We have a guest who is a friend of my FI who is genuinely single and knows over 15 other guests at the wedding (including some of her very best friends!)
We invited her and she replied on the RSVP for herself and "+ guest" even though we made out the invitation only to her. She is the only one who has done this so far of the 40 or so RSVPs that we have received.
I called her to let her know that we were terribly sorry for any confusion, that the invitation was intended only for her, and that we were unfortunately unable to accommodate a guest she RSVPed for. She said she understood.
She got back to me again later today and questioned the seating chart, asking if we knew yet where she would be seated (mind you, invitations went out only a week ago) and if it would be with one particular friend who was also invited.
I'm honestly a little put off by this. It feels like she's upset about not bringing a guest and it stung a little that she thinks we would not host her in a way that she sees fit. Of course we will seat her with friends and people that she knows! We haven't even received back all of the RSVPs yet, including the one from the friend she wants to sit with. Even my FI felt that the questions were strange, and he's feeling very put off by the way she's acting.
Did anyone get questions like this? How did you respond graciously? We're probably over thinking this, but I just can't imagine asking someone about their plans for where I will be seated for their wedding!
