Q & A: Including Some Kids, While Excluding Others

I recently came across a bride wishing to have only a select number of close children at her wedding, but she wasn't sure how to tactfully exclude others.

I think a great way to handle this situation would be to give the children you hold close to you a role in your wedding (if possible) perhaps as junior bridesmaids, pages, etc ... With this you accomplish two things at once ... you've found a way to not only have them there, but also have a special job on your special day and you can follow up with other guest, via telephone after invitations have gone out, letting them know space/budget constraints only allow for children in the wedding party.
