I invited one ex to my wedding... and wouldn't have minded if Mrs. Bee invited an ex.
The key criteria (to me) for a successful ex invite:
How about you - any ex's crashing your party?

What is interesting is that one ex of mine will be coming to the wedding, but he is family (not in an incest way).. he is my sister's husband's step-brother. I consider him family more than an ex now. I tend to forget that we even dated! haha
Other than that, no ex's will be in attendance. Although, one has threatened to crash the wedding... ugh. I dislike immature people. :)

I went to Mr. Ex's wedding a few years ago (FI was invited but had other obligations), so I think it's only fair that he and his wife get an invite to our wedding. They may have to miss it due to timing and the bad economy, though. FI is fine with it, but doesn't have any exes he wants to invite.
I definitely agree with your criteria, too!
We are inviting one of Fiance's exes, but she is a friend of the family and her parents are also invited. I have met her a bunch of times now and we get along well. I am not sure how I would feel about any other exes of his though, and I personally am not friends with any exes so that isn't an issue.
Yes, but I hardly think of him as an ex. We dated for a bit over a month. We were both in bad places to be in a relationship, but we hit it off as friends and were pretty close (we've introduced each other as "honorary" brother/sister before). We even lived together in grad school for a bit (while I was dating my FH). We're less close than before b/c he had a jealous GF for a couple of years and we drifted during that time. But it's funny b/c now he's getting married 6 weeks before me! When I firtst met his FW they was not very serious, but after five minutes I knew she was perfect for him. He was skeptical when I told him, but I like to believe anyway that my influence is what made him invest more in it. It's so exciting for me that he's so happy, and that we'll both be able to share this experience close in time.

that would be a NO. i'd really like to avoid my dad getting thrown in jail on my wedding day! 
Too funny Mr. Bee! I had an ex at the wedding, but it wasn't an ex-boyfriend ifyaknowwhatimean. He's actually one of my best friends, and the hubs wasn't sure about it at first, but after thinking about it more he gave me the ok. The hubs only had one ex and I have to say I would have been annoyed if she were invited and he said he would feel the same if I had invited one of my actual ex-boyfriends.
One of the Mr's exes will be there, but all three of Mr. Bee's criteria were met before she was invited. However, we're renting a condo where one of my BMs, his mom & sister will be staying with us (it's a 3 bedroom), and the suggestion was made (because it would cut down on everyone's part of the rent) that she could stay there as well... yeah, I put my foot down on that one! Not because I thought anything shady would go on, she just annoys me.
Yes, one of my exes will come to the wedding, because he is part of my long-time core group of friends, and I can't imagine getting married without all of those friends there. We are still friends (but absolutely nothing more than that). He has a really nice gf with whom I get along very well, and I am not a slightest bit attracted to him anymore.
My fiance and I have been together for just over 7 years; we started dating in high school and there aren't many serious exes to consider. Oh, but I just remembered that one of his groomsman was my "boyfriend" in sixth grade...maybe we should talk about this....HAHAHA! Luckily (I guess) for us, this should never really be an issue we have to face...at the wedding or after!
No, none of our exs will be invited to the wedding. We both have a pretty short list, and most ended on bad terms. If we were still close to one of them, I don't see why not. It just didn't happen that way for us.
If my ex showed up to my wedding, I would probably call the police. I had to change my phone number because he was stalking me.
Ha ha ha oh what fun that would be! Just kidding. He married the girl he cheated on me with, and then had the nerve to offer to DJ our wedding as our gift. While it would save us tons of money, I don't want him in the same county as me on my wedding day. Knowing him though, he and his wife will show their faces anyway. Luckily I know many big men who will be at my wedding and I'm sure they would be happy to show them the door!
I'm not inviting my ex, BUT his brother and my MOH are getting married at his parents house this summer. My best friend (MOH) wants me there, and I of course want to be there for her on such an important day! I haven't seen my ex for 2 years now, I used to live at his parents house with him, and I know the breakup was hardest for him. And my wedding is a month after my MOH's (which is no issue for us!). It will be a little interesting. I'm looking forward to it, though. My MOH's a very important person in my life, as were her fiancé's family.
Once someone becomes an "ex", i like to pretend they never existed. So, definitely not!
Mr. Sushi and I are both on good terms with our exes and we've both met each other's exs. If we would have invited them to our wedding, I don't think it would've been a problem.
Yep & neither of us care! 
They're an ex for a reason...but it doesn't necessarily have to be a BAD reason. oh, & it isn't Mr. Q's ex-wife. Not THAT I may have a problem with. Heehee.
No, we're not inviting any ex's. I don't think it's even an issue or something that would come up for us. I had one ex that I have been pretty good friends with, but we've fallen out of touch over the time DF and I have been together -- probably because of my improved SO relationship -- so we don't really even have any contenders.

Me and my ex get along great and I would invite him because he is the reason I got with my hubby-to-be. However, my FI would spaz out. He hates the idea that I am even friends with him just because of how badly he treated me during our relationship, so I'm not sending the invite. I will be inviting his sister though because we are close
I am friends with all my X's (a big whoppin' two of them)... but they are not invited. Just v/c i'm not THAT close with them. His X from all through out his high school years is coming... but surprisngly we are friends and she is seriously dating one of his Best friends... i just think, weirder things have happened. LOL ! :)
I'm very good friends with one (a high school one, so water is long under the bridge). I hope that he and his wife will be able to make it out. I missed theirs due to a medical emergency. 
I don't talk to my ex BF, nor do I want to, so he's not on the invite list. I would probably crap my pants if I saw him at my wedding.
I am inviting only one ex and FI isn't inviting any. Mine is a guy I was friends with long before and long after we dated, so like many others here I think of him as a friend rather than an ex. He's also in a relationship that is much more serious than ours was and of course she is invited too. Some of my other exes would definitely ruin the day if they showed up though!
Wow! I'm the only one who said yes and it's causing drama (so far at least!) ... This is an ex-girlfriend of my fiance's that like oralie said -- nothing shady has gone on but she just bugs me!
The first few times I met her she was always randomly saying things like "Remember that time when we did this?" or "Remeber spring break senior year" that were totally out of context to what conversations were going on. It seemed to me just trying to point out that she knew things about him that I didn't. Basically she is just a part of the "big group" of friends and he thinks it would be weird to not invite just her (even though two of their other friends have already not invited her to their weddings.) She is one of those girls that "just doesn't have any girlfriends" or "girls have a hard time liking her" ... anyway, it's not bad drama really, we've just talked about it a few times. My fiance has definitely said that if it really bothers me that we dont have to invite her, but at this point I just feel like it would let her "win" -- ha, I feel like such a drama queen right now! I promise I'm not!!
PS - I'm way cuter! haha
Man I stopped the bus on this one huh? I'm bumping this thread so we don't end it on my momentary bitterness!
No more ex's coming to weddings?!
Not only did the parents of my fiance's ex call and offer us their timeshare for our honeymoon (weird), but my fiance's parents have added his ex (and her new finace)to our guest list. I have met her on several occasions and she is not a very nice gal... anyway can I cut her from the list without causing too much drama? We are already 50+ over-capacity and will need to make cuts...better her than one of my friends...right?
I am inviting an ex just because he is still one of my best friends from college and we value eachothers friendship. Although the wedding is in Boston, MA and he is in the Air Force out in Cali so we don't know if he will make it.

Neither one of us will be inviting an ex, though I know one of mine would love to come...that's just not going to happen!
No way. Neither of us are in contact with any of our exes-- not that it was horrible or anything, but you just move on because the relationship ended for a good reason. Besides, my most recent ex was 4 years before I met FI and I wouldn't want to waste my time tracking him down.

I like your criteria Mr. Bee. Neither of us have exes that are close friends. And I met Mr. Peng shortly after coming out of the womb, so I really don't have any exes that I would count as "real" exes. I'm friends with my high school ex, but I can hardly count that as a relationship.
I only have one ex coming, even though I"m still friends with another. I don't think of either of them in that way anymore. Really, I feel the same as Mrs. Penguin- the ex that is coming was from high school... and he's come out since then anyway. :)
UMMM as far as i know there are no ex's coming to the wedding.....AMEN...not sure how that would work bc of the difference in ages he has a longer list them me (LOL) but I have meet his ex- wife and if she could make it I WOULDN't have a problem...Their marriage ended on good terms and we have had good convo's since we have meet and been dating..I can honestly say since they are slightly older and more mature she has helped me (at least in understanding somethings about him, them, and the kids that i will always be grateful for)
I'll be inviting one of mine, he's one of my best friends and is part of a larger group of friends. I'd be sad if he turned down the invitation because he felt awkward, but I'd understand.
My x in laws will probably come b/c I'm still close to them and we have a good relationship and they totally understand the dynamics. But my x? Heck no. My family might pummel him if they see him..they've not spoken to him for over five years, but that is the result of what happens when he did their girl (me) and their grandson (my son) wrong. All I have to say is I was divorced on Jan 3, and he was remarried Jan. 4.

My FI invited his girlfriend from High School/beginning of college..so let's see ..they offically broke up when he was around 20 years old, I think they had a brief (weekend) fling 6 years later...which was right before we met 7 years ago but I'm not really too interested..lol..as I give you every detail! HAHA!
We're inviting one of my ex's, but mostly because he's a good friend of mine and Mr. Burgundy's. If he wasn't a friend of Mr. B then forget it.
