We all have a past. Chances are, if you are preparing for your wedding day, you have gotten over that past and have moved forward. However, it\u2019s not always that easy; especially if the past reappears in the present in the form of an amicable relationship. So where does that leave your wedding guest list? <strong>Should you invite your ex to the wedding?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Usually, there are two schools of thought in regards to bringing past relationships into the wedding celebrations. There are those who are very traditional and completely against it and those who say the more the merrier. Of course what \u201cthey\u201d say isn\u2019t what matters. While etiquette experts suggest that exes shouldn\u2019t be present at the wedding, your fianc\u00e9, friends and family just might be okay with it. If your fianc\u00e9 agrees to extend the invitation after considering your current relationship with this ex and how it may affect his or her feelings during the wedding there are just a few more things to consider. For example, will inviting your ex impact guests\u2019 experience? Those who know about your past relationship may be less inclined to celebrate openly in front of your ex in an effort to be sensitive towards his or her feelings.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_11853\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11853\" style=\"width: 737px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11853  \" alt=\"wedding etiquette ex\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1.jpg\" width=\"737\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-800x561.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-500x351.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-672x471.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11853\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11853  \" alt=\"wedding etiquette ex\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1.jpg\" width=\"737\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-800x561.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-500x351.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/large_54937794-1-672x471.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hi-phi\/54937794\/\">[phil h]<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>Inviting an ex may also have a negative impact on children; especially if you were previously married. If you and your ex were once married, its important that your children see that you will always be connected to your ex in some way, but you are now part of a new family. Inviting the ex could blur those lines of connection in the eyes of children and ultimately confuse them. However, some experts argue that inviting an ex to the wedding can be good for children as well. They say inviting an ex sets a good example for children and allows them to see the importance of not burning bridges and maintaining amicable relationships. Ultimately, this may be something for you, your ex, and your fianc\u00e9 to discuss keeping your children\u2019s maturity in mind.<\/p>\n<p>If after deep thought you do decide to invite your ex, there are a few rules you should absolutely abide by. First and foremost, do not dance with your ex at the wedding under any circumstances. You also shouldn\u2019t spend too much time speaking to your ex when making your rounds to each table. Don\u2019t linger and limit the conversation to a few minutes. Introduce your ex to others as an \u201cold friend\u201d. There is no need to clue people in on your past relationship if they don\u2019t already know. Lastly, encourage your ex to bring a date to the event. You certainly don\u2019t want your ex or fianc\u00e9 to feel uncomfortable should him or her arrive solo.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you attended a wedding where exes were invited?<\/em><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/pre-wedding-parties\/rehearsal-dinner-etiquette-tips-and-advice\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/259481271_80_80.jpg\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/259481271_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/pre-wedding-parties\/rehearsal-dinner-etiquette-tips-and-advice\" target=\"_blank\">Rehearsal Dinner Etiquette: Tips And Advice<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-etiquette\/how-to-accommodate-out-of-town-wedding-guests\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/258466136_80_80.jpg\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/258466136_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-etiquette\/how-to-accommodate-out-of-town-wedding-guests\" target=\"_blank\">How to Accommodate Out-of-Town Wedding Guests<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-speeches-and-toasts\/wedding-speech-order-is-everybody-lined-up-ready-to-go\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/255960419_80_80.jpg\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/255960419_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-speeches-and-toasts\/wedding-speech-order-is-everybody-lined-up-ready-to-go\" target=\"_blank\">Wedding Speech Order.
