Dear Invitation RSVP,

I completely understand what you are going through. The worst thing is that it will probably happen again. Some people do not understand that the names on the envelope are the only ones invited. Sorry.

Usually, we just bite our lips and set more places at the tables. But, perhaps because these people are family of your future in-laws, perhaps you can ask them to deal with it. This is probably a very good thing to do now, because their side may have a number of 'add-ons.'

Good luck!

Trust Me I know what your going through. I got married about a year ago and it is difficult to get things in order when people are being difficult and well selfish. I think you should except the r.s.v.p as four and remember this is your wedding. No one can ruin this for you. If they are being difficult inform them of that one simple fact. Have a good wedding and a happily ever after. And just remember to breath, things will go amazing in the end

*sigh* I as well know! My bridesmaid's were a quartet until one invited her sister, whom I'd never met. People aren't purposfully trying to hurt you, thye just don't understand that you really have agonized over every single deatial and that they have to respect what you say. You should probably let this one slide, as they are the parents of you fiance. There isn't anything you can do that wouldn't be really awkward and offputting to your future husband and family.
