A Child Free Wedding is a "Hoity Toity Wedding"

Erin, on February 6, 2012 at 9:37 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 13

First of all I'm not saying this to vent or be angry about it I more just thought it was funny. We we are having no children at our wedding with the exception of my FH's VERY well behaved cousins who are 5 thru 10. No on else really even has children except his 18 year old cousin who has two (6 months and two years, right now). Well she does not take care of them, either of them can be crying and she doesn't really respond, someone else has to. Anyways we told them that we don't want children at our wedding and his other aunt, not even the grandmother of the kids or the mother, says "Well we are not use to such a hoity toity wedding" So that was my funny moment of the wedding. That's my only real issue with our wedding, so I can't get to worked up about it.

    We're not having any kids other than the ones in the wedding party. So I guess I'm hoity toity too!!

    I'll take it! I'd rather be hoity toity then to have kids running around or crying or disrupting their parents and the ceremony. We specified on our STD, Invitations, and wedding website that "This is an adults only affair"

    If they don't like it, that's their issue. I can't concede to everything.

    We are having a kid friendly event. Coloring books, a park right by the reception and ceremony areas, games for the adults and kids, etc.

    That is a riot. Stick to your plan. It's YOUR plan.

    I'm having a "hoity toity wedding" too. But, I just wanted to add... Be careful, if you're telling people you're not allowing kids at the wedding then you might want to stick to that for EVERYONE, regardless of how well behaved the other kids are. If I was told no kids and showed up to find several there, I would be a little annoyed and take it personally that you just didn't like my kid (though, I don't see why people want to bring them to weddings anyway, why not get a sitter and have a good time!?)

    A child free wedding means just that- NO kids. If you let some, you're gonna run in to some trouble for not allowing all....

    My thoughts were that the adults could let loose and not worry about there being children around, rather then being hoity toity, but whatever...

    Some people will complain about anything!

    Lol me too...although we did not specify kids being invited but are going to allow them to come if someone asks. I agree with EdieKristen, its not very fair to invite the well behaved children and not the others. We are not having children IN our wedding because I didn't think it was even fair to do that, and then not invite other kids.

    I hear ya on the kids thing. FH family doesn't understand the "No" kid wedding and thinks its rude. I like the "Hoity Toity" though.

    Oh I forgot to mention the only kids invited are in the wedding.

    I don't understand wanting to bring a 8 month old to a wedding anyways and having to deal with feedings and nap times during your own fun. Or a 2 year old and having to try to settle him during the ceremony. I guess i'm not really a kid person yet. I'll probably be mad someday when I have kids and they won't let me bring them to a wedding.

    I agree it would have been 10 times easier if I didn't have any children in my wedding party to enforce the rule but when I first started planning I asked them to be in it and they were sooooo excited so I can't take that back. But I told everyone no kids after seeing how they handled these specific kids.

    I'm totally having a Hoity Toity wedding! I've been told by a cousin with three young children that if she arrives and there are other children there, she's going to "have it out" with me. Really?

    Hey I guess I am hoity toity then. Lmbo. The only kids at our wedding is 16 and 14 ( my future kids) the 16 year old is in the wedding. My parents and my FMIL were like " what no kids well why. People won't come if they can't bring their kids". I said Wedding are for adults. Family reunions are for kids. We are having a wedding.

    We're only having a few kids too. And I really don't care if someone is offended that their kid didn't get invited. They aren't paying and being that it's our wedding we get to make the decisions on who we get to pay for.
