I have a wedding website and I am posting FAQs like about children attending, attire, ect.
for children I say: Why are guests discouraged from bringing children?
The bride and groom believe that their wedding day is a very sacred day and would love for everyone to be a part of this wonderful event; however, having small children in the ceremony can often create distractions and noise. Although, the bride and groom share their emmense love for children, they believe that a wedding is not the most appropriate place for these children to be present. It is understandable that it is very difficult for children to sit through a ceremony. The activites at the reception as well are not entirely suitable for children either. The bride and groom understand the predicament that this places on many people, but they would like for their special day to be fully enjoyed by all of their guests.
Is there an age cut-off for the ceremony? There is no age cut off for the actual ceremony. The Bride and Groom do ask that no small babies or toddlers be present due to the length of the ceremony; although, the reception is an adult-only gathering.
OR Can the out of town guests stay at your(brides) house?
There will be no available beds at the lake house available for out of town guests. However, there are a few hotels listed on this website under accomodations in order to provide a cozy atmospher during your stay. The bride and groom greatly appreciate your attendance to this joyous occasion, and apologize for any inconvience that this causes anyone. Guests Can people bring a guest even if it is not specified on their invitation? Due to the size constraints of the reception site, extra guests cannot be accounted for. The Bride and Groom appoligize for this; however, they want to make sure that the reception is comfortable and not over crowded.
Are these rude?! I like them, because I have a lot of people coming like 200+ and I cannot handle all of these questions 1 by 1 ...

Jamie -
While you "FAQ" may not be rude, per se, it's a bit negative since you're assuming that your guests don't understand proper etiquette. Every point you make on this list should already be made through the invitations, with the exception of the accommodations. If your guests are wondering about where to stay, they will visit your page on accommodations.
It would be much more friendly if you were to simply answer the questions personally. Hopefully, there won't be too many or they will try to, at least, contact you by email. Planning a large event can be tedious. Try to enjoy it though! Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I completely agree. Plus, many parents may read the bit about children's behavior and be insulted. Many consider their children's behavior fine even when they are disruptive. So, it is probably best to avoid saying anything about that. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
