what part of ONE SEAT do you not understand? RANT

JKeyes2011

So my invites went out yesterday and I am already recieving responses from people which is good, but a couple people have responded in a way that makes me think they don't know how to read correctly. We are really trying to keep numbers down and therefore we didn't add plus ones on the response cards. If I just invited the person I sent the invite to I kindly put on the reply card, "We have reserved one seat in your honor" well two one seat people have responsed to me by email and facebook.
One girl facebooks me, "The card says that there is one seat, but can I bring a date?" I told her that we have to see because we are a bit tight on space.
The other girl emails me, "The card says there is one seat, but can I make it two."
EXCUSE ME!!! Can you make it two???? It says one for a reason. I emailed her back saying we are already over capacity at the venue and trying to keep numbers as low as possible. For both messages I wanted to say HELL TO THE NO!
People are annoying!
Ok rant over

I think I'll be getting some of those calls too. Do people not know how much weddings cost? One is one and you explicitly only invited one for a reason.

i received some of those calls and texts as well and i just smiled and politely told them they're crazy!

If they are just asking to bring random dates, then yes, they're nuts and that's rude. However, if they have SO's or spouses, I can see why they would ask.

Just reading the title of this post made me lol! I feel your pain, Girl! GOing through the same thing right now. I actually had one person invite 2..yes 2 other people! WTH? and one person that invited 3 others! PLUS they didn't write a name on the card AND NO return address on the envelope either! Of course both were guests of my FI......All I can do is sigh.....

So happy this isn't just me. Two friends of my mom begged to be invited to the wedding. We did the same thing 1 seat has been reserved in your honor.....both ladies asked if they could bring their sister's so they won't be by themselves. But ? is why did you beg for an invite? I only gave plus 1's for SO and spouses. Actually several people I invited are on the outs with their SO's or spouces and gave me some seats back. Just keep your cool....I told them at the end if I have extra seats I will let you know. But with FI inviting so many people he may take over my open seats lol! But using the term over capacity is good....if there's no room then you can't come. Simple as that.

i JUST had this conversation with my roommate about people wanting to bring dates to weddings...
anyone who is engaged or married is getting a 'plus one'.
but seriously, we have all sat somewhere for a couple hours making small talk with some people we don't know or don't know that well.
sigh.
