So I am trying to keep my wedding small, and I am having a problem with people inviting themselves. But recently a person took the cake and wanted to share the story with you ladies. I logged onto my facebook the otherday to find a wall post and heres what it said "Hey i need an offical invite 2 the wedding im kelsey date il message u my address!!" and i got an inbox with her address....Kelsey is a cousin of mine, and in the wedding. and knows we are not doing plus 1s unless the person has a significant other they have been with for a long time. she said she didnt invite her and is not really good freinds with this girl anymore anyways. Even beyond that if you were to be someones date, you would be their 1 not receive your own invite. Who tells a bride they need an invite to the wedding...SERIOUSLY! I dont even know how to respond to this girl, because my sarcastic inner B!*Ch wants to come out because its just rude! Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this before

    Oh hey, Jess, I was wondering when I'd get my invitation. Heck, you don't even need to send it, I'll just RSVP here.

    I would honestly just ignore her post, and possibly delete it.

    Wow, I've had people tell me to just tell them when my wedding is and where and they'll be there. No invite needed.....this seems to happen a little to almost everyone. I also have a lady who thinks she's making my cake, because FMIL told her we needed a baker and the two of them decided on their own that she was doing it. Nevermind talking to me or FH about it. She's so not doing my cake. I had someone ask me if their daughter could be a flower girl. They are kind of friends of the family, but not anyone I'm close enough to that I would invite them to my wedding let alone have them in my wedding party as sweet as their daughter is. I think some people think, "ooooh party!" and think of your wedding as some sort of public event. So annoying!

    @pan....im trying to limit my guest count to 60 or less...so alot of my family isnt getting invited....im sure as heck not inviting some person that is an aquantaince that isnt part of my everyday life. Its ashame that people do it, but kind of entertaining to. I just hope I never win the lottery because can you imagine how many people would want a part of that LOL

    Ya, I'd say that was a tad rude. I would just let your cousin know of what this person said to you on FB and let your cousin know (again) that there are not going to be any plus ones, then give your cousin the option of letting this person know that they are not invited. If your cousin doesn't want to let them know, I would just respond honestly saying that they are not a significant other of your cousin, and that only spouses/long time partners are the only plus ones to be invited...peroid. I would have been upset at this myself!!!

    Not exactly, but we are getting a lot of people from FH work that he barely knows that are 'insisting' on getting an invitations. I know that it would be easy (and in your right) to just go off of this intruder, but you can be gracious and polite if you want to. Just message her back and say "I apologize if there has been a misunderstanding between you and Kelsey, but we are not able to make exceptions to the guest list at this time. We do appreciate that you want to come to the wedding, and hope you have a blessed day."

    That's ridiculous. I mean, really???

    We had someone invite themselves to the wedding too. It's FH's daughter's grandfather - on her mother's side. Yup. FH's ex's father invited himself. I know he did it because he wants to see FH's daughter, but still. HI sexact words were, "I hope I'm invited, I mean, I would think you would at least send me an invite..."

    My eyebrows were up for that comment.

    Jennifer's response is definitely on point if you don't want to be rude about it.

    I think my FH and I are going to have more of an issue of the company we work for's upper management (the guys he works with) inviting themselves to the bachelor party.

    Ha Rachel, FH's ex is his boss's daughter, so he parents are invited (or it will be taken out on him at work, that's another story...) but the daughter actually had the nerve to ask if she was invited.... some people's kids...

    I know this may not be very good advice but if she's not a friend of yours nor a friend of your cousins. Then I would let her have it....forget her feelings this is your day and I can't wait til someone does this to me ( I know it's bound to happen as soon as we send out invites)

    Good Luck with this sweetie Smiley smile

    That is pretty extreme, I must say that I would have a few choice words for that person. Almost daily people who I don't care about enough to invite to my wedding say thing like "I cab't wait to come to you wedding," or "I'm invited right?" or "Let me know when your wedding is, I'll be there." If I want you to be there I will send you invite and if not you can't just invite yourself. I am only a year out of high school, and I did not enjoy the stuck-up preppy girls in my class. So, not trying to have a high school reunion! What do I say?
