Plus 1 RSVP's

Is there a non-rude way to put on the invites that Plus 1's are not ok....we are on a very tight budget and can't afford to feed all of the people that we would like to have invited, but are not able to.  So the fear I have now is when I send the invites to my family that the older children will want to bring a guest or anybody really that wants to bring a guest....how can I stop it?

Also, my grandma is telling me I have to invite her friend couple...I dont like them and my dad doesn't like them either...WHAT DO I DO?

    Invite your guests specifically by name.  Don't include anything ambiguous like 'and family' or 'and guest'.  If you want to go a step further, write out the response cards so that those invited just check __accepts or __declines next to the name you filled in.

    When it comes to Grandma, unless she's paying, say, "Unfortunately that isn't in the budget." and don't bring it up again.

    One word of advice though: If you exclude the SOs of your guests then when you are doing is quite rude.  So while you don't have to offer the option to your guests of bringing random dates, you DO need to invite couples as a social unit.
