Who not to invite to your Wedding

You're getting married, and everyone will be there. You've told everyone you need to tell and even had

a couple of friends tell you they've gotten a plus-one because you wouldn't want to be rude by not inviting them But what if you don't want them there? Who should you exclude from your invitation list? Some people are just not worth inviting to your wedding. Some of these will be traditional guests, and others might be more surprising. But one thing that is for certain is that you want the people in your life to love and support you while, at the same time loving and supporting your life partner - this means they will make wonderful wedding guests.

People you don't like

Weddings are supposed to be fun and memorable for all involved If you invite someone you don't like, aren't fond of, or find annoying, the only thing that will be memorable about them attending is how much they made your day miserable! Don't invite someone just because they are acquaintances or distant family members. If you think it will bring more drama than happiness. leave them off the list!

People you haven't seen in years

Don't invite people you haven't seen in years. Yes, it's nice to keep in touch with friends from high school or college, but if you haven't seen them in years, chances are you won't see them again until the next reunion. Don't invite every person on your Facebook friend list, either.

Family members who are hostile towards each other

If your family isn't on the best terms. it's usually not a good idea to invite both parties. Even if they're technically civil, there's still a chance that an argument will break out at your wedding reception. If you've been in this situation before, you know what we mean. You've probably had two family members argue at a party or event It's uncomfortable for everyone around them, and I'm sure you don't want that happening at your wedding. That's why it's better not to invite them.

Anyone who can drive a wedge between you and your fiancé

If a relative or friend has a negative history with your significant other, it's good to keep them away from your wedding day. If there has been drama in the past or they don't approve of your choice of spouse then just leave them off the guest list, out of respect to the person you are about to marry.

Your ex partners

There's nothing wrong with keeping in touch with your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend BUT is it really a good idea to invite them to your wedding? We don't think so. It's highly unfair to your other half and could cause some unnecessary awkwardness on your big day, so kick them off the guest list to be safe.

Of course, this is not a comprehensive list of those you shouldn't invite to your wedding. There are many people in this world that you may not want to invite. The best way to decide is to ask yourself "Why do I want this person at my wedding?" If the answer is because they are your good friend, and you want them to share in your joy, then, by all means, invite them But if the reason is simply that you have to fill a few extra seats or that you feel obliged because you have some sort of connection to them, then don't

Dressing the Bridesmaids SAME OR DIFFERENT

May 17, 2024

Traditionally, bridesmaids have worn the same dress to create a cohesive and uniform look. This practice dates back to ancient times when bridesmaids were tasked with protecting the bride from evil spirits or potential suitors. By dressing identically, it was believed that the bridesmaids could confuse any ill-intentioned individuals and ensure the bride’s safety. Over time, this tradition evolved into a way to symbolise the unity and support of the bridal party. By wearing the same dress, bridesmaids visually demonstrate their commitment to the bride and her special day. It also helps to create a sense of harmony and balance in the overall wedding aesthetic. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more individuality and personal expression in weddings. Many brides are now opting for a more modern approach, allowing their bridesmaids to wear different dresses that suit their individual styles and body types. This change reflects a desire to celebrate the unique personalities and preferences of each bridesmaid, while still maintaining a cohesive look.
