6 People You Don’t Have To Invite To Your Wedding

What’s a wedding party without the guests? One of the most important, yet hardest things, of planning a wedding is putting together the guest list.

Take A Step Back and Breathe

There are some people you’ll have to invite, others you’ll want to skip all together. However, with an ever-expanding guest list as your mother keeps suggesting you invite all her childhood friends, here are six people you don’t have to invite to your wedding without feeling guilty.

The Guilt-Free Non-Invitees

1. Your boss

She takes credit for all your hard work and we all know the ‘B’ doesn’t actually stand for Boss…Do your guests a favor and let them enjoy the wedding without getting ‘the eye’ from across the buffet bar. #you’rewelcome

2. The BFF’s new boyfriend

He’s the “love of her life” but she’s known him for two weeks and you’ve only met him at 3 am tearing up a pizza slice trying to keep his stuff together. Use an excuse and blame your “lack of budget” for skipping his invitation, you can always buy her an extra large bridesmaid gift.

3. Ken the family friend

Ken loves cars, the club and himself. In fact, you’re convinced Ken is actually Charlie Sheen in disguise. If you don’t want your photos ruined by his jeans and blazer fashion combo, or lose your Maid of Honor halfway through the night, don’t invite Ken.

3. The “well educated” cousin

He was driving a Mercedes by the time he was nineteen and thinks he’s going to be the next winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Is he really (no, really…) going to ‘get’ your rustic wedding theme? I’m not too sure…

5. Your divorced uncle and aunt

They split up in the ’90s but have never quite moved on. Give them a few martinis and they’ll be snagging in the corner and confessing their love for each other like Dawn and Pete in Gavin & Stacey. Ew.
