Kids at Wedding Dilema

Fh and I agreed no kids, but Im feeling guilty. We are having 2 kids 16 (bridemaid)and 11 (reader)attend.
'
'Then I was thinking we should invite his 8 year old niece and my other cousins who are 11 and 12.
'
'What do you think? Should I stick to original plan?

It's all up to you. What would be the reason to invite the others? To keep the first 2 company?
I am having the kids in my BP plus a couple of others, I don't think it will be too bad.
It depends on how you feel. If you don't want anymore kids at all, stick to your plan.
If you don't mind, then go ahead, just remember do what YOU want

There is no right or wrong answer. I had kids at my wedding and it was no big deal. They are all very well behaved. The youngest one was 6. They were all my first cousins and I had the policy that I was going to invite all of my 1st cousins which range from 5 to 35!

It depends on the age of the kids and how behaved they are.

The day goes so quick that they wouldn't be bothering you- but your guests- if they do act up.

I had all the kids sitting at a different table from their parents- that way the parents could have a good time. They pretty much entertained themselves. I heard no complaints and I am glad they were there.

'I figured it would be nice to invite Paul's niece. And my other cousins I feel bad not inviting.

'This is so aggrevating.

Is there a rule you can come up with? Like up to 1st cousin? Up to niece/nephew, etc? That way you won't have to feel bad because there will be a method to your madness.

Wacky definately invite his niece! The only kids we had at my wedding was his niece and nephew and the BM's daughter(who is the dream child, no one is as well behaved as this girl ) I say if you want to invite your cousins go for it! They will probably love it!!!

Re: Kids at Wedding Dilema

If the kids are well behaved you should invite them. Its a special day for you and you want the people you care about to be there, even if they are children. I think my 4 nieces who are all 9 & 10 are the most excited for my wedding. If you don't care about your other guests kids, than you shouldn't invite them. Who cares if the other guests are offended. Weddings are expensive, you can't invite everyone.
