The screenplay was written by Mark and Jay Duplass, who were originally supposed to direct it. Somehow, though, it fell off their schedule and Jeffrey Blitz (Spellbound, Rocket Science) wound up with the bouquet in in his hand.

Fans of romantic comedy movies will have another new film to watch out for.
Also a wedding-centered feature, the film finds Kendrick’s character getting dumped by the bride’s brother before the event, so she must sit at a table of randos. That’s a promising assembly of talent, even if the first trailer isn’t anything all that special.
She contemplates going to the wedding at all, but decides to and gets assigned to the “loser table: Table 19!”.
Ex-maid of honor Eloise (Anna Kendrick) – having been relieved of her duties after being unceremoniously dumped by the best man via text – decides to hold her head up high and attend her oldest friend’s wedding anyway.
‘The table that should have known to send regrets, but not before sending something nice off the registry’. But it quickly becomes evident that she’s unwelcome when she takes her seat at table 19, a table of rejects played by Lisa Kudrow, Craig Robinson, and Stephen Merchant. Eloise is moved from the prime, bridal party to table 19, a table of random people who had no other place at the wedding.
