Why have family parties ruined by this? Simply designate yourself the greeter of the family when they show up and politely ask how they are related. If they can't come up with any names of people they are related to, just kindly ask them to leave! They are crashing the party. They're the ones being rude. WTF

Even if they can come up with some name, like Uncle Bob or whatever, OP can always say something like "I am so sorry you didn't respond to our invite. We didn't make enough food to go around." Then look at their stomach and say "I'm sure you understand!"

By all logical accounts, someone should ask them to leave but we're Midwestern so instead everyone stares at them while they gorge themselves and then we talk shit about them in a way that makes it sound like we're not talking shit.

I texted some family and I guess lard dad is my great aunt's second cousin once removed. Apparently today at the food table he was loudly commenting to his lardy spawn about how he is indeed related to us. He missed the memo that if you have to explain how you are related then you are not related enough to show up.
