This is so obvious, it's scary. Budget woes? Cut the guest list. Get rid of "+1's" that you won't even recognize next year (and neither will the guest that invited them...). Make it an adult affair and don't invite children (most parents will relish a night out). Cousins, aunts and other relatives you hardly ever see or speak to? They'll be as happy not to come as you are not to invite them.
Think of it this way; if you would gladly invite that person (and their guest) out to a luxurious dinner and pick up the tab, then go for it. If not?
You know the answer.
And don't feel that you have to explain this to anyone. It's your party and you invite who you want to!
