We tackle a difficult wedding planning question about excluding a best friend's boyfriend from the guest list and provide honest advice about setting boundaries for your special day. When navigating similar situations with family members, we offer practical strategies to minimize drama while keeping your celebration authentic.

• Your wedding day is about you and your partner – don't feel obligated to include people who bring negative energy
• Consider the seriousness and length of your friend's relationship when making plus-one decisions 
• Setting boundaries during wedding planning often reveals people's true colors
• For unwanted family members, use explanations about venue capacity or desire for intimacy
• Create clear criteria for invitations such as only including people you've seen in the past 2-3 years
• Maintain consistency with your decisions throughout the planning process
• It's better to address difficult guest list issues before the wedding than have drama on your special day
