How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by zinfly: 4:12pm On Dec 10, 2012
I need suggestions please. i am getting married soon and would like 300 guest maximum. i have already been advised by a few friends that they will be bringing their friends.

Firstly i find that rude as i understand weddings are meant for close friends and family.

I am considering getting bouncer and security.

Is this acceptable in Nigeria.

We both share the same Minds_ am planning doing the same- I resolved at "STRICTLY-BY-IV" things with a pass like a card inside the IV_
If a guess is coming without the Pass even with the IV there's not going to be an entry thats my plan for you bro

let your guests know their guests aren't welcome and do prepare a guest list and employ people who can check that the names on IVs match those on the guests list.

poster i think you should have sent out invitations specifying admittance by invite only. But you know in Nigeria there is no way to stop those hungry mofo's from crashing your event. All you have to do is make sure the people serving food know who your important guests are and as long as those people get served then all the others can suck air if food and drinks run out.

It's not just about food and drinks.
Some people want an intimate ceremony, family and close friends only.

- Be polite and tell your invitees not be bring anyone else. Let them know there will be bouncers and labelled tables. But some are still going to bring 'supporters' anyway. It is a 'Nigerian' thing.

- Make sure you have everyone necessary covered. I was once at a wedding where the groom's step-mom was "mistakenly" left out - she went there with her invited daughter..it wasnt pretty.

- Ensure the check points are far away from the wedding area so the noise and cat-fights will not affect your events. And stay away from the check points.

Good luck

By all means do
Call those friends and tell them their guests are not invited
Tell everyone invited to come with their invitations
It is high time Nigerians started acting like civilized people.
They can come to the Church service but not welcome at the reception.
If I were to have my wedding today in Nigeria it will be strictly by invitation with names placed on the tables. and an usher will be at the door to check off the names on a list i will provide and another lead you to your seats.
if you don't have your name there ,you go back home
Simple.This is 2012 for heavens sake

Possible only if you are having an indoor event where guest must show their IV at the door before being allowed in!

If you take time to pass the strictly by invitation warning ahead of time telling your invited that the card permits JUST one!! You may be lucky.

Good luck with that anyway!!! Cos Personally I don't like going to events alone and their are a lot of people like me out there.

Since you'll be in naija it may be harder but it is possible
-Warn your friends/invitees ahead that it will be invitation only
-Have a complete list of invited guests at the door and enforce it by -
-Hiring several bouncers/name checkers/security for 300 people (thats a lot of people to control)
-make sure you use non-family members/friends who cannot be talked into allowing people whose names are not on the list in

Don't allow roaches and leeches looking for free food & booze to invade one of the most special days in your life. These people are troublemakers and have no stake in making sure your day goes hitch-free and hence more likely to misbehave. Goodluck & congrats.

Dts not possible here in naija. Invite or no invite, pple wil still crash ur wedding. I think the only alternative is 2cut off the reception. Do only court or church wedding without reception. Or else OYO bcz some wedding crashers big pass bouncers sef.

I don't believe it is about being broke but rather about wanting your invited guests only
Weddings are not supposed to be open sports games where anyone can wander in from the streets.
It is a private intimate moment especially in this day of kidnappings and Boko haram.
People print invitations for a reason and they also want a fair head count for planning
I have been to wedding where invited guests could not Find seats and the place is crowded with unknown guests struggling for food and souvenir.Nigerians should learn to respect themselves and not show up to ruin people's occasion .
Nothing is limitless including food ad drinks
If she planned for 300,that is the number she wants and folks ought to respect her wishes.

Okay. What would you call people who gate-crash someone's wedding that they've spent so much money & time invested in? eating all the food and drinking all the wine & causing disorder?

I've seen this happen so often and its so rude & disrespectful & ruins weddings.

A wedding is a sacred occasion, happens once for most people and should be respected. Since those peole don't respect the bride & groom, then I have no respect for them.

Its a good move jare,I see no reason why some invitees will still come with friends,as if the host is a father xmas. the RSVP on the IV is to enable the host plan,but not in the case with Nigerian.pls put "strictly by IV" on the IV,its high time we got it right in our way of life.

Whether you like it or not uninvited guests will be at your wedding. So many of this strictly by IV weddings don't work out cause after so much pressure from the bride n groom family you will willingly tell the bouncers to fling open the entrance gate.
However any family member that wants to bring in extra people must make provision for their feeding.its simple: you are looking @ 300 guest right?make provision for 300 people if 200 extra people turn up for the wedding its their luck! The major thing is you guyz are now man n wife

Young man if you want to do wedding you do, otherwise you are free to just call the pastor or priest to soleminise then carry your wife home afterwards. Its not compulsory for you to invite people to your wedding. This is Nigeria. Here, we give room for extras in almost everything we do. Nowadays people are only trying to copy the stingy ways of the western world. How do I come to a wedding as an invited guest and glue my bottocks to the seat with nobody to chat with or enjoy the program together. I dont think its fair.

I've once been to a party where big men and women were in attendance and even k1 played as the musician and a lot of bouncers were used including mopol and soldiers. Even as at that people still gate crashed the event. Just try and plan for the unwanted guests and count it as giving back to the society.... This is africa o....
