Well op , actually you are the dick here , but you have a Simple but common misconception in your head . My customers are just like you . You guys seem to forget how many people there are like you . I got over 500 customers , and every single one of them seems to think he is my only customer . All of them want 100 % attention and always when they want something that seems to be a small Job for me i remember them that it is indeed a small Job and no Problem to do for a single person . but its not a single person , its 500 . Ofc it is not a problem to tell a single person why you did not Invite them , but you don ' t decline one Person , you decline sometimes 2030 or depending on what you want to do 50 . Do YOU want to whisper 50 people with a personal reasoning why you did not Invite them ?
