How do you deal with people who invite themselves to your wedding?

I have so many people make the comment, I cant wait to your wedding, I just pretend I didn't listen, or just nervously laugh, I had my engagement party and invited everyone that was invited to my wedding, the party was about 100 people, I expect to have maybe 30 people come to my wedding, 40 if I am lucky.

Im having the same problem, but with people from work!! I've only been there for 3 months and they are all asking me if they are invited and how nice it will be to have a 'company' trip to my wedding...i dont know what to say but they are not invited basically.... Any help? I usually smile and change conversations... Arghhh

I would just say that you and your fiancé are having a very small and intimate wedding with family and close friends.

Yeah, I'm going to start saying that next time someone asks me... I just think it's a bit rude to say stuff like that.. specially people from work I don't know very well....

Ya I'm having this problem as well - FI has a huge family, half of them I've nerve even met aND now we'really feeling obligated to invite everyone

Also having that problem.... my Fiancé has a big family, that all seem to get along, and live in Jamaica.... we have ended up caving into pressure and invited them.... his parents wanted invite more people, we just had to say no, and politely explain we don't want a massive wedding.

My FMIL thinks it's her wedding....she's told us she needs some STD'S to send to her friends. ..EXCUSE ME??. I'm barely paying for the people I want there. What makes her think I wanna pay for her people?
