I never noticed this thread but i think its a cracker. I love a good debate.

For our CP we didn't have any children just because there wasn't any in the family (Apart from 2 who the parents didn't attend anyway, that was a brother n sister off my mums side). When we do it again i hope we will have a couple which will play a major part in our day, i want it to be just as special for them as it is us. We are very family orientated. I have also recently found 3 sisters and a brother i never knew about ( off my dads side), this increased nieces and nephews to 21 from 3. I would like to think they will all attend but not be BM or anything as it would cost a fortune pmsl.

If you don't want young babies (anything under 1 i class as young) then don't have them hun its simple, BUT i would suggest talking to the pregnant women when you find out and just ask that if they did have to have the baby with them would they mind leaving the room or going to settle the baby at the back of the room at least. Explain that you have made it extremely personal and that you want everyone to hear it and you don't mean to be horrible but your worried peoples attention will be focused on the crying baby and people will remember that more. I'm sure if you can put it in the right way they should take offence, those who do shouldn't bother attending anyway because they obviously don't care about how you feel lol :)

I hope you get it sorted hun & sorry for the long post pmsl x

I am having kids of all ages at my wedding, including a baby who will only be a few days old (they are only coming to reception for an hour) I have no problems with kids being there, I have 4 however and am used to the noise and my OHs mentally handicapped brother will be there who makes more noise than my 4 kids put together, but i couldnt not have them there as they are all special to me, but thats just me.

I can understand if you have no kids yourself or just dont like kids. At the end of the day its your wedding and if people want to come they will have to listen to what you want. :)

i wouldnt worry. if you dont want them their then say it will only upset you. ive got my H2B grand daughter whos coming and she will be 2 1/2 and she like to scream !!! Weve already up set the mum as we dont want her to be bridesmaid. As you say its about you two and no one else . :-)

My friend isnt having any children at her wedding only her own 3 - fine by me I will have a better time without them to be honest and by that I mean I wont be constantly worrying if they are behaving or where they are etc. Me and h2b have decided we are only having family children at ours...

However, my son was 8 months old when my hubbys brother and sister in law got married, they too had a no children request so my son didnt go - much to the absolute disgust of mil and fil!!

Everyone has their own choices and I think whatever that choice people decide on for their own wedding should be accepted. That said my sister in law is still livid that our friend isnt having children.....but hey!

I think as this baby will be your niece/nephew you should maybe make an allowance. not all babies constantly cry and if that was the case surely they could take the baby outside. personally i would be offended if my brother got married and told me not to bring the baby whereas if i attended a friends wedding i wouldnt be offended. The fact is that baby will be part of your family.
Thats just my opinion i think everyone has different views but for that reason dont be shocked that some people will be unhappy about it.

Were not having any children and ive told all of my friends and family. My uncle has two small children and has even asked my mum to let him bring them. Ive said no i dont want any.

My best friends wife is due to have their baby in June (were getting married in September) and she cant wait to have a drink and dance. Everyone has been fine apart from my uncle.

We are having children in the evening tho.

But it is your niece or nephew so if it was me I would want him or her to be there, but thats just me :)

Cant wait until I become Mrs K

It's a difficult one to strike this. I totally understand why people don't want children/babies at their weddings ..............equally, I can see it's hard to exclude certain children.

H2B and I are saying we are unable to accommodate children with the exception of family and everyone so far seems to be ok with it and are actually loving the fact they can drop their kids off at their parents and have a weekend away, this way they get a couple of days away to enjoy themselves. The only children we will have is a 3 year old a 1 year old and a 7 month old, all are family.

Ultimately it's your wedding and your choice but be prepared to upset close family if you impose a blanket ban. On the other hand, one would hope that the parents would respect your choice.

Good luck hun xxx

I think at the end of the day it is up to the bride and groom- they are the ones paying for the wedding and the food and the entertainment. A baby may sleep through the whole thing but it may also cry through it too. I have spoken to my people in my wedding and have asked what they think about the babysitter etc and they are all mortified i could suggest such a thing. If people did take their children out if they started crying then it would be fine, but i have been to many church services, restaurants etc where children have been crying and the parents just sit there.

I love kids, and at the moment dont have any of my own but im respectful of peoples feelings and if people say no kids then i would respect that.
If they are breast feeding there is ways around this.
