How do I add children to my guest list?

Add children to your guest list and categorize them by age for meal planning and seating arrangements.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: Add children as guests and set their age category (child, infant, etc.) in their guest details.

Adding a child guest

  1. Go to Guests in your dashboard
  2. Click Add guest
  3. Enter the child's name
  4. Add them to their family's household
  5. Set their age category (child, infant, teen, etc.)
  6. Click Save

Setting age categories

Age categories help you:
- Track how many children vs adults are attending
- Plan seating (high chairs, kids' table)
- Coordinate with caterers on meal portions
- Create age-appropriate activities

Age category options

Depending on your setup, you may have:
- Adult - Default category
- Teen - Teenagers
- Child - Young children
- Infant - Babies who don't need a seat

Including children in households

Children should be added to their parents' household so:
- The family receives one invitation
- Parents can RSVP for their children
- Seating can keep families together

Tips

  • Caterers often need child counts for meal pricing
  • Decide early if your wedding is adults-only or family-friendly
  • You can filter guests by age category to see counts
  • Consider children when planning your timeline (earlier dinner, etc.)
  • Some couples create a separate "children's menu" option
