What is the rudest response you've received from guests?

View Quoted Comment I would’ve been so pissed about the cake dress comment! I would’ve wanted to shove it in her face and say then you effineat it !

Man, I’m kinda grateful that mine haven’t been THAT bad. But I can think of a couple..

1. When I got engaged FMIL told FSIL and her response was “congrats, but you can’t have it on May ___ that’s when I’m getting married” mind you she eloped so it wouldn’t be a wedding or when she “got married”. Luckily we weren’t looking at May but it caught us off guard.
2. Once we sent out invites, my grandma’s sister called my grandma to let her know that her husband couldn’t come- so she’s going with her daughter and her grand daughter “because they really want to see Katie get married” although I don’t know them.
3. An old friend from where I went to college at called me the day I got engaged, we talked for a bit and then he asked “is the wedding going to be over there or here” I said where I live now, and he proceeded to say “well I always wanted to visit... guess I’ll be there!” I awkwardly said, “well let me see numbers wise where we are at” and he said fine and hung up on me.... he then deleted me off of Facebook so I guess he isn’t coming 😂😂

4. My mom went to a local bar and saw a woman that treated her like crap. the girl ran up to her and before she said anything else she started crying and said “I can’t believe you aren’t inviting me to Katie’s wedding, I am her aunt” my mom got put on the spot and told her that her invite got lost 🤦🏼‍♀️ Another “friend” of my mom’s did the same thing- and then ignored me the whole time we were together because I didn’t invite her. I don’t like either of these women but they feel “entitled” to come to my wedding 🙄 the latter of the women actually had the guts to tell my mom “if that was my daughter none of HER friends would be invited- it’s YOUR party because it’s YOUR daughter.” and although my mom is paying for a lot of this wedding she doesn’t see it as “her party” thankfully.

i think thats it as far as I know... 😂

So my gram is scared to fly by herself as there are many connecting flights. My parents have transported her to every family function/wedding, paid her way for those trips, and my parents live half way across the country. Her son literally lives on the same street and refuses to bring her to my wedding. Ok fine.

Her daughter: she’s an entirely different story which would take months to rant about. She has a 17 year old and 10 year old. First, she keeps pushing for her 10 y/o to be flower girl, even though we’ve stayed we are not having one. Second, we announced only children of the wedding party will be allowed at the reception, because FH sisters are 17, and that eliminates 30 children!!! SO she’s decided that she’s leaving oldest daughter at home to study, husband will have to work, and she’s bringing youngest daughter. My cousins are bringing their kids but hiring a babysitter for the festivities, but she refuses to let her daughter “be exposed to that hatred.” So my parents are paying to fly her and her daughter, and gram, and then paying for their accommodations, but she and her daughter will not be attending the wedding. My family keeps trying to push the child into the wedding but it ain’t happening.

I'm going to follow this! We won't be sending out invites for awhile, but we are having an adults only wedding with the exception of our bridal party kids as their parents are in the wedding party too. There's a few my FMIL has told us will be upset, but we're standing firm and she and my FH's step-dad are going to back us up if the family complains to them. We're hoping word of mouth way in advance will help people not be shocked their kids aren't invited. But I'm prepared for them to be upset too!

So i have a cousin who was a little upset that she wasnt asked to be in the wedding, and i told her with what all she has going on in her life, i didnt want to put that responsibility on her. She made me think she understood... clearly not.. a couple of weeks ago i told her i needed to know if she was coming, and she kept giving me the "idk yet" and so i told her you need to pick yes or no and she came up with "I may be starting classes that week, i cant commit" please mind you my wedding is on a saturday........... she obviously isnt over it lol!

View Quoted Comment Your comment reminded of when my FH and I started dating. I was going to my friends daughters wedding, and had rsvp'd weeks earlier, then less than 2 weeks before the wedding my friend told me to bring my boyfriend to the wedding, I said I felt awkward inviting someobe to the wedding So close to the event. My FH did come with ne to this wedding, which also happened to be our 3rd date!

Mine is from a wanna be guest lol. We sent out our invites super early instead of sending STD(we had no idea this wasn't the right thing lol). My ex's sister cornered my mom the other day and told her she better be getting an invite.

Scuse you? You are my EX's sister. You sure are heck are not coming.

OH and my "bff"(it's questionable right now) demanded to be in the wedding party...then demanded to be MOH...then demanded to be supplied with jack and coke all night. We are having beer and wine only and I am trying to convince him to go with no wedding party just to avoid the awkwardness of not letting her be part of it. At this point I'm even hoping she changes her mind about coming after how rude she was to me and him during a couples camping trip a few weekends ago.

1. We had at least two people call me the week of my wedding " I cannot wait for the wedding I am so excited!" .... doesn't show up.

2. 7 coworkers all cancelled their already placed yes rsvp 4 days 4 DAYS!!! before our wedding then tried to butter me up the next day purchasing gifts. Don't try to make up for being a giant asshole. So glad I

3. My personal favorite, MIL insisted we invited her cousin and her husband... we excluded their 18 year old son because he was an adult and away at college. I get the RSVP back and she had the nerve to cross out 2 attending and write 3 for her son. I called MIL and she told them they could bring him without consulting us first. THEN! one month before the wedding they called to tell us they would longer be attending because they had purchased tickets to the OSU football game.

I'm not so far in my planning yet, but my two favorites are "I'd BETTER be invited!" (various versions of that, but that is the most offensive one) and also "I'd never waste money on a wedding."

Alright guys! I’m BAM! Our wedding was GORGEOUS, exactly as we had always envisioned and dreamed it would be. We did have a few people who didn’t show up, but only 1 struck me as truly rude. My uncle on my moms side RSVP’d for him and his wife months before the wedding and chose their meals. They’ve attended EVERY one of my cousins weddings so we figured this would be no different. They were traveling from Texas, so it’s not like this would be a day-of mishap thing. Not only did they not come and not have the audacity to let us know plans changed, my uncles wife posted on my other aunt’s FB that she was “thinking of her, just because” on the morning of our wedding, then posted on her own Facebook how excited she was to attend some race for her son in Nebraska that weekend and was getting ready to fly out. It’s like, at least just let us know!!!! Other than that, the other 4 people who didn’t show we kind of expected and just swallowed the cost of their headcount however annoying.

View Quoted Comment Ooo these would made my skin crawl too! In the grand scheme of things we had a place, but I still don’t get the nerve of some people!!!!

We've had people complain that they didn't get plus ones. Mind you - these are single people, who know EVERYONE at the wedding, and aren't dating anyone! Sorry, not sorry, I didn't give you an open door to bring someone from Tinder. ¯\_(?)_/¯

Those are both "wow" stories! Definitely funny to read but must be so uncomfortable to deal with!

PS What do you plan on doing about the non-committal friend?? Are you going to draw the line by a certain date and let her know?

Lol, I kind of love this "if someone gives me those vague, maybe answers I'm just gonna tell them I've made the decision for them, I am sending my STDs and invitations out early for a reason"

I have people saying "Well, we would LIKE to come." Okay... So are you? Or are you not? You are coming from Ireland. Do you have a plane ticket or no?

I also have a sorority sister coming in from Paris on the 12th and saying she won't know until she sees how she feels. No, the wedding is the 14th. It is either yes or no.

View Quoted Comment Hey! 🤷🏽‍♀️ My STDs are going out almost 9 months before and invites will be 3 months prior, and due a month before. If you don't know by then, then it has to be no. This will be the most formal wedding my side has gone to in a while, and everyone is coming from out of town so they will have to plan ahead

Yea, i'll prob get a few of these smh

So far only a few minor things, fortunately. One guy told me he was bringing a +1 without asking if it was ok, then tells me she's a gluten free vegan. A bit of a faux pas but I didn't say anything. I am grateful that he is making the trip, unlike certain other people in our circle of friends where I used to live.

The other frustrating thing has been people who told me beforehand that having a Sunday night wedding would not be a problem for them and they'd take the next day off work, but then decided not to come because it was inconvenient or told me they have to leave halfway through. I get that Sunday is not as convenient as Saturday but that's why I asked beforehand. If I wanted to have a Saturday wedding I'd have had to do it in the dead of winter when the sun goes down early, and I'm sure some people would have complained about that too. You can't please everyone.
