Uninvited wedding guest

Jodi, on January 27, 2020 at 8:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
Hi, this is my first time asking for advice on a forum so I’m a little nervous lol.
I’ve recently found myself in a pickle. My wedding is in March and our invitations have been out for a few weeks now. One of my bridesmaids decided to take charge and start planning the bachelorette party without notifying or getting any input from my MOH which led my MOH to be disappointed cause she wanted to plan it.
Now, I love my MOH but she is a bit of procrastinator so I’m happy my other bridesmaid stepped in to help but I was so surprised she didn’t communicate at all with my MOH. To make things a little more complicated my bridesmaid started to invite guests without asking me which got me worried cause I didn’t want anyone to get invited who wasn’t invited to the wedding but when she told me who she invited I thought phew it’s all people who are invited to the wedding. That is until the following week...we were talking about the bachelorette party and she mentioned a friend was coming that I didn’t know about and that wasn’t invited to the wedding. I like this girl a lot but we haven’t really hung out much in 3 years and my fiancé and I are real limited to who we can invite because of the capacity of the venue where the wedding will be held. So what should I do? Should I explain to this friend what happened? Or should I just invite her to the wedding g and hope we do t have too many people? Please help.

    I wouldn’t base it on your bachelorette party. Tell the bridesmaid she shouldn’t have done that and it’s now putting you in an awkward position and have her take care of it. It isn’t on you at this point. She made the mistake

    You’re welcome ! You have enough to be dealing with which is why planning the bachelorette party is usually not on our to do list -

    Your main considerations should be whether you have the space and whether you're comfortable having that person there. If the answer isn't yes to both, I'd say don't extend the wedding invite. The person can still enjoy the bachelorette if there's nothing bad between you. It doesn't sound like there is.

    Since your BM jumped the gun without asking, she will need to be the one to tell her she is not invited to the wedding.

    I'd say don't invite her to the wedding. In my personal opinion, it is incredibly rude of your bridesmaid to invite people to your wedding. I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, but it's not something she should've done. If anything is said about it at the bachelorette party, I would just say you and your FH have met the capacity for your venue. I don't think it will be an issue though. I've been to bachelorette parties where there were guests there that weren't invited to the wedding. Most of the time they were the MOH's or person who was throwing the party's friends.

    For the most part, I agree with PP. This is not on you. However, most people invited to the bachelorette assume the bride helped put together the list. You might need to have your friend say something, or, if you have any declines and are comfortable inviting her, send her a wedding invitation. You can always explain the situation to her yourself, too!
