RSVP from an uninvited guest!

Ruddy cheek!

What???? How rude! Is it for the day or just the evening?

That's really odd.

I'd never invite myself or my mum to a wedding I'd been asked to go to!

That is very rude. I would be saying no to this. Do you even know this woman?!

This makes me so angry. I had similar situation & said no way. Bloody rude IMO. I'd either ring or write saying that due to room constraints/caterers/number limits, extra guests are not possible. They may offer to even pay for the uninvited mother, but stick to your guns. On principle she shouldn't go & why should you pay for her & have the worry over it?

"I'm very sorry, we are limited on numbers and are unable to add extra guests."

^ This, polite but firm no.

Also - How bloody rude!

This. If they've only been invited to the evening then I'd let the mother come, but for a day invite definitely not.

We have met ge ra few times. I don't know her name though. I have written the email but saved it for now. Think my fiancé wants to ring his friend instead as it's nicer to talk properly we think (wish the guest had thought to call us first!). We aren't having a separate evening list, if people are invited its for the whole afternoon/ evening.

We had a similar thing. We sent an all day invite to my future husband's uncle, his 3 sons and one of their long term girlfriends. We got an RSVP back saying they'd all be coming along with 'dean's girlfriend'. I didn't even know dean (made up name, he's about 17) had a girlfriend so must be new and they didn't even bother to name her so I could put her on the seating plan etc. after a few hours of moaning about it I emailed future mil and asked her to ask what her name was etc. The message I got back was she's now not coming! Bloody cheek! I wouldn't have minded if they asked (except for the extra cost), but they just told us she was coming! I would never dream of doing anything like that.
