HOT TOPIC
My fiancé and I decided to put an age limit of 16 years old on children invited to our wedding. How do we handle families that have kids below that age? @EileenRob Invite by circles. [For instance] first cousins and their significant others, yes. The children of first cousins, regardless of age, no. An age like 16 is too arbitrary.

@SaintPaulGal Don’t split up the families. People are going to be hurt and/or offended if they’re left out based on an arbitrary cutoff while their family is included. My advice: Invite the people you actually want at your wedding, and don’t include the rest.
@Ironring Just don’t invite any kids, regardless of age. This will free up budget/space for people you actually want there.
GUEST LIST MANAGER Organizing your lineup of family and friends is easier than ever. The Knot Guest List Manager (TheKnot.com/guestlistmanager) allows you to upload contacts from your phone, a spreadsheet or even your Gmail account. You can also export the RSVPs complete with preferences (like chicken or fish) to send to vendors, and even use it to manage thank-you notes.
