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
Go to Guests in your dashboard
Click Add guest
Enter the child's name
Add them to their family's household
Set their age category (child, infant, etc.)
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
- 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
