Is there a Nice way to invite some kids and not others?

Okay, just wondering, I will be inviting some kids to the wedding but I have these two guests that are sisters and will be coming together-if I invite one, I'll have to invite the other, one of them has an older daughter-about 10 and the other has a young son about 6-but he's CRAZY, RUNS around and jumps all over everything and you tell him to stop and he doesn't listen, (I've witnessed this when taking the kids for the weekend) is there any way to Say the young boy isn't invited???
Probably not but just wondering, Plus there will be other children his age (but they behave) so I can't say no children under 10 are coming, but maybe in this atmosphere he will not be running around everywhere, you never know.

Thats a tough one. One of my BM's has a 15 year old daughter that I would love to invite but she also has an 8 yeah old son that is AWFUL!!!! We decided not to have either go, rather than picking and choosing. Good luck

Yeah I agree. I don't think there is a polite way to be selective, which is why we've decided not to have any children under 16 years old. There is one exception...my 6-year old nephew will be invited since he is the RB.

That is a tough one. I cut my list of kids by only immediately family, and nieces and nephews, no cousins, 2nd cousins, etc. Why not say something to the mother about the way he behaves or maybe her sister, maybe she will talk to the boys mother. JMO.

How would making the cut-off age 10 years old fly?

yeah, i can't really do a cut off age because I have nephews and BM has new baby girl also some of my co-workers I am inviting their kids so I can't really go with the age thing, it's tough, I guess I'll just have to invite the boy and tell his mother to just make sure he behaves.
