Here&#8217;s eight people you definitely don&#8217;t need to feel guilty about culling from your final numbers.<\/p>\n<h2>The Wedding Downer<\/h2>\n<p>He&#8217;s one of your oldest neighbours but has just recently entered a new chapter in his life&#8230; single-dom! And he just can&#8217;t keep his mouth shut when it comes to airing how MUCH he despises romance and how sick he is of attending ANY weddings. You may think you&#8217;re doing him a favour inviting him, but unless you want him to smother your guests with his cynical attitude, it&#8217;s better for the both of you if he gives this one a miss.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Mom&#8217;s BFF Who Likes All Your Posts<\/h2>\n<p>Although she&#8217;s your number one fan on Facebook and checks in on you through message from time to time, she&#8217;s not someone you&#8217;d regularly meet for weekly coffee and catch-ups. Therefore, she definitely doesn&#8217;t deserve a mandatory invite to your big day.<\/p>\n<h2>The Ex-Boyfriend<\/h2>\n<p>Remember the ex that broke your heart because he was young and immature? Then years later ye managed to patch\u00a0things up and now you&#8217;re considering inviting him to your big wedding celebrations. Here&#8217;s a simple tip for you: Don&#8217;t do it. Just don&#8217;t. Your future hubby will definitely thank you for choosing not to invite your former flame.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Bestie&#8217;s Current Beau<\/h2>\n<p>Although it seems like a good idea at the time, inviting your right-hand-woman&#8217;s current fling is definitely a no-no. Wedding photos are forever and imagine looking back years later wondering who that random stranger is cosying up your mate (awks!). However, if they&#8217;ve been together a good while and seem to be a long-term thing, then that&#8217;s a completely different story.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Hairdresser<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, she knows all about your monthly trials and tribulations, but that doesn&#8217;t warrant an invite. Stick to showing your album to her and the other ladies in the salon afterwards.<\/p>\n<h2>The Co-Worker Who Has A Crush On You<\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever had a really strong friendship with one of the lads in the office, only for him to reveal months later on a drunken night out that he&#8217;s actually in love with you (yikes!). If that doesn&#8217;t scream uncomfortable, him screaming O-B-J-E-C-T-I-O-N right before you exchange vows with your partner should definitely do the trick!<\/p>\n<h2>The Wedding Trasher<\/h2>\n<p>That one friend you adore and love dearly, but she\u00a0just can&#8217;t handle her drink. You say &#8216;open bar&#8217; and she hears &#8216;shots, shots, shots&#8217;. It&#8217;s tough enough to keep watch on your wedding party without worrying about your drunken friend harassing family on your special day.<\/p>\n<h2>Someone You Haven&#8217;t Seen in Years<\/h2>\n<p>Truth is, if you haven&#8217;t seen them in years, there&#8217;s probably a reason for that!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image Credit:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@tompumford\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Tom Pumford<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guest list drama?
