People Who Never Got Invited!

Invitations are a convention that has been there for ages. So, whenever there is some kind of an even, there would be inviting cards sent out to the guests-to-attend. Yet, there is always a guest dropping by while he was never invited.
Regarding weddings, a lot of guests come to attend the rituals without any official inviting card. These are the people who we usually call “wedding droppers-by”.

That particular type of guests is the people we get no prior notice about their coming to the ceremony. This is simply happens as a natural consequence of us not asking them to come. Only because they believe that they have the right to celebrate with anyone his/her special occasion, they tend to eventually drop by.
If you are planning to drop by an event as joyful as a wedding, follow the upcoming advice on how to do it well:

Pretend to be a far relative or part of the family.

Families and relatives are essential guests in any marriage party. This is why wedding inviting cards tend to have some other hidden goal, which is to bring all the relatives and close acquaintances together.

As a consequence to such a large crowd, no one will seem to spot any unfamiliar guest or care to ask who that person is and what his/her relation to the couple can be. Hence, acting like pat of the family should be the best open option.
What should make it perfect is bringing a glamorous-looking gift that no one would say no to. Everybody would suddenly start welcoming you warmly as if they too remember you well.  Just keep playing along and everything should be fine.

Now why not pretend that you belong to the people organizing the occasion?

It is always available for you to act like a member of the people organizing the wedding. This way, you can safely drop by a wedding without worrying about what to say or do.

It is quite common in weddings to find a great number of strangers who turn out to be part of the working team. This is why acting like one of them shall definitely open the way for you. So all what you are doing is mere acting and pretence. Now we all know that it is all about guaranteeing a good dinner for yourself!

In the worst case scenario, if you were asked about your identity, you can simply pretend to be a friend of someone attending the ceremony as well. Just make sure he would not be close enough to listen to you.  
Choose any name you would like to be called. Also, try to get to know any name of any guest attending in order to use it when asked about the person you know in there.

This is considered the most secure approach in dropping by at a party, especially if you were not planning to say whether you are a relative of the bride or the groom. Plus, things can never go wrong, as no one would ever care to make sure about the name you have given.

Wear Elegant Clothes

Remember to wear formal and elegant clothes when dropping by at a party. You should know that this is the most important step in securing yourself and protecting your back. Do not forget that weddings are formal and conventional occasions where people tend to put on their best outfits.

Dropping by at a party you know nothing about cannot be summed up in getting a good meal at the end of the celebration. Guess what? You can run into your soul mate. It happens!

Finding the right time is a must

Do not forget to arrive at the ceremony extremely late when guests would be half-drunk and busy with the crowd. You do not want someone to put his nose really in your business and ask so many questions, or do you? Just make sure to show up at the second half of the party when people would be out of their heads.

Once you get to the place, people would not really note your presence and then you may feel comfortable enjoying the reception. Generally, the idea of dropping by at a wedding without any official invitation does not look or sound right. However, do not forget that such people can be very amusing and they can definitely help entertain your guests with conversations. In all cases, those people dropping by love to dance and enjoy their time to the full. And who does not? Actually, most of us love weddings and happy occasion for the fun part of music, food and dancing.
