So this weekend, with all the last minute additions that people decided to make, we now need NINETEEN tables instead of 18, which is what we finally agreed upon. We purchased linens for 18 tables, CPs for 18 tables, favors for 180 people, menus for 180 people, napkins for 180 people. We're completely, totally and utterly fcuked now.
My stupid FH decided that he wanted to invite 6 extra co-workers!! SIX! Meanwhile, I had these invites printed for them months ago and he said he didn't want to invite them anymore.
Then this stupid girl who I'm not even really fcuking friends with decided to bring her d-bag boyfriend. I invited both of them to begin with but she insisted again and again that she was coming alone. What kills me is she told my FSIL this and not me or FH even though we BOTH saw her this Sunday!!! Didn't even mention it? Maybe because she knew it was wrong but went ahead and did it anyway.
Then my co-worker who I sit right the FCUK NEXT TO and have been asking since the day the invites went out if she was coming or not and if she was bringing her kids. She wouldn't give me a straight answer all these months and kept saying put me down for 2. Now I call to confirm one last time and she says let me call my husband and find out. She calls me back and tells me, no, put me down for 5 after all. Are these people fcuking with me?! I wish people would just drop out now!! PLEASE! Do me a favor!!
I'm literally sitting at my desk crying my eyes out. I'm PMSing so badly, I'm stressed, I hurt my shoulder so I can hardly even move it, and now I'm fcuked on top of it all! What do I do? Do I tell her no? Do I add an extra table and try to scramble to get the linens and CPs? I didn't want 19 tables because I feel like it'll be cramped!! But I also don't want more than 10 people at each table! What would you ladies do?
ETA: You deserve an effing medal if you read all that!

First off, breathe.
You can always add to a package, but it's hard to take away from it. So adding extra linens and such is something you CAN do.
Now...I personally wouldn't let that woman from work get away with it. I would just say 'Space is limited. You told me all along that you would need two seats and that's what was reserved for you. If you cannot attend without your children, then I'm sorry that you'll miss out on our big day' and leave it at that.
I want to, but she's also the type of person who will take that very personally and it'll probably ruin our friendship here at work. I have a major fear that she's also going to reserve 5 seats and then just not show up at ALL on the wedding day at which point I'd probably go to jail because I'd murder her.
Jill...you're pretty much one of the nicest people on this board, so I'm sure that IRL you're a sweetheart.
While you think that saying something like that to her will ruin your friendship...think of how she's treating YOU in this scenario. IMO, that's not how a friend is supposed to treat another friend. If she cared that much about you and your day, she would've had a solid answer for you weeks ago.
Awww thank you!! You should see me IRL, I'm a raging biatch. Haha! I'm going to wait until I head upstairs to see my co-worker and then discuss with her face to face. If she gets mad, so be it! I don't know what else I can do at this point. I could probably work some magic on FH's stupid co-workers. He deserves the seats more than this chick's kids do!
ETA: Thank you so much ladies!!!

Jill, just tell her that you already put the final number in and you can't change it now BECAUSE you would have to add another table and you can't get more table linens or something, just make it like it's out of your hands and you're sorry you didn't know this sooner when there was something more you could do.
I want to punch like 40 people for you.
