Do people really have nothing better to do with their time than crash a wedding? I really hope someone tries this at mine. They will get a good roundhouse kick to the face with my stilleto.
Is it bad that I actually find this pretty funny?
IDK - I feel like most wedding crashers are pretty harmless. They may eat a piece of cake, have a drink and dance with your friends. They aren't out to destroy your reception.
@Mrs.KMM: I agree but when you do not have an open bar package, this can get pricey for the bride and groom and that's not cool. They shouldn't have to pay for some random crasher to drink all night.
I'd be all for it if they're fun at the reception.
Well... and if there was only like.. 2 of them.
And one was Owen Wilson.
@Mrs.KMM: I think I'd be okay with crasher crashing the drink part of the evening - but if they crashed the dinner part, that'd be a huuuuge cost if the caterer caught wind.
The other danger is that crashers could walk off with the card box:

Can people actually get away with this?
The only way I could see a wedding crasher actually staying is if the wedding was HUGE, like 400+ but how many weddings are that big? I would think the pool of weddings to attend would be limited.
Now, I have heard of a "company crasher" who crashes company parties & that I get, because in a large company, nobody would know if that person actually worked there or not.
And that’s why all of these wedding websites should be password protected. Beyond just crashing a wedding, if you’re listed it wouldn’t be too difficult to track down your home address. By having the information out there for the world to see, you’re basically just saying “No-one will be home on Saturday, June 25th from 2pm to midnight so feel free to let yourself in and clear out the joint”.
I know of someone whose house was robbed while they were at their daughters wedding. It’s kind of hard to be joyous when all of your electronics and jewelry have been stolen.
@Legallyblondiebride: They will get a good roundhouse kick to the face with my stilleto. LOL makes me think of Napoleon Dynamite and the "round house kick to the face wearing these bad boys!?"
Honestly, my wedding is going to be so small that FI and I will notice right away if someone crashes, and then we would ask them to leave.
@Mrs.KMM: I saw a huge news story a few months ago about how people are crashing weddings to steal the card boxes with monetary gifts inside. They are also robbing the people's home while everyone is away at the wedding. In fact, two women were just caught on tape stealing gifts from a wedding a few weeks ago.
@BayStateBride: That's horrible. Walking out with the card box!!! Yet another reason why I dont want people bringing gifts!!
Yep, I'm definitely password-protecting my wedding website now. No ifs, ands, or buts. I WISH some asshat would try to stroll up in my wedding uninvited. One look at my 6'5" FI and 6'8" best man, my guess is that he'd turn right back around.
@BayStateBride: I said MOST wedding crashers are harmless. Obviously there can be bad apples anywhere. You guests and/or the staff at the venue can also steal your gifts and card box. It's not like that possibility is limited to crashers.
OMFG. I just watched the little demo video on the app's website. My blood is boilingggg! There's like a leaderboard for douchebaggetry, basically. They'll get points if they go, hook up with someone, catch the bouquet, TAKE a centerpiece, etc. WHAT THE FUCK?!
@Mrs.KMM: I also find it pretty hilarious. My wedding reception will only have about 30 people and will be held at a restaurant so it would probably be difficult for someone to crash unnoticed, but if I had a traditional reception I don't know if I would mind some benign crashers.
@UpstateCait: Such a good point. I don't have a website through a typical vendor (I just built our own and bought our domain name, etc.), but it wouldn't be hard to figure out my name, and then use public records to find out where I live and voila.
Good reminder to be vigilant.
Ok personally I think this is hilarious. Is the whole thing kind of douchey? Well yeah obviously. But I can also definitely see the Humour in it.
Do people get away with wedding crashing? Cos if they do then I don't have to worry about having limited numbers, I'll just tell everyone else to crash lolololol
:-O This is horrible! I'd love to see someone try to crash my wedding. Not only will they be bounced by security, they'll be escorted away by the Department of Homeland Security.
I kind of chuckled durng their trailer. Crazy stuff though.
@zagora: We didn't use a free wedding site either. We built ours on our own domain so it's not only password protected but it also requires a username to login. DH was pretty adament that it be secure and I had no issue with it. Better to be safe than sorry!
I actually find it kinda funny. I mean, it wouldn't bother me if somebody had crashed my wedding! I had a buffet and no free alcohol. Have at it! If you want to spend you evening at my wedding, heck enjoy! lol.
A harmless wedding crasher would make me laugh, I admit. But this just takes it to a whole new stalker level. Gross.
I would not have been cool with someone crashing my wedding. It’s not even about the food and booze (since we had plenty of that) but moreso the fact that I don’t trust strangers and I’ve heard too many horror stories about things being stolen. We had 75 people at our wedding, all of which were close friends or family. If there was a crasher, I would have known about him/her and promptly dealt with it.
You ladies who would have been fine being crashed are way cooler than I am! Lol
@UpstateCait: Haha. Exactly. Some of these bees are making me feel like such a square by them saying they wouldn't be bothered by it and I definitely would! Call me a brat, a bitch, a drama queen, but if you crash my wedding, you will get a foot in your ass. If you're not invited, please don't invite yourself!
@CarolinaCola: Perhaps we'd feel differently if we had room for everyone we want to invite, but if you're like me, there are people who you'd like there, but you can't invite because you need to keep costs down.
If THOSE people couldn't make it, I sure as hell wouldn't want to pay for some random jackass who wants to hookup with a guest. But maybe I'm just more tightly wound than other gals!
@zagora: Oh no, no! I feel exactly the same as you do about it!
@zagora: I guess the way I see it, you likely aren't paying anything for most crashers.
They aren't going to get your meal (because it would be very obvious at that point in the reception that they don't belong). If you have an open bar or a cash bar, you aren't paying for their drinks (they only way you would be is if your venue is charging the B&G on a per/drink basis). It doesn't cost anything for them to dance. If they eat a piece of cake, there are typically a ton of leftovers of that anyway that would otherwise be thrown out, so no cost there.
@Mrs.KMM: I see your point. I'm not sure if crashers as a rule don't crash dinner. Also, how do crashers know if the bar is paid for by consumption or if it's a flat rate?
We're making our beer ourselves and buying the rest, so any alcohol not consumed comes home with us afterward. I'd rather give that to friends.
Oh wow...this funny yet crazy at the same time. Do people really have nothing better to do?

Some douchebag has created an app that allows you to scout out prospective weddings to crash.
My guess is that most people will be too scared and/or decent to crash a wedding, but I really hope this does not catch on. How vile.
