are the kids comming??

Original post by hsacks23r

Who is having kids at there wedding?? Who is not--why or why not??? Must of our friends have kids so we don't want them to tell us that they can not make it because of the kids so we are send the invites as 'The Jones Family'

All of the kids on both sides are 3 and under so we decided no kids. Of course, his side keeps telling us how disappointed they are but whatever - it's our day.

If we invite any kids we have to invite all 40 of them so we are doing adult only reception b/c of the $$ factor.



Same here.

Nope, because it will be all my FH's bratty, uncontrolable cousins!

Edit to add: I know that sounded bad, but it's also a money issue as well, even at 1/2 price it's like paying for another 12 adults and having to make favors for children or coloring books things to make them happy while the adults are partying.. it's just easier to have no children at all.

We are not having 'kids'. Our youngest will be 13 years old. I feel at that age they know how to act. We have a few family members with younger kids, but they're not invited.

the only kid we're having is our flower girl, who's 5 i think and THAT'S IT. we had a million of them running around at our engagement party and it ruined the fun for the adults- they dominated the dance floor and no one danced! don't get me wrong, i love kids, but unless you have the dough to make a kiddie friendly table w/ food and someone to watch them, you might want to reconsider!

We are inviting kids.... where I grew up, weddings are a family function for everyone because it's about everyone coming together from both sides of the family as one big family. We will invite the kids in the family, which is about 10 of them...

All FH's cousins are 21 to 4 years old and all live out of state. Yes, we are having kids but only first cousins and my nephew. We had to draw the line on how to do that with the kids. All my friends and my cousins have kids so we made it fair only family first cousins.

willbe having children! will still be a formal evening affair, but none of them are babies any longer so its not as big of a deal... i couldnt imagine them not being there!

We're not just because of the time factor. There are no nieces or nephews in mine or FH's family. Not only that but the $$$ was a little factor

Only kid will be my neice and maybe the OOT guests from Spain. That is it!

Re: are the kids comming??

all of my neices and nephews are in the bridal part along with FI brothers who are all under 18. all the kids make up our bridal party pretty much. so they are all invited. we're inviting some kids from FI side of the family because he only has a total of about 50 people if that. I'm not inviting kids from my side of the family as of now.
