[quote=Anonymous]So, my in-laws did this to us.  Honestly, I wasn't that bothered by the initial faux pas--like you, I think they were just excited and got a little exhuberant--but it did create a problem for us because we were running pretty close to the capacity for the venue.  Anyhow, what they did next, which I definitely recommend you do NOT do, is to to decide how to handle it without consulting us.  Before we could advise them how to proceed, they went back and told these people that they were actually not invited.  If we had been asked, though, we would have much rather stretched the venue limits than have these family friends think they were unwelcome.

So, my advice, as a bride who has been there, is to apologize profusely to your son and his fiancee and ask them how they would like to handle it but put ZERO pressure on them and do whatever they ask you to do without a smile on your face and without pushing back at all.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a great relationship with my in-laws and they are lovely people.  You goofed, but this is completely fixable.[/quote]
