How to Deal With Bad Wedding Guests
You likely have a clear idea of which guests will cause trouble at your wedding. A detailed plan of action will help your wedding party deal with these bad guests and keep them from interfering with your special day. Although the discussion can be a negative one – such as discussing at which point a guest should be removed and how – you'll regret it if you don't make the decisions beforehand and are forced to make them in front of other guests.

Ask a respected individual from both the bride and groom's side of the family to handle bad wedding guests. Each person should have a relationship with most people on their side of the family and be a respected individual within that family. The bride and groom should never have to handle wedding guests who are out-of-line.

Ask the respected individual from the bad wedding guest's side of the family to talk to the wedding guest if they only need talked to.

Plan to solve complaints before they arise. For instance, if you know of a certain guest that will become out-of-line if driving directions aren't clear, do everything in your power to provide clear directions to the ceremony and reception locations.
