Uninvited Guests

Time out..you guys sent an invite to you FH's friend and gf and she replies saying she's coming but bringing another guy?? LOL! Not funny but it is..thats just ridiculous!!

So not on topic, but related...What is wrong with people? What is it about weddings that make people think it's just some free for all for any and everybody? From guests all the way to parents. No one focuses on the fact that it's about two people getting married, not a damn party.

It's even worse because it's his WIFE bringing another dude. Oh, but she's not bringing her kid. And she doesn't work so I'm assuming she's having her husband pay for her to go to Hawaii with another dude. Such a weird situation.

Lmaooo omg is she serious?! i had someone so far invite themselves to our wedding already

@MrsM.ToBe Thank you! Those are my sentiments exactly. It's supposed to be a celebration of our love and commitment to each other. As a stranger, why would you want to take part in that? Makes no sense to me.

@MrsM.ToBe thank you for saying that!! Every guest issue I have had I keep thinking the same thing, its not a free party its about 2 people committing themselves to each other.

We invited my dad's cousins, but not their children (ages ranging from 14 to 21, but I'm not close with his cousin's kids).

Cousin 1 promptly responded yes for her and her husband, and both came to the wedding.

Cousin 2 RSVP'd yes for him and his wife, and one of their children...then showed up alone to the wedding.

Cousin 3 RSVP'd yes for him, his wife, and their two adult daughters, then realized the mistake, called my mom, who said don't worry it's no big deal just bring them, then came to the wedding minus the daughters because they "felt uncomfortable" about bringing them!

Cousin 4 never RSVP'd until my dad called him, then he left me a voicemail that he would be there with a date, but then never showed to the wedding!

ETA: If DH got an invitation, but couldn't make it, and I only knew the couple through him, I wouldn't go! Just send a card!! That is so weird to me.

I don't think that I've been a raging bridezilla, but you know what? I totally get it! People have no clue the dumb things we have to deal with while planning.

I think I will netflix that show and everytime the bride acts crazy, I will just say you poor, poor girl. lol

This is an odd situation for sure especially since you know there is a history of cheating, but if I sent an invite to a married couple and one of them could not make it, but the other still wanted to come and bring a friend instead, I would not have a problem with it.

Why do people think that wedding invitations are something that you just pass along if you can't use them kind of like a movie ticket?

Seriously, we should have written "Non-transferable" on them!

That's so weird! Honesty, I would contact the husband and say, "hey so your wife who we don't really know, said she is coming and bringing someone besides you? Not really the direction we had planned on since our wedding is more of an intimate affair." Basically, tell dude to get his wife in check, hahaha. How well does Mark know him? Let him handle that convo. Trey and I would make better guests, just sayin'... hahaha. I could sweet talk Trey into a double honeymoon and go to HI... just kidding! He would probably stroke out if I suggested it, hahaha. I would do it just for his facial expression! :-)

That is so weird! Why do people think that's ok? I mean, when you address an invitation to John and Jane Smith, if John can't make it, Jane can't replace John with Sam! One of my friends recently put something on facebook saying her husband will be in training during our wedding, so she asked another friend (who I've maybe met once), if she'll be her date to our wedding...on facebook! And tagged me and FH! I'm not going to make a big deal out of it now, but I know her husband, and I like him, does she really get to call in for back up?

We actually didn't even include the wife's name on the invitation. I wasn't 100% sure she was living with him again even though we heard they had reconciled. I just put that there were 2 seats reserved for him on the response card.

@Lara People are crazy! Why would your friend put that on Facebook? SMH

Your FH definitely needs to talk to his friend. It is totally inappropriate for his wife to come with another man. Bizarre!

Ridiculous! Lol I can't bring my husband so I found another guy like wtf hahaha

So what are you planning on doing? I would definitely tell her she can't bring some random.

FH is going to call his friend tonight and find out what's going on. Hopefully he will let him know diplomatically that he is welcome to come to our wedding with his wife but if he's not coming, she's not really welcome. This whole situation makes me laugh.

Good luck Tracy with this one. Seems like she's using your wedding as an excuse for a trip with this bloke. It's not a free for all, it your wedding you chose to share with loved ones.

Bump. I want an update if FH called his friend last night.
