2 of our guy friends were invited to our wedding with their wives...Their wives can't come so the guys want to bring 2 of their other friends that FH and I aren't friends with...How do we go about telling them that if their wive can't come, they can't bring these other 2 guys with them?? I think it is so rude of them to do this and now FH and I are put into a tough situation.
How do you tell them? Very simply, I'm sorry, but our wedding is for family and friends to celebrate our day. We are so sorry your wives cannot attend, but thank you for letting us know, so that X person can now be included, and no, you cannot bring another person in your wife's place.

Re: Need major advice!!!!!!!
Don't feel bad, FH's father sent his invitation back saying that he and his wife were bringing 2 people who were not invited. They never even asked us if it was okay. We called them because we had not gotten the response back and they said 'oh yeah we will send it out today, and by the way we are bringing so and so and so and so.' I was totally floored. How rude can you be? How do you know that we arent so tight on budget that we cannot afford 2 other people? Or that we were way over budget. I think they think this is some trashy wedding or something, but its not. People just dont know what they are doing if they have never planned a big wedding. I was surprised that his step mom thought this was ok though.

I agree tell them there is someone else YOU want to invite if their wives can't go. If someone cant make and you do want to fill that spot you should invite someone that may have been cut off YOUR inital list of invites!
