Wedding guests

Hi everyone hope some of you can help us . Our parents are forcing us (or making us feel guilty) to invite the brides aunt and my mum is forcing us to invite her parents who I don't like anymore because of the way they have treated her in the past year (long story) . we don't want to elope because we want close family and friends to witness us getting hitched . It isn't as easy as just inviting close family because brides work mate is taking photos and will have to invite his wife and other work mates (who we are closer to than photographer ) . Also the bride would love to invite her granny because they are close but (same old story why is brides granny there if grooms isn't invited) none of grooms grandparents would be invited because of past problems .

Any ideas would be much appreciated we both are at a loss and don't know where to go from here .

thanks

    We've had all this rubbish too - both sides. Who is paying? If they are paying for any of it then its reasonable for them to expect a very small say but if youre footing the bill then this is one day that you dont have to compromise on.

    you won't please everyone so dont even try as there will always be people moaning about something - take it from someone who has had a stupendous amount of rubbish from all angles!

    This is your day and your oh day, no one elses. Invite only those who you want to be there and definitely don't invite anyone who is likely to make either of you feel like cr@p. Why should you?

    Please remember that this is your day, noone elses and if anyone gets arsey with you then remind them that they don't need to be there!

    Good luck x x

    We are only inviting people we want there; all of H2B's uncles & aunts, but none of mine. I will not be be inviting one of my brothers as he is a troublemaker.

    Don't worry about what other people may or may not think, just about what makes the two of you happy.
