How do you tell someone NO in a polite way when they say "Hey so John is not able to go to the wedding can Mark go in his place?" FYI I dont know who Mark is

    Ugh I hate that! My cousin just RSVP'd "Guest" with whoever this person-who-doesn't-exist-yet's meal choice. Am I supposed to write GUEST on their escort card!? Clearly I don't know this person since she doesn't know them yet either! Oy!

    @Katie - I think it's perfectly acceptable to write "Cousin and Cousin Guest" on the escort card if they weren't invited with someone specific!

    I agree with Toomanymistys if I counted for the plus one but she/he couldn't make it I wouldn't mind a switch especially if I paid for everyone already. I don't know half of FH family and friends who are attending anyways so it wouldn't make a difference.

    On another note I can't wait for day so I can kiss all this wedding planning stuff Good bye lol

    If people ask me i don't mind as long as it's not a married person bringing someone as a date (that would creepy)
