Wedding planning can be a stressful experience, and it's not just the endless decisions that can be exhausting for couples getting married. Research has revealed that dealing with demanding guests can be the biggest stress on the bride and groom.
Hitched, a wedding planning website surveyed 24,000 newlyweds to find out which guest behaviours are the most annoying, and it turns out that asking to bring a plus one or child, who wasn’t specified on the invite, is the most annoying question guests can ask. It's understandable why couples wouldn't want to pay for an extra meal for someone who was not invited to the wedding.
Not only that, but couples also don't appreciate being asked how to RSVP to the big day or being asked for a special menu. It's important to read all the details properly on the wedding website as it can save couples a lot of stress.
When it comes to the day of the wedding, couples have a few pet peeves. A third of couples said they hate when a guest tries to become the centre of attention, and a third also said they don't appreciate guests getting too drunk too soon.
Ginger Ray’s wedding planning expert, Jess Martin, previously told The Agency that the best way to avoid guests asking to bring a plus one is to make it very clear on the invite who the invite is for. If a guest is so unhappy about not being able to bring another person to the wedding, they shouldn't come at all.
It's important for guests to be mindful of the wishes of the couple and not do anything that may take away from their special day. So, if you're attending a wedding, make sure you read all the information properly, don't ask to bring a plus one, and don't try to make it all about you!
