My FI and I gave our final head count on tuesday.  We are getting married in 2 weeks.  Now i am finding out the several of our guest who weren't coming (b/c we aren't allowing children) have been told by FI grandmother that its not a problem.  Now i have no idea if these ppl are coming?  She has apparently said to them "Just bring the kids, what are they going to do? stop the wedding to tell you to leave?" I had made it abundantly clear that this was an ADULTS ONLY ceremony & reception.  What do i do if extra ppl show up? and with kids? help please

    I would ask whatever parent is related to your grandmother to call her out on it.  But that's just me.  This is a huge fear for me because I don't plan on having any extra chairs AT ALL.  So they might find themselves without a seat - and probably without food.

    If she will say who she told that to - I would follow up with them and see if they had changed their mind and that you're sorry but it's still adults only  Though if the adults wanted to come you could possibly update your caterer count but only if they let you know on the spot.

    I think overall it will probably work out if extras show up - because I think some people won't show....but you may end up with kids when you didn't want any if you don't deal with it directly.

    Sorry!!  It doesn't sound like a very comfortable spot to be in.  I'm way not looking forward to that!

    I would just tell people again that its adults only, and that you've already given your final count and if they come they won't really have a place to sit...

    I think thats messed up that your FI's grandma is doing that to you
