Wedding Woes

RSVPing Plus 2?

Hello Ladies - this is my first post, and never in a million years did I think it would be about something like this!  It's a little complicated, but here's the back story:
We're from a small town, and everyone knows everyone else.  One of our invited guests has a younger brother that used to be good friends with one of our groomsmen.  The the groomsmen's wife left him for the younger brother of the guest invited to the wedding.  The older brother, who is invited to the wedding, RSVP'd that his brother and his girlfriend (the ex-wife of our groomsman) may be coming to the wedding with him.  I think this is inappropriate and unfair to our groomsman, but how would you tactfully tell them this?  We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or make a big deal out of it, and I appreciate any suggestions on how to handle this.  Thanks in advance for your advice!

  • I'd just tell him that he's a guest, and guests don't get their own guest lists.  I wouldn't worry about hurting his feelings, since his feelings are likely crazy and unreasonable, given his RSVP.

  • "I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding - your brother and his girlfriend were not invited to the wedding. they will not be attending."

    just be direct.
  • Ditto Barbie.

    I concur with the PP; Guests don't get to add another guest themselves. Totally inconsiderate. 

    And nice to see someone else on here from South Dakota!!! ; )
