OK, yeah....7 months? I was picturing a lifelong-since-childhood best friend. If she's truly your best friend (and not just wanting the attention of playing a central role in a wedding party) she'll understand when you tell her "immediate family only." There's really nothing for her to DO, since you're not having the big wedding with the bridesmaids and the formal dinner with a toast and all. So just tell her that you reacted prematurely to her enthusiasm, and you're grateful for her desire to be supportive, but this is what you and your fiance agreed upon, and it really wouldn't be appropriate for her to participate.
