I'm somewhat new to the boards but I have a question regarding unwanted guests. We wanted a very small wedding in Vegas with just immediate family and aunts and uncles. We both have large families and decided against cousins because there were too many. Most of them are grown and out of the house with their own families. I sent out the STD's and addressed them properly as to who was invited, basically Mr & Mrs Smith Jones. When I went home they all assumed they were invited and some of my aunt and uncles had already booked hotel rooms for them. One of my cousins who thought he was invited with his girlfiend of two months actually invitied her sister along as well. Total there were about 20 people extra people coming. When I told them we were on a strict budget and could only handle so many guests they got mad. I'm not really sure how to handle this problem. Any thoughts?
