How to Deal With an Uninvited Plus-One

Creating a guest list takes time and patience – and in most of the cases, it takes a bit of strength too, especially if you realize you have to cut down the numbers to fit into your budget. And yet, no matter how much you plan, there’s always the likelihood that some of your guests will show up with uninvited plus-ones.
What to do? How to deal with an uninvited plus-one? We have gathered some tips to help you with this – so read on if you want to find out more.

• To avoid any kind of confusion, it is better to specify it very clearly on the RSVPs who the guests are. The easiest (and classiest) way to do this is by writing the guest’s name and adding a “tick” box next to it. This way, guests will understand that plus-ones aren’t invited.

• Keep in mind that it is customary to invite married plus-ones or plus-ones who are in a very steady relationship. Otherwise, these guests may choose not to come at all, rather than come on their own.

• If any of the guests asks you if they can bring a plus-one, be very honest and explain to them that your budget is rather limited and that it would be better for everyone if they didn’t bring anyone else at the wedding.

• Even with all the precautions, uninvited plus-ones can “happen” – so it’s best to be ready for this kind of situations too. Have some extra-seats and meals prepared, so that the extra-guests can feel good at your wedding too.
