Hello,
I could really use some advice.
We have put together a draft guest list for our big day, which is around 75 people. Now I understand it's etiquette to invite married couples, people who are engaged and people who are living together as a couple, but that being said do I have to invite my aunty's boyfriend when I don't speak to him and don't particularly like the guy?
Somehow he manages to take everything you say and make it about him and his sons from a previous marriage. There's part of me that feels like I have to invite him, I wouldn't want to cause any upset with my aunt or family, but also they have to remember it's our special day and we should be able to invite who we actually would like to share the day with us without any pressure from relatives. It's expensive as you are aware, but I don't want to pay for someone who I don't particularly want to be there; I've already cut an old friend from the list who I know will be expecting an invite, because they haven't bothered with either of us in eight months, even when we've tried to make arrangements with them, why should we pay a lot of money per person for people who can't be bothered with you or people you don't want there.
So the question is: do I have to invite my aunt's boyfriend?
Any advice would be appreciated.
A fellow bride to be.
