1. The relationship with the ex isn’t fresh: If you have been in your current relationship longer than you were broken up and were able to be in a friendship with your ex, then having them at your wedding shouldn’t be an issue. The past is in the past and both of you are currently happy with the life you live, so it should be easy to include them on the guest list.

2. The ex is a part of the couple’s life: The ex shouldn’t be invited to the wedding if they are just a random person brought up from the past. If the couple spends time with this person and thinks of them as a friend rather than an ex, then they can choose if they want that person there or not.

3. The ex is the other parent to your child: This is more of a courtesy to the child rather than to either of the parents. It shows that even though the parents are not together, there is no hostility between them, which gives the child an easier time of understanding the new relationship.
