no kids guest list

in Wedding Invitations & Paper
I need some suggestions. My FI and I have big families and are trying to keep the wedding as small as possible. Due to this fact we decided to only invite first aunts uncles and cousinand that we were not going to invite any kids to our wedding. We set the age limit at 16 (at the time of our wedding). At the time of our wedding all his cousins will be 16, except one who will be 10. What do we do about her? Do we invite her so that she isn't the only cousin not invited, or do we explan that we are not having any children? My niece and nephew, who are in the wedding, will be 2 and 5 at the time of our wedding and they are not attending the reception. How do we justify inviting some and not others.

Help me!

    Can you do tiers instead? Invite cousins, but not second cousins. No children of cousins or friends, only children of family? There has to be some cut-off.

    Frankly, you can invite whomever you like, period, but yes, people might get upset if their kids aren't invited and there are other kids there.

    Is the 10 year old related to the 16 year old? Could be tricky sending an invite to that family with one child listed and not the other. If you want the 10 year old there...I say invite him/her. Can you give him/her a duty so they are included in the wedding party? We have a cut off on our wedding too. No kids that aren't in the wedding party or a niece/nephew. My FI has a cousin that has a 15 year old daughter so we are giving her a duty as guest book attendant to justify to anyone that might question why she is there.
