10 people not to invite to your wedding
Compiling the guest list is hard - maybe even the hardest part of all of the wedding planning.
Everyone has an opinion and every other friend has a ‘plus one’, not to mention sprawling friendship groups and extended, blended families. To lend a helping hand, here is a rough guide of ‘don'ts’ to be followed at your discretion.
1. The 'Plus One'
The classic question of ‘Will they won't they be together by the time the wedding comes around?’ I say forget it. Dumped. Decision made.
2. The Pervy Uncle
The prolific bum slapping friend of your dads who is absolutely no relative. No thank you.
3. The Drunk Girl
We all know the girl who says she is 'soooo happy for you' through gritted teeth. It will not end well. Drunk and crying will be the least of it.
4. The Ex
Enough said.
5. The Happy Snapper
Whilst we love love love all the social media post wedding, this friend manages to find the only ugly pic of you on any given night out. Be warned.
6. The Clinger On
The person on the fringe of the friendship group, whom no-one really knows that well and yet they are always there. Do you even have their phone number...?
7. The Hairdresser/Personal Trainer
Yes yes... they know so much about you, and they have been so helpful in listening to your wedding stresses, but think ahead to the seating plan...
8. The Colleagues
Tricky one, they are often very supportive throughout the wedding planning, giving advice and turning a blind eye to the hours/days/weeks spent on Pinterest and Bridebook. The litmus test is: will you still be friends if you quit tomorrow?
9. The Super Model
Unless of course she is a best friend/sister/other unavoidable close relative who will be your competition on your big day.
10. The third-cousin-in-law-once-removed
Just say no!
