Guest List Etiquette

The Austin American-Statesman had a great article on wedding guest list etiquette a few weeks ago.

The focus on the article is basically, your wedding is your wedding, and you should invite as many people or as few people as you really want to. But, as the article points out, people don't always have the best manners when it comes to the guest list, so you need to be firm and courteous about letting guests know why you might not want children present at the wedding when they inquire, or other such concerns.

It also hints that if you want to keep your wedding small, not only should you be prepared to tell those inquiring that you only want close family and friends at your small affair but you also should not talk about the wedding "all over the place." This could lead to a lot of hurt feelings if people feel like you are rubbing it in their face, and they weren't invited.
