Wedding Guests from...HELL!!!

1. Mga di nakakaintindi ng R.S.V.P.

2. Mga nag confirm na aattend on your wedding only to notify you on the wedding day itself that they could not make it. Now, what should we do with the reserved seats that we already paid for.

3. Mga inimbitahan na "Mr. & Mrs. blah blah" reserved seats for two (2), and yet they bring the whole family!

4. Mga nagsasama ng mga pasaway na bata, a.k.a, Kids from HELL!!

5. Mga pumipitas ng flowers sa centerpiece ng Table kahit di pa nag sisimula ang program at kainan.

6. Mga Eat & Run Guests. Sana pag kinasal sila, mag-uwian din mga bisita nila pagkakain at wala paki sa program.

7. Mga nag-uuwi ng sobra-sobrang give-aways/souvenir items, as if ma-ibebenta ata nila ng retail ang mga yon.

8. Mga guests na hindi marunong sumunod sa instructions, tulad ng paliparin dapat ang paru-paro, but instead ginagawang souvenir at inuuwi sa bahay, para siguro gawing Pet.

9. Mga Singles na maaarte at ayaw mag-participate sa bouquet/garter toss, as if naman gusto nilang tumandang dalaga/binata.

10. Mga mahilig dumutdot (mag stick ng fingers) sa icing ng wedding cake ng pa-simple at hindi na lang mag-antay na i-serve sa kanila, akala mo mga ginutom sila sa pagkain. Buti na lang fondant ang cake namin.

11. Mga nag-uuwi ng kubyertos at table napkin, as if ipakikilo ata nila yung kubyertos at gagawing lampin ng bata ang table napkin.
I totally sympathize with you. Yun ang problema ng mga Pinoy, masyadong family oriented na kahit na "We have reserved 2 seats in your honour" ang nakalagay sa invitation, they bring the whole clan! We invited only 80 guests at mh wedding but may iba na di marunong magbasa at mag RSVP na even if we placed 2 lamg sa invite, 5 sila dumating! At may iba na kahit ma hindi ma invite, they invited themselves! So the head count on the day itself shot up to 150 but we reserved only good for 100pax yun food. Total nightmare for my caterer!

And i really put on my dress code na "elegant white" pero may iba naka polka dots pa! So goodbye on how i envisioned my wedding photos are gonna look like.

Also yung mga makakapal amg mukha who invited themselves sa wedding are the people pa who made hakot most of the wedding favors! Even the centerpieces na flowers, they took it even when i told the coordinators not to let the guests bring them home because i wanted all the flowers to be put on my grandmother's grave.

But the worst guests are those who wished they were given an invitation. Since my husband and i wanted a small intimate fun wedding with only very close family and friends, may ibang tao that were left out, mostly people na feeling close lang and those "friends" na mabait lang pag kaharap mo. Since feeling close sila but werent invited, sila ang maraming comments about the wedding like how the food ran out, which was the only disaster that day. So to put them in their place, i tweeted (most of them have twitter and para as if di ko alam kung sinu-sino sila), "my whole life, i have been scrutinized and judged by the public eye. Please respect the fact that my husband and i wanted a private and intimate wedding with only our CLOSEST families and friends. To the haters, who the hell are you to decide who we should and should not invite to MY wedding? Are you f---ing paying for it?" i guess that put them in their place cuz i never heard anything about it after.
