Oh yes, and it wouldn't be a chinese banquet without the "in case you didn't eat enough" fried rice and bland noodles filler at the end

If it's my own money, you better be RSVP'ing. If you show up unannounced, you can stand and watch others eat.
Also, my parents will NOT be inviting people I do not know or have never met. The biggest problem with asian wedding is the invites to strangers. F the strangers. My wedding. My rules.

This is the appropriate response. I would also add that your Mom, or whoever might end up dealing with these guests, could also invite them back to the party after they've "had a nice meal at ____________ (insert the name of a nice place to eat that fairly close)" and that their presence would be appreciated for the festivities later.

To make matters possibly worse, I know of someone who was in the exact same position as the OP's mother, and not only did some people show up who did not have the decency to reply, but they also brought kids who also had to be fed. I hope that doesn't happen here. Jerks.

If it was a guy doing it, he was just including you in the age-old masculine game of affectionate mockery. The correct response is to smile sweetly and knee him in the berries, thus showing that you understand the game he is playing, and taking the competition to the next level.

Best weddings are military weddings, usually the meal is a 5 course monster with tons of liquor and a no leaving the table rule. Lots of good speeches, then a drunken brawl at the end.

I went to a wedding of a mountie and we had the reception in their headquarters, or whatever they call it, I am not up on the terminology. It was awesome because everywhere you went, you got a police escort. If you left the reception room, you had a police escort. If you went into the elevator, they would walk you out and to the door. I loved every second of it. Love those Mounties, man.
Anyways, thanks for all the responses. I think now that the wedding is much closer, my mom is getting more into the "It's my day so screw everyone else" mode. She doesn't appear to be worrying to much about it anymore. My brothers and I am looking forward to being bouncers for the night though.
