Re: People that aren’t invited to your wedding
Things are complicated enough without a rsvp request. Without one, you’ll be chasing after your guests to get them to tell you whether they’ll be attending or not and how many. With an rsvp, the responsible ones will call and let you know so it’s less work for you in a way.
Yes, be prepared to deal with guests who will ask if they can bring and additional person or two. We even had folks cancel on us last minute because of this issue so it was a loss of money. So be prepared for last minute cancelations, too.
As for those guests that want to bring ab additional person and you know that there’s no room, simply tell them that you’ve pretty much maxed out your space capacity as you’re also accommodating for the groom’s friends n family as well as yours.
