A bride-to-be was left fuming after a wedding guest added an extra person to their RSVP without asking – but some people think the bride is in the wrong for being annoyed
A bride-to-be has been left fuming after a wedding guest cheekily added an extra person to their RSVP without asking. The woman took to Facebook to vent her frustrations, sharing a snap of the offending RSVP in a bridal group.
The family friend of her fiancé had accepted the invite but altered the number of guests from four to “4 + baby”. Not only that, but they also made a note about dietary requirements, stating: “Don’t worry about [my husband] with his celiac disease. He’ll eat before the wedding – and baby will eat from my plate.”
The bride tried to be understanding, explaining: “She has kids from three different men including her current husband. So I asked her how many she thinks are coming and she told me four – including her one-year-old baby.” However, despite her best efforts, the guest later decided four wasn’t enough and sneakily added another member to the RSVP.

“She included her husband’s child from a previous relationship and like I don’t even know her husband well enough to have HIS child from someone else come,” the bride added. “She never told me that the child was coming with them. I’m just annoyed.”
Although the newlyweds understood most venues don’t designate seats for children under two, the bride wished the family friend would have asked for an additional guest instead of assuming it wouldn’t be an issue. “Nothing I can do now,” she sighed.
While a few Facebook group members agreed with the begrudging bride – urging her to mitigate tension by reaching out to the guest in question to confirm seat count – others backed the actions of the family friend.
“Yikes, if you invite the family then you invite the whole family. If you didn’t want kids there, you should have said so,” one wrote. “It’s not a child-free wedding, and it would be very unkind to welcome all but one of the children in that family. Seriously unkind,” another chimed in.
