either of us. I don't think either of us would be opposed to having exes at the wedding if there was a friendship there.

I did invite an ex, however, he lives far away, and did not come. Which was just fine with me, but I wanted to invite him because he was still a friend.

ditto, same exact situation here. and fh was okay with it. the ex is engaged too.

FH doesnt associate with any ex's..one of them is a crazy stalker..i occasionally talk to a couple every now and then but wouldnt think of inviting them

As long as FH is cool with it, it sounds fine if you are friends with no hard feelings!

We both became a good friend with 1 of our ex...both invited us to their own wedding so we just returning the favor...Not because we can't be a lover, we cant be a good friend...

We had 'hook ups' at our wedding, but these are people that you would go there with and it was the most uncomfortable strange ridiculous thing....now we just laugh about it. They are good friends of both mine and FHs so we couldnt imagine them not being there.
As far as true blue EX's nope-they werent allowed

for me i had a rule : If my husband's d**k was ever inside of you or any of your orifices (think clinton)....sorry you're not allowed to attend. (btw--that went both ways)

I SOOO agree and it has NOTHING to do w/ insecurity! Well said!!!

I agree you took the words right out of my mouth LMAO

I might have an ex in attendance on a technicality...One of my good friends is dating my ex...it doesnt bother me at all that he will be there...it was a long time ago, and we're in the present.

i'm friends with my ex. My FH is friends with my ex. I see no problems in inviting him to the wedding and it would go the same for my FH. I love my FH. and he's marrying me! although i could understand why other brides would feel different. It's what you and you FH decide.

i did invite one of my ex's. we only dated briefly in college before FH and i even really met and were in the same group of friends, which FH eventually came into once we started dating. so, since we wanted to get the whole group back together again, we invited him. i think it really just depends on the situation.

My FH wouldn't go if I invited an ex. I wouldn't even bring it up.
I don't think it's a big deal but since he feels so strongly, I wouldn't invite anone

Hell to the no!!! Considering that my ex and my FH HATE each other...and almost got into a fist fight....I would NEVER invite him!! Although, I am inviting his brother and his best friend who I am still relatively close to. He isn't CRAZY about that....but he realizes it has nothing to do with my ex at this point. Anyone of the opposite sex that has seen either of us naked is DEFINENTLY not invited! My cousin had his ex at his wedding...she is actually friends with the bride..but it was WEIRD!! She spent more time talking to his family than the bride did and the whole time I was thinking...she saw the groom naked!!
