Even though this is the most important day of your life and one you will never forget the details of, it is important to consider who will be in attendance. You may first think that everyone you have considered a friend should be invited and share in your moment, but you may want to reconsider. There are certain people that you should consider not inviting because of possible issues with possible confrontations.
- The “Ex”: If you know for sure that your fiancé(e) is ok with your ex being at the wedding and there are no hard feelings this may be ok. Some people do have good relationship with ex’s and this is ok if it doesn’t affect someone, but if it does it can ruin a wedding day.
- The “Party Drinker”: Sure this person may be fun at the occasional get-together at a friends house because they get ridiculous when drunk, but who wants that at their wedding? If you are going to have alcohol served at your reception you should consider each and every person you invite before sending invitations. Nothing makes things go downhill faster than alcohol.
- The “Coworker”: You should decide early on if everyone at work is invited to your wedding or if nobody from work is invited. You should really consider only these two options unless you have a friend that can keep their attendance quiet. This can kill work relationships very quickly if you don’t consider the repercussions.
