Careful what you wish for, Dinah. I'm one of those people. Problem is, people accept my invitation. (Can you imagine? ;) ) And then, I end up with 20+ adults at my house as I'm wondering what cheerful ailen had invaded my body a mere two weeks ago when I invited everyone. ;)
Seriously, though, I know what you mean about the guests you don't invite yourself. My sister tends to unexpectedly bring her kids' friends to my house each year. (Not so unexpected anymore, at least.) But the one that's killing me this year is my mom's invitation to her "boyfriend" or whatever it is she's calling him. He's okay, but I anticipate some awkwardness. It'll be the first holiday where he's around.
I hope you're able to relax some and enjoy the day, (((Dinah))). You surely deserve it.
