The problem with asking for invitations is, what happens when
Aunt Karen or Second Cousin Joe forgot? The HC will be
continually be pulled to vouch for these people. And what if the
guests are a parent's friends and the HC don't know them?

If you really feel that you need to check guests at the door, I
am sure that you could come up with some creative solutions. You
could assign a family member or two to act as "verifiers" as
necessary. I would think this no bigger job than being ask to
tend to a guest book. If Aunt Karen comes in without her
invitation, this trusted family member could verify that Karen
belongs. I suppose you could also use a driver's license to do
the same.

It would be easy enough to do a list of the invitees' names on a
clipboard, if there was serious concern about crashers.

But what happens after Cousin Whoever verifies people entering
the reception ? He's presumably going back to enjoying the
party, leaving a wedding crasher free to sneak in. It would make
more sense to hire bouncers at that point (or make everyone wear
bracelets, although that would look ugly in formal photos).

I was actually suggesting that one should hire a bouncer and use
a family member to verify someone's identity if necessary
(although a driver's license would probably work the same.) But
I think that this is similar to home security. We can lock all
the doors and set all the alarms and most burglars will be
deterred, but if someone really wants to get in, they will find
a way. One only needs to watch a sit-com for ideas of how to
sneak in the back with the staff (although in the TV shows, you
need a staff uniform and a push cart!) :P

My husband and I once went to his cousin's wedding, and he only
brought the written directions part of the invitation and not
the invitation itself. This was before GPS devices. The final
part of the directions simply said, "Turn left on Allegheny
Avenue and proceed to the church," so we stopped at the first
Catholic church we saw. Wrong church. Went further down the
road to the second Catholic church we saw. Wrong church. Third
time was the charm, though.
The moral of this is either for guests to bring the invitation
or for brides to include the name of the church in the
directions, LOL.
