Extended invitations!

Kimberly, on January 27, 2020 at 10:49 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 15
Has anyone else had the problem of someone that they invited extending the invite to someone else? One of my SO's coworkers messaged him yesterday telling him that his girlfriend told two of her friends about the wedding and they are wanting to go. Then proceeded to ask if that is okay. He doesn't see the big deal! I think absolutely not! I just think it's beyond rude to do that, not to mention strange that we have no clue who these people are and they want to come to our wedding. Maybe I'm alone on this, I don't know.

    I didn't have that problem, but that's super weird. You should stand your ground on this one.

    That is exactly how I feel!! It makes me not even want his coworker there now! I don't understand why someone would even think that is okay. We are supposed to have people there celebrating our marriage and life together and I don't understand how that includes people we don't even know!

    We had something kind of similar. My husband's two cousins, John and Mark were supposed to attend with dates. John was recently single, but he was going to bring Mark's girlfriend's best friend as his date. A week before the wedding Mark messages me asking if his best friend can come now because John now has to work. Because we had already paid for John and Mark and their dates I didn't really care. So we ended up having Mark, Mark's girlfriend, John's date and Mark's best friend. If it wasn't a week before the wedding and we hadn't already paid we would have said no.

    That is so weird! I've never heard of that before. I hope it doesn't happen with any other guests!

    Absolutely not! Whoever these people are, I would make sure they understand that they are not invited to your wedding!

    I didn't have that problem nor have I ever heard that before. That is definitely not okay! If they want to hang out, they can do it on their own time, not during your wedding!

    One of the first things I found out after announcing our engagement is that there are all kinds of folks out there who think it's appropriate to invite themselves to weddings. I never knew that before! But it does happen. It's in very poor taste for these 2 people to invite themselves to your wedding, and in even poorer taste for the coworkers to even ask on their behalf.


    Explain that your wedding is an intimate and personal thing and that it costs a lot of money. You should be spending your money on loved ones and not strangers. Some people's children, I swear!

    I've seen this a lot too. It's like there are people out there who are looking for an opportunity for "free food and booze", without ever considering their actions rude.

    This is extremely rude, and FH needs to stand up to coworker and let him know that this is NOT OK!!

    That's crazy! I had something kind of similar but one of my guest who is attending the wedding asked since she doesn't have a plus one or SO can she bring a friend. I thought that was just so rude of her to even ask. I don't want random people at my wedding.
