beware vent re: guestlist

My gram called my mom from florida to say that her brother will be bringing his wife AND his daughter (who is 30). We didnt invite my dads cousins on purpose because 1) both my dad and I arent close to them 2) we werent invited to any of their weddings 3) this cousin is a NUT

She came to visit like 8 years ago and was crazy. (Im talking a FREAK, making out with strangers, getting wasted, etc.) She is the last person that I want there.
We didnt invite certain friends of ours in attempt to keep our list under control and now my gram is allowing this kook of a cousin to come. Im thinking 'hey gram since when are you throwing this wedding?' She told my mom I told them ok and i didnt think you guys would mind

SOOO do I call gram and say 'I know she is your niece but she *****' or 'we really dont have room/$$ to accomodate more guests' or what?????

Id tell them that you dont have anymore room and youre sorry. If you dont want her there, let them know now. Its completely understandable why you wouldnt want her there too. Good luck!

Being it's almost pretty close to your date (Congrats!!!), you could try and tell her you don't have the room to be inviting anymore guest.

I agree-say no more room-it's your day!!

Agree on using the space excuse. Don't bring up her behavior. That will open a can of worms.

I wouldn't use any excuse--you didn't want to invite them, they are not invited. When you bring $ or excuses into it, people try to wiggle around it or accuse you of being cheap. I would just say, 'Sorry, they're not invited.'

End of story.
