I got engaged over a year ago now and I know exactly what type of wedding I want and cant wait to get started, BUT...

My Dad has told me he will not be there if my Mum is there (got divorced over 10 years ago now). I am not super close with either of them, but my Dad knows that I would never get married without him and my younger siblings (he remarried), so he knows he can set me this ultimatum.

I feel aweful having to tell my Mum that she is not invited to my wedding and everytime I try and start planning something for my wedding i get upset and stressed about this and put it off...

Has anyone else had to deal with this? I could really do with some advice TIA

I'd just invite them both and refuse to be drawn on the matter. Asssuming they don't speak to ona another they arre unlikey to ask "have you been invited?".

If your dad asks if your mum has been invited just say you will not comment on your guest list.

Your mum may not have been the world's greatest parent but as a mum I would have been utterly heartbroken not to have been invited to my daughters weddings.
