Q: Unexpected Wedding Guests?
Last week I was able to catch up with Cory who’s having his wedding in August 2008. We touched based on traditions and the meaning of weddings. When I asked him what he found was the most difficult part, he said first it was having people to RSVP and second is he had some unexpected guests.
What happened was he had sent out invitations to guest’s list but some did not include (name + guest) on the invite. However, those people had RSVP themselves plus an extra guests. Cory said so far they have enough space to accommodate the extra people but when it fills up, it’d be a bit difficult and embarrassing to tell people that they can not bring an extra guest with them.
This is the first time I’ve heard about this and he told me that Eko, our highschool friend, had the same problem when he got married. Does anyone else experience something similar and how did you handle the situation?

Well, if you haven’t sent out your invitations yet, you can also put a “RSVP” card insert with instructions to put down any “guests” that will be attending. At least, you would get a head count in advance… 
My next concern would be: “What if you don’t get along with your best friend’s boyfriend and she insists on bringing him along?” Dah!! One can never win!
Hi Jackie,
Wow that is a tough question. In my situation I just don’t quite stand the guy when I talk to him so my solution is just to avoid him all together during my wedding. How would you cope with the situation?
I read this somewhere and thought it was a really good idea. The suggestion was to put on the RSVP card:
One/two seats have been reserved in your honour.
That way, it restricts your guests from inviting someone else!
