what do you when you have a party and you have people that you don't like to be around but you have no choice but to invite them because it is a need? well, we are faced with the same predicament. and since ours is a catered affair the number of heads is really a concern. and they are one family, as in 4 of them! my husband doesn't want to invite them at all. but for the sake of peace, i will invite the parents. so that there won't be issues with us. i told my husband that we can have our stand in other times, but not during our daughter's birthday. sigh, i don't want problems like them. i am a peacemaker. but sometimes really, why do we invite people we don't like? i still have two other people that i don't want to invite because they are very insulting but because they are with us in our group, it is a must. what do you during these times? what can you say about this predicament?

Hi spoiled311! This is one tough decision to make huh? Well, there were instances in the past where people I don't like just shows up at parties or simple get-togethers. They either gate-crushed or were invited by people I invited. If that is the case, I will just ignore their presence which worked in my favor a lot of times. Besides, I do not feel the obligation to spend much time with them since I did not invite them anyway. It just so happened they're already there and I don't think driving them away right in the middle of the party is a good idea. But if the scenario is in making the decision whether to invite or not, I will always make a stand and will not invite people I do not like.
