Final headcount

LOL wow 2 to 14?! crazy! I would call and just state that "unfortunately due to budget and space constraints, we are only able to accommodate 2 people".

Who are the people they added? Is it SOs? If it is SOs, they should be included as well (but that would only bring the count to 4).

9 of 14? Hell no. I would be beyond pissed. You have in bold that 2 people are invited.

I would call them and reiterate that 14 people were NOT invited, you are unable to add the 9 people they are requesting, and you are only able to accommodate for the 2 people you have reserved for them.

Do you even know the 9 people they are trying to add...?

Wtf call and explain to them that the invitation was only intended for the people it was addressed to. Who adds 12 people to their invitations? I can't believe people do this. I am flabbergasted.

Nope. You call these people and tell them that all their "extras" aren't invited.

Who has 14 people in one household? My lord!

I sent my aunt on my dad side an invitation but the others she added are family members that I don't have much communication with.

What in the actual fuck???? Call her up immediately and tell her HELL NO.

...in nicer words maybe

That is so rude. My sister had this happen. They invited 100 people, and even with several declines, received yes rsvps for 115. My sister's husband refused to call the people (on his side) so they ended up paying for the extra people and having to open an extra room in the venue to seat everyone for the reception. It got worse. One uninvited child's rude parent gave her kid keys to play with during the ceremony, and the kid kept throwing the keys on the ground. I thought my dad was going to have a stroke every time the kid jangled the keys. Definitely call your people and tell them you are sorry, but you can only accommodate the two people who were on the invite. Weddings are NOT family reunions.

I had a similar issue. One of FH's uncle invited his next door neighbors and kids to our all adult wedding. We DON'T even know the people. I happily give the RSVP to my FH and told him to handle it. lol Needless to say, Uncle and guest will be attending!

How does that happen? WHO ARE THEY BRINGING? Sorry! I would just contact them and let them know only two seats are available.

Ew I would definitely say NO. That is so rude! I had one person write in if they could bring their 4 year old , but other than that no body tried me by changing the number lol. 9 out of 14 is ridiculous. Family or not. Sorry, If you didn't invite them in the first place, they can't just invite themselves.

I'm a little confused about why you gave final numbers before following up on all of the RSVP's but that doesn't change the fact that your guests are out of line. Be very firm and call everyone who RSVP'ed for people who were not invited. Explain that you can not accommodate the guests that they invited.

Lol

Call the rude people and tell them that you can't accommodate their guests. Don't give reasons, just no. If you give reasons, guaranteed they'll start "fixing" the problem for you.

ANY chance it's a joke? My brother RSVP'd with six people and I knew he was coming alone.

I would shit a brick! Holy cow I would be so pissed and definitely call to let them know that their "extras" are NOT invited!

Oh hell no!

I completely agree with Jack!! Do not explain yourself when you tell people that you can't accommodate extra guests. That will lead people to believe that it can be resolved and they will be allowed to flood your reception with people you did not invite. If they ask why, just reaffirm that you can't: "I'm sorry but we simply can't add these guests in. Everything is finalized. I hope you understand."

I would also warn your DOC about this if you have one. They might have advice on how to handle it. If they do arrive in spite of you saying they couldn't come, I would ask them all to leave.

Wow.. just wow

It's rude to invite uninvited people since the invitation clearly states 2 ADULT seats. I know they can read. I would kindly reach out and advise them that the venue can't accommodate the extra uninvited people. Wow smh 14. That's beyond rude. Sounds like they are trying to feed the family for free that day LOL. Hope it all works out, blessings
