Nothing will ruin a wedding other than calling people who can be the biggest troublemakers. Here are some wedding day tips to avoid the worst guests for your wedding.

The ex
Even though you may be keeping in touch with your ex, he/she can be the worst guest for your wedding.

If you invite your ex, he/she would intentionally ruin your wedding.

Wedding Guests


Eccentric relative

An aunt loves spreading rumours to give you and your family a hard time. If you have no other option but to invite your relative, then give them a seat at the back and never make eye contact with them during your wedding ceremony. If you have a drunken uncle (mother’s brother or your dad’s sister’s husband) who has a history of taking potshots at friends or guests, then try to ask somebody to keep an eye on him so that he doesn’t ruin your big day. It is better to keep them at a distance so that you don’t have to listen to their snarky comments.

Your drunken friend
Never invite a guest who makes a fool of herself or himself at parties by consuming a lot of alcohol. Always use some prudence when it comes to inviting people. The last thing you want is a person turning out to be a nuisance especially when drunk.

Big no to kids
If you are desperate to get married, then try not to invite kids for your wedding. Inviting kids can be a cause of concern as you always need adult supervision when children are around. Moreover, if there is nobody to take care of the kids, then things can go out of hand and it can turn out to be stressful for you. If your wedding is a family affair, then children can be the worst guests to invite for wedding. If someone loves children and is willing to take care of them, then feel free to invite them for your wedding.

Wedding Guests

Wedding crasher
Even though you have no intention of inviting this person to your wedding, they will show up unannounced. If you don’t want them to hold the spotlight, then simply ignore them.

Naysayer
No matter how serious you are about getting married, there will always be one person in your life who doesn’t approve of your choice of your life partner. It may be your mother or your close pal who can indeed cause a lot of stress. So, it is better to avoid getting into arguments if you want to enjoy your big day.

A girl who loves the spotlight
It is your wedding and you want to look your best. Yet there will be a girl who wants to outshine you. She might be someone who want to garner attention for her fashionable clothes and heels. She will look for every method to outsmart you. She can be a friend or a co-worker. So instead of feeling irritated, it is best to ignore her.
