Easily, and I have on numerous occasions, starting with my wedding
reception.

It's very simple to state that So-And-So is persona non grata and then
enforce that at the door. It's my house, my party, my rules. I don't care if
one or two family members find my directness difficult to understand and
exclusive in a mean way. I am not going to allow anyone free rein over me.
