What is a polite way of telling guests they can't just invite extra people?

We're having a problem with a lot of our guests. Unfortunately, me and FH are young (22-23) and a lot of our friends haven't been to a wedding before and don't know proper etiquette.

We're having a problem with a lot of our guests. Unfortunately, me and FH are young (22-23) and a lot of our friends haven't been to a wedding before and don't know proper etiquette. We have had a couple friends (that we weren't that close with and weren't planning on inviting) post their address to our facebook wall saying "Here's my address! I know you're sending out STDs! So excited to get mine!" Etc. Now, someone who we haven't heard from in over a year (not a peep when me and FH got engaged OR had a baby) is upset that he didn't get an invite and asked someone else that was invited to the wedding if he could be their plus 1. Ugh! I really don't feel like hurting peoples feelings... but I don't want to keep paying for extra people. We got another message today that a groomsman wants to bring a date to the wedding but he doesn't know who yet (cause he isn't with anyone). Is it bad that we're only allowing couples that have been together for at least a couple months? Any advice? Smiley sad

    Due to a small & intimate wedding, at this time, we cannot allow "friends" as extra guests; however, a significant other or married couples are welcomed. We appreciate your understanding and we will be sure to seat you with people you know and love. Excited to celebrate our love with our closest friends and family.
