There is no easy way to tell your friend that they are not invited. The truth is always the best policy.
But as I am unaware of the situation, it makes it difficult as to how to word it. If you are able to be straightforward and truthful and say that you made a mistake without it causing a blowup, that would be what I would recommend

Just mention to your friend that you tried to add them to the list but the guestlist had already been submitted to the vendors and can't be changed now, and apologise. You should ask before inviting someone to an event that you aren't hosting.

Mmmmmm yes, this is tricky. When we talk to couples, and it comes to the invitation list, we really go back to why you are getting married in the first place. If one of your key reasons is to celebrate with those far and wide - then, you need to match the budget with that wish. If you really want that budget to go towards your house deposit - then create a secondary list and invite everyone to a fabulous pub or bar to join for a celebratory drink as you are having a small family wedding!
