Goldieluks: @OP It is your wedding and you have every right to enjoy your day. Not at all It is no fun to see your guests standing around without seats or attend an invited event and cannot find a seat because gate crashes are occupying it I have been in weddings that ran out of food and drinks including water It is the most embarrassing moment for celebrants and the reason is uninvited longer throat guests After she has contacted her guests and let them know the event is strictly by invitation anyone that shows up uninvited have themselves to blame for their embarrassment The bouncers at the door will go by a list made in alphabetical order of all the guests invited so that those who are without their IV but on the list are not embarrassed The fellow will know from then on not to go to parties uninvited |

Goldieluks: @OP It is your wedding and you have every right to enjoy your day. i have never in my life attended an event i have not been invited to. i attended my cousins wedding few years ago. the noise and commotion caused by uninvited guest was not a nice sight. there were ushers but people were trooping the kitchen to look for food. i dont know about you but i felt like vomiting after the whole thing. i was the maid of honour but did not witness the couple cut cake cos i kept being pulled out to mobilise food her guest who had not eaten. i know it our culture but its not right. 2 Likes |

Goldieluks: Are you saying that being Nigerian gives us permission to be foolish and chaotic and not respect simple rules? Why are we then asking our government to do right and not dismiss it as being Nigerian? I don't get your question. Are we born to be disorderly in other words is it in our genetic make up to act foolishly or is it a learned response? 5 Likes |

babyosisi: You are getting it all wrong. Looking at it from a humanistic point of view, is it nice to bounce people out of your wedding? Even if these uninvited people are peaceful? Obviously if as a celebrant you notice univited guest causing havoc/chaos, you have every right to send them away. I asked you if you if you were a Nigerian because naturally, the Nigerian wedding settings is always friendly and family like. It is mostly in Abroad, where you see people attending wedding strictly by invitation. 1 Like |

zinfly: Sometimes occurrences such as this are inevitable, but if issues like this arises, then it is left for the celebrant to take total control of the situation. Am saying this, because there's no way you can avoid uninvited guest from attending a wedding. Some of these guests are hungry kids, you i cannot send them away just because i want my wedding to be as peaceful as possible. No! 1 Like |

Goldieluks: Are you assuming every event venue must have enough seats and space for everyone that wants to attend and the food and drinks plus souvenirs are limitless too? I am a Nigeria born and raised We can begin to do things differently by re learning our learned behaviors If the lady doesn't want gate crashers,she doesn't want gate crashers why should we question her decision to keep them away? Her close friends and family are already on her list,the others should stay home,she doesn't want them there How hard is that? You are free to have an open wedding,she is also free to have hers the way she wants. In this day and age of insecurities,she can decide not to have people she doesn't know or didn't invite at her event,it is her prerogative 1 Like |

Re: How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by Goldieluks: 9:12pm On Dec 10, 2012 |
babyosisi: It is not in my place to question people about their decisions, but what am saying is, it is not just nice to bounce people out of your wedding, because your wedding would be more enjoyable if both invited and uninvited guest feel welcomed. Whether sits are available or not is not the issue here. If you should attend wedding abroad, people sits on grass/fields if there's no enough sit. It is mostly in Nigeria where people fight for sits as if their lives depends on it. Forgetting that they won't be there for long. |
Re: How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by zinfly: 9:16pm On Dec 10, 2012 |
Goldieluks: i get where you are coming from Goldieluks but like babyosisi said i only have souv to cater for 300 people. and food for same and maybe more. i want to make sure that all my guest leave with a souv regardless of whether they give me a present or not. i don't see why its rocket science. "i don't know you please dont come". i don't want to offend anybody but i have people coming from various places and i just want to make sure it was worth their while. |

Goldieluks: I doubt this happens at wedding but let me believe you for sake of argument What if she doesn't want her invited guests sitting in the fields all dressed up? What if she doesn't want her invited guests fighting for seats Is there anything wrong in being organized and seating on assigned seats? |
Re: How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by Goldieluks: 9:21pm On Dec 10, 2012 |
zinfly: Yeah, one can do that, but be sure to do your wedding in a secure environment. Because there's no way one or two strange faces will not attend, if the wedding is done in an open area. If the wedding is done in the church ,I wonder how many of your uninvited church members you would bounce out from attending your reception. Phew! 1 Like |
Re: How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by Nobody: 9:23pm On Dec 10, 2012 |
zinfly: Thank you! I don't know why people are not getting it People order a certain number of drinks,food and souvenirs The seats and tables are also a certain number Your dance floor can only take so many You want the event to run smoothly and your guests to have a good old time I would rather have my invited guests have 3 pieces of chicken on their plate than one because I want to cater to uninvited guests 1 Like |
Re: How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by elnino3(m): 9:25pm On Dec 10, 2012 |
op what i think u should do is this get a large hall make an arrangement for your 300 well printed n placed this should be close to d podium then at the back...u can put plastic chairs or bench for d uninvited. but let Dem be demarcated and have your bouncers. what u will achieve is that they will attend sit faraway with their noise and eat what yu give them. then u treat ur guests royally. this will make the uninvited never crash another wedding cos no one wants to be singled out. and on the other hand you shouldn't expect to be invited to another man's own soon. |
Re: How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by zinfly: 9:26pm On Dec 10, 2012 |
Goldieluks: lol, i rented a hall for the wedding too. My uncle is a pastor and his church approved him wedding us. We will have two other pastors witnesses from the church who are invited to the reception. |

Tell us the truth so we can advice you better. Why don't you want uninvited guests at your wedding? Is it because you are scared of your ex? |
Re: How Do I Keep Uninvited Wedding Guest Away From My Wedding. by Goldieluks: 9:27pm On Dec 10, 2012 |
babyosisi: There is nothing wrong in being organised at your wedding. If i may ask, how many ''organised'' wedding have you attended there in Nigeria? Am not saying it is wrong to be organised. I don't want to go into details, but my dear most brides/bride grooms are always running helter skelter on their wedding day, no matter how organised they may have predicted their wedding to be. It happens everywhere. You just have to have a plan B, if the inevitable happens, all working towards the sucessfulness of one's wedding. 1 Like |

babyosisi: Lool@ Your flying thoughts. Not to sound judgmental, but you sound like a very self centered and stingy individual. No offence intended. For your info, I hardly attend weddings, but i have attended few weddings with my friends, and i have never come across bouncers in weddings. You have every right to be organised in your wedding, but be sure to do it in a secured environment. Is that too difficult to grasp? 1 Like |
