Coming up with a guest list for your wedding is one of the trickiest parts of organising your big day.
Do you invite your 30 cousins you rarely ever see? Should you ask your colleagues to the afters? How many people can you actually afford to invite and will your mam be bothered if you don't invite your neighbours?
It's a complex process but there are some people who rarely ever make the guest list, and they're usually our former partners.
Nobody really wants their ex-partner at their wedding, but Her readers recently spoke out about the controversial decision and some didn't think it was so bad.
One explained that there's no harm in inviting an ex to your wedding if you're on good terms and you consider them a friend.
They explained: "Yes because if you have a good relationship then why not? You can still be friends."
However, others were pretty reluctant about inviting their exes to the special occasion.
Many agreed that they would taint the big day and also make your other half feel pretty uncomfortable.
One explained: "I don't think it's okay to invite an ex to a wedding. I'm not friends with my ex so why would I want him at my wedding? It doesn't make sense to me."
Another said it would be more acceptable if it was someone you weren't seriously involved with.
"If it's like a long-term relationship that you were really serious about then maybe not. Talk to your husband or wife about it and ask if this would be chill. Communication is key."
What do you think? Would you invite an ex to your wedding?
