The manual says that your defense is a party, you are a specialist now who is showing off to the committee. No reason to exclude anyone, just go and enjoy it. You can do it and everyone you love should be part of it.

Guessing they are no experts in your field, maybe not even scientists. Reply to a question that it is very interesting and that the earth is flat: they will still think you are super smart. Just prepare to respond in a good way while avoiding to respond and nobody notices.
