Uninvited guest attending the wedding.
My fianc and I are haveing a small destination wedding. 2 people who were not invited have already booked their flight and hotel for our wedding. They found out our wedding information from a family member who was invited. We had a small guest list for two reasons, first we wanted it to be our closest family and friends and second we simply cannot afford a big wedding. What do I do at this point since they have already paid and how do I prevent other people who are not on the guest list from attending?

Wow. First of all, I would tell the big mouthed family member what happened. I would also tell Big Mouth that they should call the people who booked and apologize for whatever in hell he/she said that made these people believe that an invitation would be forthcoming.
When is your wedding?
ETA - you should probably post this on the Etiquette Board - just put an XP infront of the Headline indicating that it is a cross post.Proud to be an old married hag!!

Wow, that's a lot of nerve.
Who is the family member and who are these two people?
How do you know that they are specifcally coming for your wedding and not just for a vacation?
BTW...if your wedding is in October like your profile says...you shouldn't have sent out invitations yet, anyways. But whatever.0 -

I don't think she has. I sent out STDs nine months before the wedding because travel plans would be required of everyone.Proud to be an old married hag!!

Yeah, I would confront the person who gave out your wedding information and make them deal with this mess. I can't believe people would book travel and accommodation without speaking to the bride and/or groom first, especially if they haven't gotten a STD or anything. Wow.Wedding Date: April 3
