Oh, bother.

I hope your tactic works. In our case, my back-east family decided it was a good time for a reunion in CA, and all of my in-laws' friends decided they hadn't all gotten together in a while.

I stick to my advice - if you don't want them there, just don't invite them, and say you're keeping the wedding small.
