Despite the fact that you’ve been organising your big day for over a year and you’ve meticulously planned every detail, from the wedding invitations all the way through to the wedding flowers, what your wedding guests say and do on your wedding day is something you cannot control.
Unfortunately there’s a few things GUARANTEED to happen – and they’ll annoy the hell out of you. Here’s what to expect!
1. Guest List Additions
Someone’s bound to bring along an unauthorised plus one. Try not to spend the entirety of your vows giving evils to your neighbour’s new girlfriend – get your chief bridesmaid to do it instead!

3. Table Plan Troubles
It’s almost inevitable that one or two guests will completely disregard your ever-so-fancy table plan that you’ve spent hours painstakingly planning.

6. Social Faux Pas
Posting pictures of you and your new husband before you’ve had chance to approve them is just not acceptable. What if your huge social following catches wind of these amateur snaps with highly unflattering angles?! Your Insta-fame could be jeopardised!

7. Drunken Fools
One of the groomsmen is bound to have one too many bevvies and think it’s a good idea to photobomb your romantic wedding shots. Tell him the free bar is about to close and watch him skip off back into the marquee leaving you to pose in peace!
8. Light-Fingered Friends
Susan from accounts (who you begrudgingly invited at the Christmas party) has had her eyes on those pretty napkin rings all day and there are reports that she’s now relocated them to her bag. Why don’t guests understand that wedding décor is not free for the taking?! As soon as you’re back from honeymoon, create a wanted posted for the staff room and stare her down at the photocopier.
