Help!!!

I just about fell out laughing when you said "the world " 🌎
Well... have they rsvp' d yet if not kindly ask your parents to explain they went a Lil overboard and they will not be able to attend.
Or ask your parents are they going to cover the cost of the extra guest count? I'm sorry you have to make a decision like this. I hope you all figure it out. My parents are in heaven, so enjoy them and the world on your most special day.💜💜💜

Parents are going to have to fix the mess they created by contacting everyone to say they were mistakenly invited, or parents can cover the costs of a larger venue and the difference of extra catering. You and fiancé don’t say anything to guests, but learn how to be firm with setting and maintaining boundaries now and in the future.

They have created a mess.

Isn't there a final guest list? Aren't there some pretty solid reception room capacities? It seems like a security person is needed to turn people away who aren't official guests. This also is unfair to your fiance who had to make choices of guests too. But if your parents covered the costs, maybe it could work out. I hope it resolves well.

View Quoted Comment I’m so sorry to hear about your parents. Thank you so much for your words. I’m telling you. About 300 people and yet the hall holds 250. So right now we are praying that we can have 300 and cancel the rest. I’m freaking out. How to cancel people

View Quoted Comment We are covering the cost. But it’s the space and it’s too late to find a new place. But thank you. My fiancé was there and accepted it too but it’s just so crazy that this is happening. I need a bouncer or two. Know anyone

View Quoted Comment Thank you you are right. Boundaries is needed but it’s also cultural. It’s unbelievable really. I need some bouncers do you know of any

No I don't know anyone to recommend as a bouncer or security. I did figure this was cultural. Some places it seems that the whole town is invited in the celebration. Maybe there is some restaurant or park the uninvited guests can be sent to. If the parents were going to do this, they needed to be involved in a bigger way in the plans. But I don't know what can help here.

Personally I would suggest having a sit down discussion with your parents and lay out the specs for them. “This is the venue, this is max capacity it holds, we already signed the contract and put down the deposits, these are our non-negotiable people we are inviting because they are externally important to us and this is our wedding. I know this is going to upset you, but you need to now pick and choose who is not going to attend and let them know.” Possibly offer some middle ground of a party the next day in your parents’ back yard like a bbq or a few days before the wedding to still include the people to some degree.

This will definitely need sorted out, as too many guests would likely break fire codes at the venue and could possibly get the entire event shut down. Also, were these guests officially invited via invitation, or was it brought up in conversation? Most people would know not to show up to a wedding if they didn’t receive an actual invitation addressed to them. Sit down with your parents, calmly explain the risks involved with inviting too many people, find out exactly how they were invited, and go from there!

I'd be worried about getting shut down because of overcrowding your event. You don't want to get kicked out of your own wedding! There's no polite way to uninvite people, unfortunately. Did written invitations go out to all of these people?
