We are not having kids at the wedding. Just because we cant afford it. There are too many!!

We are not having children at the wedding. My MOH's son and daughter are our fg and rb. They are being picked up after they are introduced at the RH. I really want everyone to have a good time and not worry about caring for little ones. This is JMO... anyone can come to the church.. but no to the RH

no one under 18 is invited to ours.. the only ones are gunna be his brothers and sister... personally i dont want a bunch of kids running around, and have to worry about them... and if we didnt do that the list would be huge!!!

I would LOVE to have kids at my wedding...but I don't know any!! I'm going to end up having like two people under 10. So sad.

I'm a teacher and do love children, but FH has a number of nieces, nephews and cousins under the age of 18. IMO I just don't want kids running around at my wedding, Plus we have to pay full price for kids at my RH. I feel bad that they can't come, but I'm happy with my decision and plan to add it in on the invite also that it is an adult reception.

I am having a few children -- FH's kids and nieces and my two cousins. I dont want my wedding turning into a circus with kids dominating the dance floor. Just my opinion-- many people will disagree

We are not having kids at our wedding. Our friends that do have children (mostly babies at this point) want a night away from their children anyways.

we are only having our 5 FG's and RB's which are our immediate nieces and nephews. there are just too many children in the family to invite them all it would be insane, but we would never imagine not having our nieces and nephews there and/or part of the bridal party. I also fear my wedding would turn into a kid party with kids just running all over the dance floor and no one being able to dance. I love kids, but this is one thing I have been selfish about... I want to be able to dance and not worry about kids running all over and screaming all day... i can handle to 5 most close to my heart but thats all!!!

ITA. I have been to many wedding where the kids wer running all over the place. I am also doing my FG and RB's for that reason. There are just too much kids in the family to invite them. Money is just tight.
