We were planning to invite the wedding party and parents of bride and groom to a rehearsal dinner The brides family told us who else was coming We can't have them all?

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.
