The NO-STRESS GUEST GUIDE
One of the best things about your wedding? This is a rare, happy day when you’ll be solely surrounded by the people who matter to you. (Oh, and Great Uncle Richard, whom your parents insisted you invite, plus that irritating cousin you couldn’t exclude; but let’s forget about them.) They’re there to celebrate with you, showing their love and support. That doesn’t mean, however, that their behaviour will be entirely perfect. It’s unintentional on your loved ones’ part, but there are some typical wedding-guest behaviours that could end up raising your stress levels – both during the planning process and on the day itself. But fear not! We’ve got plan-ahead solutions to the most common annoyances, so you can head them off and start married life with a smile.
LAST-MINUTE PLUS-ONES
Your friend is starry-eyed over her new partner, whom she met a couple of months before the wedding. Of course, you’re thrilled for her; you’re less thrilled when she announces she’ll be bringing said partner to the wedding. You see, you didn’t actually give her a plus-one, because she was single when you sent out the invitations.
The solution
Be honest. Many people
