From fixing a broken chair to casually readjusting an off-kilter picture frame, this type of guest is the party\u2019s self-appointed, pro-bono handyman.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how hard you\u2019ve planned to make sure that everything goes well, there\u2019s always a possibility that something can go askew. The fixer-upper is an opportunist who\u2019s on the prowl\u2014just waiting for something to go wrong. These guests are well-intentioned folks, but sometimes they may end up stepping over the line and start fixing things that aren\u2019t broken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It may be hard for them to stop playing master-carpenter or messing around with the table arrangements to suit their tastes. Just remember to be friendly but firm and gently nudge them towards the dance floor and distract them with the rowdy conga-line.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_networker\"><\/span>2. The networker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This guest doesn\u2019t waste any time. You can recognize them by the way they start handing out business cards before they&#8217;ve even taken off their coat. This person has the flashiest smile and the sharpest suit. They come to the party with one objective and one objective only\u2014to get their name out there. Whether they&#8217;re trying to swing a new job or promote their new start-up, they seem to be everywhere all at once. Expect them to twist all\u00a0light-hearted conversation into advertisements about how great and competent they are.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"435\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10015\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Wedding-Guests-the-Networker-2.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding Guests The Networker\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Wedding-Guests-the-Networker-2.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Wedding-Guests-the-Networker-2-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The networker won&#8217;t just be a nuisance to the guests. As a working professional, they will undoubtedly try their hand at chatting you up. As with the majority of the guests on this list, be polite, but deftly pull yourself away. If they are being particularly clingy, excuse yourself to the back room and manage the behind-the-scenes action for a while. They\u2019ll get the hint, hopefully.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_entertainer\"><\/span>3. The entertainer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This person lives the most interesting, Instagram-documented life. They know just enough about every subject to be able to participate in any conversation. Not only do they ooze charisma and charm, but they also have a knack for know exactly what to say and when to say it. How to spot them? Well chances are, they\u2019ve already approached you and complimented your party-planning skills. <i>Slick<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"413\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10009\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Party-Guests-The-Entertainer.jpg\" alt=\"Weddings Guests the Entertainer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Party-Guests-The-Entertainer.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Party-Guests-The-Entertainer-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While this guest is definitely not like the other, more abrasive guests, the entertainer can cause you some problems. They may be you so engaging that you\u00a0end up spending a little too much time with them. Even if this person has given you the most intellectually and emotionally stimulating conversation you\u2019ve ever had, remember that you\u2019re not being paid to chat with the guests! You have work to do, so politely pull yourself away (even if you don\u2019t want to), and get back to coordinating! Your clients will be sure to thank you for your services.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_hot-mess\"><\/span>4. The hot-mess<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Every great event has a wildcard\u2014it\u2019s unavoidable. This party\u00a0guest jumps in at random, sometimes awkward, moments and attempts to dominate the conversation. They should, theoretically, realize that if they are at a\u00a0<i>wedding<\/i> party that it\u00a0<i>can\u2019t<\/i>\u00a0revolve around them. But we can&#8217;t rely on logic sometimes. They are also\u00a0the likeliest offenders to\u00a0end up way too drunk by sipping other people\u2019s unattended drinks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10011\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Party-Guests-Hot-Mess-1.jpg\" alt=\"party-guests-hot-mess-1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Party-Guests-Hot-Mess-1.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Party-Guests-Hot-Mess-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This guest is a hurricane that somehow managed to take on human form. It may be easy to humor them at the beginning, but the most boisterous of their kind will escalate their bold behavior and may cause problems for your clients. While it may not be your job to babysit, you may end up having to hail a cab for them halfway through the program.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_emotional_wreck\"><\/span>5. The emotional wreck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re not sure why this guest decided to come to a party to then spend the whole time wallowing in their own self-pity. They will alternate between bear-trapping a poor unsuspecting guest to listen to them reminisce about the \u201cgood \u2018ole days\u201d and sitting alone under their own personal storm cloud, silently picking at their food. If you hear them wailing about their own single-ness in a celebration of marriage unions, run the other way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"447\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10012\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Event-Planning-Party-Guests-The-Emotional.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding Guests The Emotional Trainwreck\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Event-Planning-Party-Guests-The-Emotional.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Event-Planning-Party-Guests-The-Emotional-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This Debbie Downer can put a damper at whatever table they are assigned to.
