    We are inviting ALL the children lol! We know that some couples will want a kid-free weekend and they're treating our wedding weekend as a getaway (lots of out-of-towners and some from out of the country). but I work in schools and we both love kids, plus there are tons in our families and friend groups. We couldn't imagine having a wedding with so many missing family members!

    Adult-only, exception for my two flower girls. Theyre basically like my little sisters.

    Even though we have 2 kids and 2 neices, adults only! They will be in the wedding, eat dinner, then babysitter will take over in our room upstairs!

    We're having 8 or older. Mormon family means 12+ cousins under 8 that I haven't even met!

    Adults only DW; it’s in the evening and not suitable for children.

    Aside from the 8 immediate nieces and nephews (youngest is 8), we have asked people to leave the littles at home. I’ve been to too many weddings where it turns into a kids dance party or it minimizing the specialness of the night for the parents, our family/friends. We actually decided to not have a ring bearer or flower girl either. Keep in mind...our children are nearly grown (youngest is 16).

    Adults ONLY. Sunday brunch isn’t really s kids event... plus it keeps the party size small and intimate, like we want.

    Mostly adults only. Only exception is our nieces and nephews (6 kids total) with ages ranging from 6-12.

    Adults only besides the flower girl and ring bearer! Wish I could’ve included kids but it would’ve added 30 more to my guest count and my venue didn’t have child prices, so I’d pay for 30 adults who would be running around instead of eating anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

    A majority of our guest list are close family that all have kids, and they’re all traveling from out of town. I can’t imagine not having the kiddos to celebrate with us!
