35 Entitled, Trashy, And Downright Terrible Wedding Guests (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertBeing a wedding guest seems pretty straightforward, right? All one has to do upon receiving an invitation is RSVP on time, turn up looking pretty (without wearing white!), have a great time, and (politely) celebrate the couple. However, not everyone is capable of following a few etiquette rules, making it a day to remember, in a bad way, obviously.
Our team at Bored Panda has carefully collected some of the trashiest wedding guests that couples immensely regretted inviting. Scroll down to find them, and make sure to upvote the ones that are worse than any bridezilla out there.
While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with Kate Duff, wedding and event planner and founder of Hitch Perfect, who kindly agreed to tell us more about the faux pas of wedding guests.

Kate Duff, wedding and event planner and founder of Hitch Perfect, tells us that the most common faux pas of wedding guests is RSVPing late.
"This is a big source of stress for couples, as it makes final preparations difficult—not to mention costly when you think about the fact that most couples pay per head!" she said.
Family Friend Said I Looked Fat On My Wedding Day
Flashback To When My Mother In Law Wore This To Our Wedding. You Could Also See Her Purple Thong Underwear Through The Material. See Her Hand Reaching Out! This Was During The Kiss When She Grabbed Him So She Could Kiss Him
She wore white to one other sisters in law wedding too. The third sister in law she approved of so she wore purple. She is no longer in our lives for many reasons.
"Onyone wearing white will be sprayed with tomatoes sauce, 10 kids with sprayers will be guarding the entrance"
Wedding Party I Went To Decided To Light Fireworks Inside A Warehouse Type Building With No Proper Ventilation Which Caused People To Leave Soon After
If you’re lighting fireworks inside of any structure, I question how you’ve survived as long as you have…
"Bringing along uninvited kids is another major faux pas," Kate adds. "Most couples these days specify on their invitations whether children are welcome or if it’s an adult-only affair. Many prefer the latter due to the interruptions that can occur during the ceremony!"
My Mother Cut My Wedding Cake Behind My Back And Ate It Off Her Hand. When I Told Her We Would Have To Spin The Cake For The Cutting Cake Photo, She Stormed Out In Front Of 150 Guests. I Asked For An Apology. Radio Silence Since 2017. I'm The Black Sheep By Dropping Contact
Toxic ppl enabling other toxic ppl. A toxic echo chamber. Consider yourself the lucky sheep for getting out of that dumpster fire.

Guess that means the kids are lousy. (No, really, that's what the word originally meant).
One more serious mistake that wedding guests are guilty of committing is arriving late. "Wedding day timelines are very carefully created to ensure the ceremony happens seamlessly—there are many events that need to happen to make up a wedding day so late guests can cause unwanted delays. It’s for this reason that timelines often include buffers for tardy guests," Kate explained.

You reply with a big middle finger and move on with caring for yourself.
I Went To A Wedding, Got There Early, Found A Decent Seat With A Good View ... Minutes Before The Nuptials Started, This Lady Sat Down In Front Of Me And Did Not Care One Bit That Her Fan Blocked The View Of Every Person Sitting Behind Her
Fortunately, the bride and groom can avoid poorly behaving guests on their special day by managing expectations early, said Kate.
"On your invites or wedding website, include clear directions on dress code, plus-ones, ceremony start time, and any other key details. Appoint a key contact for the day of the wedding to handle any guest-related issues. This is usually your wedding planner. However, if you’re planning the wedding yourself, identify a trusted family member or close friend to keep an eye on things," she suggested.

Hiding A Wedding Dress You Plan To Wear At Your Own Daughter’s Wedding
Kate also strongly recommends couples utilize a master of ceremonies (MC) to prevent guests from ruining their event. "Many MCs will ask the couple ahead of time whether there are any guests to ‘watch out for.’ If you have an attendee that you know can be trouble, have a word with your MC to make sure no impromptu speeches or unsavory song choices make the cut."
Can You Just Move Your Wedding So I Can Attend My MlM Conference? (Seen In A Fb Group)
Sounds like this pyramid scheme is pretty important to her. Guess she's missing the wedding, and also any future wealth she might have built had it not for getting involved in an MLM scam.
That’s... Not How It Works

Even with all these precautions in place, there's still a chance that there will be guests that the couple will regret inviting. They can avoid this by setting priorities while planning the wedding. "This is particularly important for the guest list. If you value a more intimate, close-knit celebration, use this to guide your decisions on invitees," Kate said.

"Consider whether you can realistically see them in your life in 10 years," she further advises. "Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime—make sure your guests are reflective of the importance of the occasion. This is particularly useful when considering whether to invite work colleagues."
No, No That's Not The Bride

Lastly, Kate encourages couples to stand firm on obligation invitations. "You don’t need to invite someone because you went to their wedding. You don’t need to offer a plus one or allow children to attend. Keep in mind that this day is about you!"

Poll Question
Which behavior is the biggest faux pas at a wedding?
Showing up uninvited
Being too intoxicated
Wearing inappropriate attire
Disrupting the ceremony
Forgetting to RSVP
Bringing uninvited guests
Starting a fight
Complaining about the event
Making it all about you
Being disrespectful to the couple
I got through almost 20 of them and gave up. Why do people bother having weddings anymore? Almost everyone I speak to who had a wedding complains about how badly it was one or how badly some people behaved and it darkened their whole memory of the day. Why pay all the money to invite these A-holes to an event when you KNOW they'll act this trashy or rude or plain disrespectful. Let's advocate ultra small weddings with only the people who are worth a damn in your life, everyone else can suck it.
2 things i learned about weddings - someone will always try to show up the bride & wear white AND the mother of the bride will do everything in her power to spoil the wedding planning experience for her daughter.
