Late RSVP, added on their kids.

No, I wouldn't just deal with it. You do need to contact them again and tell them that unfortunately, their children can not attend. Since it's past the deadline, you could also contact them and say that you've already provided your venue with final numbers and unfortunately they (the couple) can not attend. Good luck!

I think you have to stick with it being no kids! Otherwise other guests, who even RSVPed on time, are going to be pretty annoyed after not bringing their kids!

Yes you contact them and tell them that!! They are the ones that are rude for adding their kids. Just call them and say im sorry we can't accommodate the kids. Can you add the couple to your count?

Def would not just deal with it. It's one thing for a guest to call and clarify "Hey, are kids invited or no?" And another for them to just write them in. Reach out until they respond letting them know kids aren't welcome.

I don't have any advice, but can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

But I all seriousness, that is so rude. The only thing I could think to say is "what part of no kids and rsvp by X date do you people not understand?" I am so sorry you are having to deal with this.

If you feel like giving them a break, you can add them to the count. But I'd put my foot down - firmly - in telling them that their children are not invited and cannot come.

Now, with that in mind, you're the only one who can say whether they'll get their noses out of joint and just not come.

Agreed and came to post the same thing as @Zaz.

Definitely give them a call and tell them it's a no-kids wedding. Hopefully they'll understand.

I agree with PP, they responded past the deadline AND invited 3 extra mouths that may require special meals (you didn't indicate age).

If they are super important to you then maybe give them a break but if they aren't VIPs, I would give them a call and let them know that you're sorry but the final headcount has already been given to the venue before you received their RSVP.

You already gave your final headcount, so I think you should reach out and tell them that. If they're truly important to you, then decide if you'll let them attend but no kids

They’ve got a lot of nerve to rsvp late and add on their uninvited kids. No way OP, don’t allow this one.

The other guests who didnt bring their kids will be wondering why this couple got to. You definitely need to tell them their kids can't come

You reached out to them after the deadline and now they want to RSVP?

If you feel like being nice, you can contact your venue to ask if you can add TWO more people (not their kids)

If not, I would call them and explain that you had reached out to them after the deadline and have already given your headcount and you'll miss them.

Contact them and if they don't answer leave a message. Send emails. Do something to ensure they get the message

Yes! Reach out to them again and agin until you get them and let them know bluntly Your day Your Way! No Kids

Call them and tell them final numbers were already sent in after receiving no response from the previous follow up

Girl- you stand firm! I'm in the same boat.

Nope, I would call and tell them that you had to give the final count so I won't be able to accommodate you or your children but we will miss you dearly.

If you are not having children at your wedding I agree with PP who have said to reach out to them. They may not end up coming anyway. It was very rude to not RSVP, not respond when you attempted to contact and then RSVP late with uninvited additions. Let us know how it goes.

I completely understand. My FH and I are doing only kids that are a part of the wedding (Flower girl, jr. bridesmaid & jr. groomsman), but are not inviting any other kids because it's almost $57 per person and if you account all the kids of all the guests, that's almost $1000! I would definitely contact the couple and just inform them that kids of all guests are not invited due to your budget. They should understand that.
