We aren't having any but we don't have any kids of our own yet and none of our close friends and family do either...so we decided no kids as its pointless they won't know anyone and we don't know them...it only actually affects 2 couples, my Dads friend and my distant cousin (don't even know if my cousin and her husband will be attending themselves as I haven't seen them in years but my Dad wanted to invite them) but their kids will all be 14-16 at the time of the wedding and i am sure they won't want to come anyway! plus the wedding is only round the corner for them so i can't see it being an issue. xx

We aren't having any kids to the day do apart from our own - the venue only holds 34 which is hard enough to wittle down as it is. The only person it really affects is one of my BM's but as she quite rightly pointed out, a 10 year old boy is not going to be interested in sitting through the ceremony so it's not a problem. With regard to the evening do, I'm not really bothered if people bring their kids or not - although if I know most of my friends/family, they will probably want a night out without them (how maternal we all are lol) xx
We are only having Niece's and nephews as a general rule which adds up to 10, but I do have a friend who travelling a fair distance to attend our wedding, and I have allowed her 2 children to come. This is because her husband sadly passed away just before Christmas, and I wouldn't even dream of asking her to leave her children at home when they all so clearly need each other still. I would hope my other friends with children would understand that this is special circumstances. To be fair, most of them have said they are happy to let there hair down for the evening anyway xx

Hi, wanted to ask the ladies with kids: if your children were invited to a wedding, how likely would you be to take them or to get a babysitter? I'm thinking of inviting my friends' children to give them the choice. It might mean that they leave the reception early though to get the kids to bed. Not sure what to do.
CommentAuthorVelcro
i get a babysitter, unless it's family. Honestly, I'd prefer to be able to go and enjoy myself without wondering what she's up to, i think it jut becomes a kids party myself if its all children and their parents keeping an eye on them.

We've got quite a few kids being invited to ours, there was never a doubt in my mind not to have them. Luckily I have some fabulous friends who have agreed to take in turns to supervise a creche area in room just off of the main hall of our reception venue. My H2B has 4 nieces and nephews and a few of our friends have children, as well as family friends. To keep them busy during the ceremony and during food time, I plan on giving the kids an activity box including bubbles, colouring, maybe a toy (such as a car) and a disposable camera with a scavenger hunt :) I'm looking forward to planning it all for them xD haha the big kid in me will come out xD

I would say you cal invite few close friends children. Children only enjoy with creative sizes balloon, some live cartoons and also they dancing.
CommentAuthorWelshBrideBethan2015
We are having family kids only and I did offer MOH to bring her child but she wants a day off from him lol
We are having a July wedding and we have an outside area as well as open space as we are having reception in a museum so we will be putting garden games inside if raining and out if sunny so stuff like giant connect 4 and giant snakes and ladders :)
Somehow always connected , finally became friends .
Friends became soul mates :)
