    Kid friendly for sure! FH and I love kids, and there are lots of people in our family who have kids

    That said, there are some families where we are only inviting the adults or the "kids" that we know such as a girl we both danced with in college. Her siblings are 16 and younger but we are only inviting her and her parents. They live in MN so I doubt they'll come anyway though.

    Adults only with the only exception of FH's 2 nieces (10 & 14 year olds) as our junior bridesmaids!

    We wanted the wedding to be adults only, but our flower girls are my FH little sisters who are going to be 9 and 11, but no other children under the age of 17 will be invited.

    Adults only. Our guests with kids all have really young kids (babies/toddlers).

    Kid friendly. We have kids and I have a grandson and there's no way that we wouldn't want them or any others there.

    Kid friendly, I couldn’t imagine my wedding without them! Plus most our guests are out of state and it would be a slap in the face to invite them but not the kids.

    We have two kids together and my FH has several nieces and nephews, so we are making it kid friendly and planning things specifically for the kids to keep them entertained.

    ADULTS ONLY! We are only having kids in the ceremony. Our venue offers side rooms, where we're going to have a babysitter in the room with our children for the reception.

    Kid friendly. Smiley smile We don't personally have any human children but our friends and family do and they're just as much a part of our lives as the adults. Wouldn't be the same without them there.

    I would prefer adults only, but there are some people who have kids I really want them to be there so: kids friendly by default.

    I don't like kids.
    I don't want kids.
    I can't have kids.
    But my friends have kids, and I want my friends to come. So as kid friendly as I can be.

    Kid friendly! Several of FH's cousins have 4-5 kids each, a few of our friends have at least 1 kid, and I have a few younger cousins. None of the families with really young kids are local, so "adults only" would probably keep them from coming at all. Luckily, we get a discount on kids after we meet our venue's minimum number of guests. Smiley smile

    We have lots of kids coming, so kid friendly, although I totally understand the appeal of adults only. I love kids at weddings, so long as their parents are being responsible for them. I'm planning to have games and activities for the kids to do at mine!
