Answer

Direct answer

Explain the actual guest allocation early and apply it consistently, without presenting one family as responsible for excluding others.

Name invitees clearly and give a private contact for genuine questions. Coordinate exceptions through one organiser so relatives do not promise extra places independently. Venue capacity and supplier commitments are practical constraints, not reasons to rank people publicly. A respectful limit gives guests enough information to decide whether they can attend without being embarrassed at the door.
