Last minute invitation

My dad asked me 4 days ago if he could add 2 people to the guest list for our wedding in a month. We already had his one cousin on the list (because I grew up with their kids and actually know them). This new addition is another cousin who will happen to be in town that weekend, hence why my dad wanted to add them.

I was annoyed and didn't want to, but I was tired of dealing with it (he has tired this several times so far), so I said it was fine. Then I talked to my mom the next day, and she said she had talked to him and they decided it was ok not to invite them. Well now my dad just texted me with their address and all their information, and I don't know what to do.

On the one hand, I am just annoyed. As an example, my dad wanted to invite his whole office (about 15 extra people), but I said no because FI and I are paying for everything and that was a lot of extra money. I agreed to let him invite his boss. Well, the boss got the invitation and had no idea whatsoever who I was (so why did I bother inviting him??), so he brought it into the office and asked everyone if they knew who it was. My dad then tried to tell me that he had to invite everyone now. My last name is Smith, so I am afraid even this cousin won't know who I am since he is random and I've never met him.

On the other hand, it is only 2 extra people, and I did say yes when he originally asked me. Given just that, I would just say it's not worth the fight and go ahead and invite them. But that was 4 days ago when they would have a week and a half to RSVP. Now the invitation will get there Monday at the earliest, and our RSVP date is Friday, so it's CLEARLY much later than everyone else's, and probably even seems like a B list situation.

Sorry, long post but short question: Would you invite them? Thanks for any advice (and for reading that whole thing...)!
