Guests adding other guests..ugh

Well, I honestly didn't think it would happen to me but it has.

First, my Dad's GF's Daughter asked if her friend who will be staying with her can come (My dad's gf asked for her...which was rude and weird that she had her mom ask for her, because she is older than me) and I told her we weren't having any plus ones, unless they were together of course...and then she tells me her daughter is dating this guy (lie, and I know it) but I gave in.

Then, one of my FI groomsmens ex-gf was texting some of the other groomsmen asking if she could come as their plus ones(again, not having them).Back story: She still tries to keep in touch with FI's group of friends, but she is always inappropriate with the guys (aka making out with 2 of them at the same time infront of her ex, who is still not over her as they only broke up a few months ago) also not cool cause these guys are supposed to be his best friends....anyways..

The groomsmen who she texted, texted my FI either to tell him about her rudeness, or some asking if she could come and would we mind?

Both FI and I said no, she wasn't invited and there are no plus ones. It is disrespectful to her ex to have her there anyway. She apparently is still going to "try to find a way to come". So desperate and annoying.

Anyone else having these issues?

That's rough. Nothing worse than desperation. So far, we haven't had any writeins but I have friends who say 'we'll pop in if we have time' and one girl who said 'can I snag dinner on my way to the club?' Um, what? No, you cannot score a free meal and the countless drinks you're no doubt gonna toss back before hitting the club... lame!

I just can't ever imagine inviting myself to a wedding....or trying to weasle my way into being a date or one...so awkward.

FI's aunt invited FIVE people on her RSVP. Still fuming, but FI and I gave in because it honestly wasn't worth the family fight it would have caused. The compromise is that from here on out, she will not be invited to anything from our end.

True, sometimes it is for sure not worth the drama. It's an awkward situation to be put in, but even moreso I think when they call you to ask you...then it is on the spot and unexpected.

Omg you are so not alone!! One guest asked if she could bring her sister I've never even met her and we can only afford plus ones of they are couples and another asked if she and two other girls could bring a guy we went to law school with who is hugely inappropriate with women when he drinks who is not invited. It is a wedding: a sacred event with our most cherished family and friendsnot a kegger! Geez
