am I wrong for not inviting a family member to my wedding?
If you're asking, you've already weighed it more carefully than most people on the guest list. The wedding industry treats family invites as automatic; they're not. You're allowed to keep a person who hurts you out of one of the most photographed days of your life. The fallout is real. So is the alternative.
people also ask
- How do I tell family I'm not inviting someone?
- Short, calm, no negotiation. "X isn't coming. I'm not going to debate it." Then change the subject.
- Will I regret not inviting them?
- Some people do, most don't. The people who regret it usually wished they'd been clearer, not softer.
- What if other family won't come because of it?
- That's their choice. You're not responsible for managing other adults' loyalty tests.
