Uninvited/Unwanted guests

[LuckyBride710]

This is the message I am sending out to everyone on the guest list.

 

***It has come to our attention that there may be a few people who we have not had a postive history with, whom are planning to be in Vegas the week of the wedding***

 

TO OUR GUESTS.... We are thankful to our friends and family that are planning on sharing our event with us. We have spoken to several of you and given the details of our event in hopes that it will assist in early planning and ensure your attendance. WE would appreciate if our friends and family planning on attending would have our back and "SPREAD THE WORD" only guest that are invited by Nick and myself are welcome to ANY of the wedding related events. We cannot stress enough that the details of our wedding and the days leading up to are expected to be kept private and NOT shared with NON-invited guests.

 

While we cannot ask anyone not to be in Vegas altogether, we would appreciate some respect and understanding that this trip is supposed to be for our wedding and not just some group party that anyone should be expecting to be a part of.

 

 

----BDW-----thanks guys for your help in writing this- your feedback has helped so much and has given me the courage and soap box on which to stand to let people know that this is MY day!

Wow! That is horrible! I think you should talk to your mutual friends about the situation. An uninvitation might be a little too bold and it may make them want to come even more. Unfortunately you can't control other people taking a trip and that is probably what they will say to you. Hopefully your mutual friends can talk some sense into them, but if not they can't attend any planned events that you may have and the rest of the time you will have to try to avoid them. I am sorry that you have to experience this on your wedding week!

This is tough. But you cant really tell people that they cant go to vegas on vacation, kwim? Yah they are not invited to your events and they should know they aren't invited (obv bc they didnt receive an invitation.) and Im sure they wont try to crash and maybe this is where you should talk to your mutual friends and put that info out there. Dont stress about it, its totally not worth it! Good luck.

And I think what you sent was appropriate. Nice job!

Wow that really sucks. No definitely do not invite them to the wedding. They also don't have a right to attend wedding-related activities such as rehearsal dinner etc. that are being hosted in your honour. You can't keep them out of Vegas though, sadly.

I wouldn't say anything to them . .. they obviously want a response or they wouldn't have planned it that way and for you to hear about it. The last thing you need on your mind is worrying about people crashing the party. . .

But if you must say something, don't get your guests involved, just speak to the people directly . . .
