How to Handle Wedding Crashers

I loved the movie, Wedding Crashers but if I had uninvited guests crashing my wedding, I don’t think I’d find it funny.
At our wedding in 2001, we had our share of wedding crashers. There were 4 cousins of mine who brought along their boyfriends to the wedding (even though their boyfriends were not invited). What did I do? Well, while I did notice that these relatives of mine brought dates without letting me know (my wedding planner found seats for these extra guests but I didn’t bother to know how), I didn’t allow it to ruin my big day. I did mention it to my Mom days after the wedding why they did that. I was still gracious to them though. I told myself nothing can ruin my special day. In the big scheme of things, these are just little worries that need not create more wrinkles for me!
If it was my Husband’s ex-wife who showed up un-invited at the wedding then that’s a different story. I’d probably get her escorted out the door LOL
Nothing beats planning ahead though. It’s easier to instruct family members ahead of time not to bring children or dates (when they’re not specifically invited) but there are those who don’t listen and as I said, so as not to ruin your special day, it is best to let others deal with it so you don’t get stressed about having to re-organize the seating arrangements and all. I am sure your wedding planner (if she/he is any good) or your mom will deal with this.
