How to stop a potential faux paux??

Wedding is next month...we are getting married here in town instead of my home to avoid uninvited people taggin along with our guests. But word has it that some of our guests think that it is acceptable to bring some stowaways! *SMH*

I do not understand for the life of me why people think this is acceptable!!!? I mean really the invite is addressed to those invited...not others who you feel should come along! Back in NM where we were thinking of having said wedding, we would've had TONS of food. So if people tagged along it wouldn't have done much damage. But here in AZ we are paying food per head...the caterer will make enough food for guests to have seconds. But no where near enough to serve more than our guest count!

I've already had a talk with other family who thought they could bring other people and told them no! And if they heard of anyone else wanting to do this that they shouldn't!

My RSVP date isn't until the 4th of April...but it looks like we will be calling around to clarify this! Its just bruns my buns to think that people actually think it is acceptable to crash a party!

What else can I do? Anybody else experience this kind of situation?
