[quote=Anonymous]If you take the money, you have to invite her. But as another PP said, perhaps a sibling or friend can run interference so you don't have to spend any time with her at all. And you can mention to the photographer that you want to limit photos that include her to the whole family (ie not mother-daughter) and to make them quick.

Alternatively, you can tell your dad that you really appreciate the offer but you've decided you cannot accept the money to pay for the wedding. If he still wants to give it as a gift post-wedding, you could accept that, but you and fiance are adults and want to pay for the wedding yourselves and not feel beholden or obligated to invite any particular person, including your own mother.

And finally -- if your parents are still married and you invite dad and not mom, as another PP said, that will be the complete end of the relationship. Which is fine if that is what you want. But be certain before you do it because there's really no going back.[/quote]
