So initially when we created our guest list, it was MONTHS ago. My fiance gave me two of his coworkers he thought he wanted to invite. Not super close but he threw them on the list.
Biggest mistake: I put them on the Facebook wedding page we have which is private for attendees.
Fast forward to now. We have a SMALL hall with a tight amount of space and a limited headcount. We are at capacity.
So his two aunts and cousins who were not coming, are now coming and booked flights. They were adament about not being able to come.
So now we are in a dilemma.
So last night at one of his work mixers, one of the co-workers says she booked her hotel. (FYI fully refundable up until 2 days before). When we were initially inviting her, we stated HOW TIGHT it was and since she was not in any relationship unfortunately she could not bring someone. So last night she randomly says: "I don't want to be in the big room alone so I am bringing so and so to your wedding. So and So is some random chick that fiance works with and he doesn't even like this woman. I was taken aback.
So now today - aunts call and state they are coming so honestly we have to make some cuts. We did not expect to make cuts but honestly family is more of a priority than a couple of his co-workers. But - is this the ultimate taboo?? To tell a guest that they are unfortunately uninvited because we are at capacity???
He plans on doing it but I didn't know what the etiquette is on this?? I mean I know it's BAD etiquette but I am going to bridal hell for this???
