How to NOT invite a family member?

Kind of a strange topic, but I have a cousin (my mother's first cousin) who I haven't talked to in years. My mother is adamant that she and her two children be invited to my wedding but I am dead against it.

When I was growing up, this woman was nothing but a class A bi*** to everyone, including my mom. And her children were absolute brats. They were petty and obnoxious as a family and I choose not to associate with them (no declaration, I just don't go visit or relish attending any family functions they go to).

I feel like it's my wedding day and I should be sharing it with the people I love and not having to play polite to someone I've never liked.

Am I crazy for thinking we could just tell her it's an intimate wedding with a very small guest list to keep her away?

Any suggestions?

    Congrats
    I also graduated in December 2018 and my wedding is in the summer of 2019. Their, people, I love to invite just some people I might not invite for drama. Just send as a private wedding invite on Facebook or special password to use.
