Production
Originally, there was going to be a subplot about Stifler's mom remarrying Stifler's dad, with Finch rushing to the ceremony to try to stop it. Tim Allen and Chris Penn were both attached at various points in the film's production to play the part.
The film is notable for the absences of several of its supporting characters from the first two films, including: Chuck "Sherminator" Sherman (Chris Owen), Heather (Mena Suvari), Vicky (Tara Reid), Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), Matt Stifler (Eli Marienthal), Jessica (Natasha Lyonne), Tom Myers (Casey Affleck), and Chris "Oz" Ostreicher (Chris Klein. With the exception of Nadia, none of them were mentioned at all in the film, though Oz was mentioned briefly in a deleted scene, in which his absence was explained. This is because the creators of the previous films noted it was near impossible to create interesting storylines for all of the main characters.
The wedding scenes were shot at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay, California.
It is also the first (and only) film in the series to be shot in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
