One of the most difficult aspects of wedding planning is making or reducing the guest list. It involves more than just establishing a list of the people you want to celebrate with.

Depending on the capacity of your venue, you may have to invite certain individuals, skip some you really want to invite, and leave out others entirely. It takes a lot of work to decide who to ask and how many people to invite, especially when you start to take into account all the politics that go into those selections.

In summary, it's easier said than done to decide who to invite to your wedding. Additionally, there is some technique at play here as it's not as easy as merely putting down a list of names.

Making groupings of relatives and friends from both sides, starting with those who are closest to you and your spouse, then working your way to those who are further away, is one of the finest ways to begin your wedding guest list. For the Redditor in today's story, her wedding venue only allows for 25 guests, and they each get to invite 12 people.

The thing is that the OP doesn't want to invite one of her elder sister's husbands, as she has many memories of him making her cry during her childhood. She does not know how her sister will take the news; hence, she turned to Reddit. 

The Title

The majority of the OP's family lives in North America including her two sisters

The OP's partner also struggles as he constantly gets called her ex’s name despite them breaking up 4 years ago

We've gathered some of the most upvoted comments from Redditors for you to read through below.

If he's rude, he does not need to be invited

Married couples are a package deal

You can't undo the message you'd be sending

The wedding location doesn't have room for many people

Getting A dog sitter for the husband

That for this Redditor would have been the end of the relationship with him whatsoever

You said she never protected you so...

You can speak to your sister privately about this situation

You know none of them are likely attending right?

You are literally choosing to bring an animal over your sister

You are choosing your dog over your human guests

This isn't something he wanted

There is very limited space and there are two options

You need to decide if you really want your sister there

He's repeatedly been disrespectful and unpleasant to you and your fiance

Is it worth losing your sister?

It's your wedding and you can invite who you want

You can invite or exclude whoever you want

The OP added an update later on so redditors can get a hint about her decision

The OP has decided to respect whatever choice her sister decides

Undoubtedly, one of the first and possibly most difficult steps in arranging your big day is deciding who to invite, but it's also crucial. The OP has made her decision and it's left her to her sister to either attend the wedding or not.
