Inviting people you don't like???

What do you do when you feel like you need to invite someone, but you don't like them?  I had 2 roommates, 1 which I had a falling out with.  I want to invite the other girl, but not both.  The problem is that they are cousins too, and I don't want to be rude.

Any ideas?

    Is this the kind of thing where you'd invite her to be polite knowing that she would probably decline, or do you think she'd come?  And if she did come, would she behave herself, or make a scene?

    I'd probably do the courtesy invite to keep the peace if I knew that she *probably* wouldn't come and if she did, woud be good.  But if you have any reason to think that she would be anything other than a model guest, I'd leave her out.

    Also, is she friends with any more of your friends that will be invited, or does she just know her cousin?

    I don't think she would expect an invitation.  If you were roommates a year ago maybe, but not if you haven't spoken in five years.

    I agree I don't believe she will expect an invite. I have an old high school friend who ran with the same group that I did but we never got along . . and I mean since like first grade we never liked each other. She will be the only person out of that group I won't be inviting. I don't think she expects an invite and I won't be sending her one because it's highly possible that she would come with the rest of the group. It's just not something I want to deal with on my wedding day.

    I wouldn't invite her just to be nice because she just might show up. I have a co-worker who is getting married in Sept, just got enaged like two weeks ago and told me the other day that she is inviting about 200 people for a venue that can only old about 150. She said the people won't come so I'm not worried. And I told her that was a terible idea and to re-think that guest list.
