^ ^ Exactly. One time at band camp . . .
The rule is that immediate family members in the same household aren't counted. That would generally mean (with some possible exceptions)
spouse and
children, as well as nannies and nurses.
Parents? Doubt it, unless the OP still lives with them at home.
Aunt and Uncle? Nope.
Sounds like the OP will need to choose between either the parents (total of two guests) or the aunt and uncle (which would be another two guests).
