I was thinking excel too, but in talking with the reception halls, some of them are children under 6 free, and they'll give a discount for teens because they don't consume alcohol.. this means $$$$$$$$$$$$ saved... I should add columns for those I guess.. what do you think?

Yes you can split the number of attending into 2 columns, adults and children

Re: Guestlist
I used a spreadsheet and I also used a copy of the the address labels & checked each guest off as their response came in.

You can actually set it up here on liweddings.com and then export the data into Excel. Just click on My Wedding and then Wedding Guests.

I'm using The Knot website. It has so many great options, including gifts received for engagement, shower and wedding and date they were received. Check it out.

I agree with this . . . it might be the most useful thing on LIW (except for the boards, of course!!!) Printed labels, etc., working on chart, you name it . . . . that function on this site is great!!
