You bring the main people that are involved in the wedding that's it ...
Any additional guests are NOT your responsibility . Other people have no business inviting extra people. If they insist, then they can pay for the dinners of the extra guests, or if it is at your home, just say no. Your plans are alredy made with no provision for extra guests.

If it is agreed that alcohol be served at the reception, it goes on the bride's parents' tab!Parents of the BrideThe bride's parents may be responsible for hosting the wedding, if they will be completely financially responsible for the event. In some cases, the father of the bride escorts his daughter down the aisle alone, but in other instances or in religious ceremonies, both parents may accompany the bride. In all cases, it's her preference. The mother of the bride may help fund or contribute to the planning of the bridal shower if the Maid of Honor needs assistance. These parents may also foot the cost of an engagement party or dinner to meet the groom's family.The old tradition is that the Groom's parents should pay for the alcohol. Since there are always those few that make pigs of themselves when the alcohol is free it's acceptable to give tickets to the bar for two free drinks (legal for driving after a meal of course.) Some father's pay the whole bar bill, but it can be expensive. Since there are so many divorced parents now and one may be a single parents the above suggestions are right on.The rehearsal dinnerIt is perfectly acceptable and tradition for the the parents of the groom, (or groom), to also be financially responsible for the-marriage license-Brides bouquet-Transportation of Bride and Groom after reception (get-away car; limo)-Transportation of Groomsmen to ceremony-Grooms/Groomsmen formal wear-Boutonnieres for groom/groomsmen-Corsages for bride and brides family-The bar tab at the reception.Additionally, it's perfectly acceptable for the grooms parents and/or the brides parents not to pay any of the associated costs of the wedding if the couple to be are being disrespectful little pigs.Traditionally, the bride's parents paid for the ceremony and reception, the bride's attire, and her dowry. The groom's parents paid for the rehearsal dinner and the officiant, and sometimes the alcohol. The groom paid for the honeymoon and the rings.For the most part, these traditions went out the window when women stopped being property of her father and then husband, and when the couple stopped getting married right out of their parents' homes. Today, anything goes. Typically, the couple pays for a large portion, and sometimes the parents gift whatever they can afford to help out, sometimes in exchange for control over some portion of the planning. No one has any duties or responsibilities other than the couple.
