People assuming they're invited WHEN THEY'RE NOT! HELP!

Backstory: My parents have a friend group of about 5 couples. We are inviting 3 out of 5 couples to my wedding because we are very restricted on the number of guests we can invite. Save the dates have gone out, the wedding is in August. And today I received this text from one of the invited couples:...

"Hey! Lisa was at our house yesterday and she saw your save the date card and said she did not get one... Not sure if it got list in the mail but I know that they are planning to come to the wedding because I booked rooms for both of us at the venue for your wedding weekend"

(FYI we are having a weekend long camping wedding)

LISA AND HER FAMILY ARE NOT INVITED. My fiancé specifically asked that we did not invite them because they have never been friendly with them.

What the heck do I do? What do I respond to that text? I don't want to make any one mad, but am I crazy to think it is incredibly rude for the text-er to even ask???

Thanks for your advice!

    The one "payin" gets the "sayin"! PERIOD!

    No one wants to pay dinner and drinks for a room full of STRANGERS...so try and do 33% cross the board. The parents who pay get a 1/3 and BG get 2/3

    My 92 yo Grandma is the ONLY person that has even offered to help me with my Wedding expenses. As such, I HAD to take the names of those that she wanted to invite.

    However, once she reached 10 people l advised that she had hit her limit.

    Problem solved.
