I am getting married next year and i am debating if i should invite one of my uncles, i dont really care for him at all and has been rude to my fiance , but i am going to be inviting the other 2 uncles (my dads brothers) and i'm sure i'll see him at family functions in the future?

Be the bigger person and invite him. You can also ask some male relatives and/or friends to act as bouncers if your uncle becomes unbearable.
Good luck!

Be a better person than he is and invite him, since he's family and you're inviting your other uncles. Not inviting him would be somewhat rude and tacky. Appoint someone the day of the wedding to ask him to leave if he becomes rude or disorderly. And....
he may not even come. Just because I get a wedding invite doesn't mean I go, unless it's immediate family. I wasn't able to make it to my niece's wedding, I just sent a nice gift.

It's your day, you get to invite who you want to. I'm inviting my cousin, but not his father (my dad's brother) because he is rude to ME and has called me names when he was drunk. So, logically, I don't want him at my wedding, drunk, calling me a slut. And you make your decision. If you think that there could be conflict, don't "bite the bullet, be the bigger person" or any of that. It's your day. You don't have to be the bigger person when it comes to stuff like that. However, if you don't think that your uncle will say anything to your new husband, go ahead and invite him. Basically, if two chemicals will react badly togther, don't put them together. But if all they do it separate like oil and water, go ahead and put them in the same test tube.

Invite him. That way he can say he did receive an invitation from you. If doesn't like your fiance, he probably want show up. But be the bigger person and send him an invitation.

Bite the bullet, you better invite him. They way I am looking at situations like that is, the wedding is only one day, but family is around forever. Inviting the guest is better then having to deal with it for years to come

Yes, you should invite all your relatives whether you like them or not. You invite them out of respect and trust that everyone can behave themselves for one day. Even if someone does say somthing out of line, you can be contant with the fact that at least you were a polite bride and extended all appropriate invitations.
Be the bigger person. Don't be petty.

If I have to invite my drunken Grandma that I haven't spoken to in 3 years (4 by wedding time!) you should most definitely invite your uncle. Come on, girl we're in it together!

Send the invitation the day of the wedding so he can't say he didn't get invited.

Invite him because he's family and you don't want future conflicts, but seat him by the exit so if he gets unruly he'll be gone quicker. More than likely you'll only see him once or twice during your wedding so don't let it ruin your big day.

You always invite family.
