NOT inviting my parents to my wedding?

Question

Me and my dad don't get along, at all. I was a horrible child/teenager (as I'm sure we all were) and I have done a lot of things I regret but he can't seem to get over the past, and literally wants nothing to do with me. I'm the youngest of 5 girls, I have a different mom to my older sisters, but I grew up living with my dad and my stepmom. I'd like to have a relationship with him, but he's not for it and he acts like I'm not even his daughter, so a couple of years ago I decided to leave him be. 
Me and my fiancé were making our wedding invites and he noticed my dad wasn't on the list. Now, obviously I would love for my father to walk me down the aisle, but if I sent him an invite I doubt he'd even come. I don't know what would hurt who more: Me inviting him to the wedding and him not showing up, or me not inviting him. 
I've tried talking to him in previous years, and I know exactly why he's holding a grudge with me but I refuse to apologise for something I shouldn't have to because I suffered years of abuse from him and his wife but at the end of the day I'll always love him because he is my dad.

Answer

I think you should extend the invitation, and if he doesn't come then at least you opened that door and you won't have any regrets.

Answer

I agree i think u should invite him so he has the choice. So at the end of the day if he doesnt show it wont come back on u like u didnt invite him.

Answer

My dad was abusive to me and I can honestly say that he'll have no part of my life, ever. That said, it is entirely your decision.  Either way it'll probably end up hurting someone.  I personally will not be inviting my dad to my wedding and I'm not gonna tell you that that is what you should do as well, but at least not inviting my dad doesn't hurt me any more than I've already been.

Answer

If you really want your dad there then send an invite at least you've reached out to him and shown that even though his treated you wrong that you're a still willing to try then it's up to him after that, if he doesn't come then his loss you shouldn't let him ruin your big day! I'm sure plenty of other people who love you and your future husband with all their hearts and that's what counts

Answer

My mother and I don't have a great relationship at all. I don't want to even invite my mother. She didn't show up to my sisters baby shower, my daughter's birthday party, left my sister while she was delivering her baby. All for a dog that she has that's diabetic....she cares more for that dog than she did us. I doubt she'd even come so I don't know if I should invite her or not.

Answer

I am in a similar situation. I'm not inviting my father to my wedding. I'm just going to save myself the trouble.
