First I had our uncle's trying to invite 2 more people where it was suppose to be only 1.

Now I got my other uncle saying we may have unexpected guests (referring to my cousin, his wife and two kids).

The part that upsets me is originally my cousin and his wife were invited (2 seats only-were inviting adults only) and we were told because they live in PA (we live in Hawaii) they would not be able to come due to they couldn't afford to come back (they use to live in Hawaii as well).

They were sent an invitation early and they have not responded to our rsvp/text or calls. So we just went with my uncles word that they would not be attending.

Now the uncle that said they wouldn't be coming is saying.."We may have some expected guests from PA. Would they be able to come to the wedding?"

WTH....I responded with

We had something similar but not quite. DH's aunt originally responded (after she had to be chased down) that she and her new beau would not be coming due to being out of town. Two days after I submitted my final count to our venue she calls my MIL and says plans changed and asked if they could still attend. My venue said it was no big deal adding two more adults to the final count. Yes it was annoying and yes I had every right to tell her no. But on the other hand, she was invited and I felt it was a good faith gesture to allow them to attend. PA to Hawaii is a long way to travel. I would meet them halfway and give the ok for the adults to attend. Since you had to give your venue final count early enough I doubt it will be a problem adding two more to it. And its possible you could have someone not able to come last minute due to an emergency.

Your at your max budget head count wise? That leads me to think you didn't get a single "no"?
