Ditching guests

Smiler08, 15 April, 2008 at 13:15 Posted on Planning 0 6

One of our guests has fallen out big time with my ushers wife, who is a good friend of mine too, and consequently it's spread and her and her bf have fallen out with the rest of our friends.

I think it's going to ne quite awkward having them at the wedding and I really don't want to invite them. The problem is that we've already sent out the save the dates. What should I say if they ask, because at the end of the day nothings happened between us? ?

    You haven't sent the invites yet? Just don't send them one. If they ask then I would just tell them the truth. They must be aware of the situation. Is there a chance they may make up again before the invites are sent out?

    I'd personally say leave your problems at the door, you're here for our wedding!! If they can't forget their grievances for your sake they shouldn't be called friends.

    If it really is an issue perhaps they'll decline anyway.

    How many other guests do you have? If you have enough and everyone is still friends with you I would still invite them. I'm sure they can be grown up enough not to fight on your day! My SIL2B and FIL2B haven't spoken for years and were both considering not coming if the other did but we pointed out we're not asking them to sit next to each other and chat for hours! There are enough other people there for them to talk to without even having to acknoledge each other!!

    We're having 120 to the sit down but they were evening guests anyway and coming all the way from Swansea to Eastbourne so they may not have turned up anyway!

    I just wouldnt bother sending them an invite. If you dont want them there, then dont have them. I uninvited my aunt and cousin yesterday as i refuse to have people who may cause a scene

    I just wouldn't send them an invite! Unless you really want them to come in which case I'd speak to everyone involved first and make them promise to let it go just for one day.

    A friend who is doing my makeup has just ended her relationship to one of the ushers after 2.5yrs together and they aren't on speaking terms but have agreed to either be civil or stay away from each other on our wedding day - I'm stuck as I can't uninvite either!!

    Hi,

    If you dont want them there dont invite them, but if you do send them one. I'm sure your guests will have too much respect for you to cause a scene, and its only for one evening.

    But stick to your guns either way ?) I uninvited my parents the other day and refuse to be swayed!
