Should i invite my really dad to my wedding?
It's your day sweetie. Don't let tradition dictate whom you invite or not. Focus on the people who mean the most to you. My brother's walking me to my son and my son to my future husband. My daughter says when she gets married, she's having her future step-dad walk her down. She's not interested in inviting her "really" dad and neither is her older sister when she gets married. It's his loss! Always has been! It's a nice gesture on your part, but NOT a requirement. Hope this helps. Congrats %26amp; Good Luck.
Reply:I think he should at least have the chance to either say yes he will come or not he wont come.I mean after all you only get married once.So i would invite him to come and if he doesn't. come then its his lose that he decided not to come.To his only daughters wedding.
Reply:I would not invite your birth dad if you don't even know him. Your wedding is not a great place for one of those first introductions. It should be in a private setting where the two of you can get to know one another.
Reply:if your Dad has not been around and you have tryed to get in touch with him and try to know who he is but you know your Grandfather and that's his son why haven't you got ton in touch with him and told your Grandfather that you want to know your Father but it's all up to you it's your wedding day and no one I should tell the Bride and the Groom who to have at their wedding day God luck with what ever you do in your life
Reply:I would invite him, but I would let the man who took care of me give me away.
Reply:Yes, but only if you meet him beforehand otherwise it would be too emotional. Good luck.
Reply:I dont know my father either- I wasnt raised with him and I am going through the same pickle decision you are going through. Some say I should, some say I shouldnt. I think what I am going to do is send an invite and if he doesnt respond, then there is no love lost. I dont have any other parent to invite- as my mom passed 4 years ago. If i knew anyone else from that side of the family i would invite them.





HOWEVER- if you dont feel comfortable having him there- dont be bothered that you didnt invite him. Just because he helped give you life doesnt mean he has all access to it. If you make the effort to contact him about the wedding and he doesnt respond- then that is his choice and your conscious should be clear. You did what you could.





Good luck!
Reply:It's up to you. If you want him there, then invite him. If, however, you will be significantly hurt if/when he declines the invitation, then don't bother sending one to him.
Reply:if you tryed to reach out to him and he didn't want to connect to you then why bother sending him an invite to the wedding still invite his dad if you have a good relationship with him but i wouldn't ask biological dad to come you've been let down enough by him so far why go and mess up your special day good luck with the new hubby
Reply:I would say invite him... Just don't get upset if he doesn't come. Leave the decision up to him though.
Reply:I believe that you should because he's family, it's also a great time to try and get to know him better.... and if it doesn't work out then at least there's plenty of other people for you both to talk to
Reply:You should and if goes than cool if not well hey you atlest invited him. that way you wont feel bad if you didnt invite him and he wanted to go. So i would suggest you should.
Reply:Invite him and see what happens!
Reply:Totally up to you. I have known my real dad my whole life and I didn't invite him. I had my friends dad give me away. So it is totally a personal preference. If you want him there, invite him. You only get married once, so make sure it's the way you want it. Good Luck and Congratulations:)
Reply:yes u should
Reply:Sure! You have been attempting to connect with your real dad, but some how it has not been working but since you have your grandfathers information now, you should be able to see him. YOu have always done the right things so keep doing the good work, Who knows his presence could be the best gift you gave for yourself! Invite him and also send in a note that will make it personal.





Happy wedding!
Reply:Send him an invitation. Do not hang your hopes that he will answer or attend. He has made his position quite clear that he does not want to be included in your life. I am really sorry. This is the happiest day of your life and I would not obsess or romanticize that this is going to change anything or that a relationship will ever develop between the two of you. Good luck!
Reply:It all depends on you. When I got married last October, the only family I had there was my mom, two sisters and nephews. I haven't seen or spoken to my dad in years, and I have two brothers that I do not associate with.


Even though it hurt very much, I made it through the day fine. My dad left the scene when I was little, and I contacted him when I was 20. He showed no interest in me or my family. It hurts, and it always will.


However, like I said, it is up to you.


BTW, I had a very close friend walk me down the aisle.
Reply:Id say that he hasnt responded to you befor so why would you ontinue to ask.Leave him out of it.Live your life.
Reply:If you want to invite him, then do it. If you don't want to don't. Simple as that.





If I was in your shoes I don't think I would invite him though. Never having met him would probably mean that either:





1) He would show up and everything would be awkward.





or





2) He won't show up and you would have gotten your feelings hurt because you got your hopes up.





Odds are that you would just get your hopes up, and him not come though again.
Reply:W hy let him in on an important day He hasn't been there before now. Why bother. Youv'e had your grandfather be lucky you have that
Reply:if you want to meet him, invite him. DUH
Reply:Not really. My cousin isn't close to her dad and has not spoken to him for more than 8 years. She didn't invite him to the wedding due to the fact that she only want the people who she loves and cares for to attend her wedding and share her most happiest day with.
Reply:Well, has your real dad ever been part of your life? Obviously not, so if it were me, i wouldn't invite people i don' t know to my wedding, nor people who obviously don't care about me. i understand that you want to meet your real dad, which is a good thing, but are you sure you want that kind of drama on your wedding day? if it were me, i would not. Save that meeting for a different day, and why couldn't you meet him when you were 18 or 19?
Reply:I never met my dad either and I'm not inviting him to mine. i just dont want it to be more of a disappointment if he doesnt show. So just save the tears and dont invite him. Save your tears for your something special and not for him
