Some people find this a little awkward, others says "Its okay, no harm done." Whats your views? Do you think it is appropriate to invite your ex to your wedding? How would you feel instead of him/her standing beside you, there somebody new. Frankly speaking, I dont think it is a wise decision. It might cause a tension. But some people do not mind about it especially those who has become so close to your ex. Ok mylotian, let talk about this so that those who are about to get married will have peace of mind whether to invite or not to invite. lol

Not a good idea in my opinion. Anyway, even if you made the invitation as a peace offering it would be very crass of the ex to accept. Can you imagine? She's a right goer your new wife. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Does she still like 69? I remember when we were doing it down by the river... Pleeeeease!

I think that is inappropriate to invite you ex at your wedding. But I think that if your wife/husband got no bad feeling about it and it doesn't care about it in all honesty, maybe it can. I really do think that it a bad idea to impose the ex to the wedding as it can cause serious tensions.

I'm not about to get married but there is no way I would invite my ex to my wedding. He is too obnoxious and has a big embarrassing mouth. I don’t think it would be wrong to invite an ex if they are friendly as some divorced people are. It would be nice if divorcing people could remain friends for the sake of the kids. But that usually doesn’t happen

With that kind of personality, you are wise not to invite your ex.

Honesty & modesty aside, my ex-boyfriend's family is still close with us. They still invite us in any occasion that they have weddings, birthdays and even Christmas eve.For now,my ex-boyfriend is in the US and has his own family. Still he keep in touch with us and send gifts too..for my baby.We're friends and we belong as family.

It only mean one thing - your ex-boyfriend's family like you very much. Even though you and your ex has chosen separate ways, you are still treated as family which is nice. You are lucky indeed.

LOL ok this might sound bad but my ex is my fiance's best man! After we broke up the 3 of us didnt get along too well but now we are all good friends again. I'm kinda nervous on how it will be though because recently he told me that I broke his heart and he hasnt gotten over me..... I didnt know he felt this way, but the wedding is 4 months away and hopefully everything goes smooth!!

Congratulation. You should be very busy now preparing for your wedding. Put the past behind and move one. Be very happy with your chosen life partner. I am sure you will have a very beautiful wedding and everyone is one big happy family.

Personally I wouldn't invite my ex to my wedding. Even if we had become friends after we broke up I still wouldn't do it. There would be some kind of tension there and I'm sure people would be talking if they knew your ex was there. Some people on the other hand see it as okay and somethig great to do. They say well we are really good friends and my fiance is completely okay with him/her being there so I am going to invite that person.

Hello,ellie,I think if you still be a friend with your ex, then there is not problem to invite him.her to your wedding party, the relationship with your ex have been passed, and he/she will be happy with your marriage. May be it will cause a tension if you still get some feelings with him/her,if it does,it is not godo to invite him/her.
