What you can edit
Household name - The display name for this household. You can type anything or use the Replace with dropdown for quick suggestions like family name formats.
Address - The full mailing address. This is a text area so you can enter multiple lines.
Country - Select from the dropdown. If you've set a default country in settings, new households will pre-select that country.
Gift received - Check this box when you've received a gift from this household. Useful for tracking thank you cards.
RSVP for additional children - Enable this to allow guests from this household to add their children when they RSVP. The description says "Allow guests from this household to add their children when they RSVP on your website."
If children are enabled globally in your RSVP settings, you'll see a note: "All guests are allowed to add children. You can change this setting in RSVP settings."
Viewing guests in this household
The form also shows a Guests in this household section listing everyone who belongs to this household. You can click Add guests to add more people.
Tips
Keep addresses up to date. If a guest moves, update the household address so your mailings go to the right place.
Use the children toggle wisely. You can control this per household, which is great if some families have kids and others don't.
