Plus one and kids - limited seats close to max already!

I agree 100%. Which is why "we're only inviting wedding party children" makes no sense.

2-20 guests is a minimony. 150 is large and currently many venues do not allow that number.

Oof. The only acceptable way to invite some kids and not others IMO is when you only include the kids who are actually in the wedding party like flower girls and ring bearers. So that would be my suggestion. As for plus ones, significant others definitely need to be invited because otherwise that's pretty rude, but you certainly don't need to do plus ones if you don't want to

If a couple are considered boyfriend girlfriend, an established couple, they are invited as a couple or not at all. So yes, you may have to knock a few people you want off the list, to accommodate girlfriends and boyfriends, or have people legitimately angry with you, who will decline because of it.

You don't. Just invite BY NAME all the people invited on the invitation. If anyone RSVP's for more than invited, just respond to them with something like "We got your RSVP back and the invitation was actually just for you and XX - we hope you can still make it!" It's not that big of a deal.

Do people really get butt hurt when their kids aren’t invited?! Serious question. I have a very large family and kids are never at weddings unless it’s the flower girl or ring barer. My cousins LOVE having a night off from the kids and keeping them home with a babysitter.

Some do, some don't. It's a know your crowd thing. Most people who don't get upset that kids are not invited and look forward to an adult night out, still question why there is a flowergirl or ringbearer in attendance when they don't serve an actual purpose.

View Quoted Comment I love and evening with no kids, but I’ve also never heard of anyone questioning when the kids are in the wedding.
