[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. Can I offer to pay for a few extra couples? [/quote]

NO. It's not your party. What part of this do you not understand?[/quote]

I hear you. Thank you. I do understand. I just don't know how I'm going to uninvite lifelong friends. I know I made a mistake. I don't know how I choose the couples to uninvite. We're a circle and word will get out. I do know this is my fault.[/quote]

I didn't read all 7 pages of this, but OP, you need to start reframing what you did in your own mind so that you can offer the "correct" apology to your lifelong friends. Since it is not YOUR wedding/party/reception, you did NOT invite them in the first place! So you are not UNinviting them.
What you did was make the mistake of issuing an invitation to someone else's event. BIG OOPS! But also, if you are one big circle of 7 friends without any clear distinction of which 2 you would "leave out" then this was always going to be an issue--even if you hadn't already blasted out the info to all of them. So, just try to be as graceful as you can.

You just tell each friend: "Well I'm so embarrassed, but  in my excitement about the engagement, I got a bit carried away and told you all to save the date as though it were my own wedding and guest list. But obviously, as this is Larla and Larlo's wedding, the guest list will be up to the bride and groom. As always, I'm so grateful to have each of you in my life and thank you for sharing in our happiness!"[/quote]
