I have seen people go both ways on this.

We are having just my FH's niece and nephews (our flower girl and ring bearers) and 1 additional child (my godmother/aunts daughter) because we know her parents do not have any other person they can have babysit.

Nope. We're having an evening black tie wedding, which isn't really appropriate for kids to begin with.

On our wedding website on the top of the RSVP Page we had this note:

**To give all our amazing guests an opportunity to celebrate without having to worry about little eyes and ears, we politely request no children under the age of 12.**

Nope! My sister will bring her baby (hopefully will get a sitter for the reception tho) and I have a ~10 year old coming who will probably be on the iPad the whole time lol. Other than that, no kids!!! No one wants to deal with children running around and also sucks for the parents who want to have fun

Only kids at mine will be family, which they are in the wedding party. On the invite we only addressed the adult's.

No, we wanted to have a responsibility-free day for all the adults and let parents take a break from being parents so they could be fully present with us for our special day

We won’t be having kids at ours! Just be sure to specifically state that on your wedding website & address invitations to the adults of each family only so there’s no confusion. Also, word of mouth by your parents and siblings to family and friends can help a lot

We will be having our flower girl, ring bearer, and junior bridesmaid there only for the ceremony and no kids otherwise. They're FH's nieces and nephew so we talked to his sister before confirming anything and she was the one who brought up that they could be picked up at some point by her in laws. If we didn't have a way for them to be taken home then we probably just wouldn't have included them at all. Our venue isn't the best place for kids.

I prefer not to have i was at friends wedding and there was a screaming child and me with tinnitus is not a good combo but we have a children's playroom so i hoping if anyone has children they put them in there at the ceremonial at least now the reception is fine as long as they are ok when we have a speech

but you're a grown up when you're 15 to me because i am Danish so ya..... but i see some nice suggestions i might do some of this

I'd love to not have kids in at my wedding, but with a large Latin family where everyone has kids and their available "babysitters" will all be at the wedding, it's almost impossible. We wanted to tell our friends with kids to leave them at home, but luckily it hasn't really come up since the general consensus is that they don't want their kids there so they can party

We are only having my FH's nieces and nephew as they will be ring bearer and flower girls - we are only addressing invites to adults and we put a memo on our details that it is an adults only event and only kids part of the wedding party are invited. I have a spot on our RSVP's that say number of attending so if people try to add more I'll just call them up and remind them kids are not invited.

I have two small children and my Fiancés family has a ton of kids so our guest count is 80 and 17 of those are children lol

We are having kids at both! I mean, we have three kids ourselves (10, 2, and 1). The people who we would trust babysitting for us would be adults attending the wedding, so it wouldn't make sense for us. It's a destination Cancun Catholic wedding, so our total guests is around 50 anyway. Our families love including children on special days like weddings.

I'm stuck in the same boat, I have a lot of families with toddlers and infants and I don't want to come off as "rude" by sending invitations that say "no children". The issue for me is that a lot of my family is out of state...So to travel with babies on airlines and to potentially have to leave the reception early due to a fussy baby on a trip that you paid a lot of money for seems like a lot to me. Which is why I wanted no children so the parents can enjoy a nice weekend trip alone. But so far I'm getting crabbiness in regards to this and I don't know what to do.

No kids for mine.

View Quoted Comment You sound like me 🤦

Now we are having no kids because its alot going on still with the covid so we are limiting less ppl small and Intimate

We have children so we were not against children coming, however the families with a lot of younger children we did not include them on our online RSVP list and just addressed the save the dates with the parents names. We have had a few parents ask if they could bring their child (I know most of the one's who do will keep them at home lol)

I will be, they’re even in my wedding party! We also will be having our 2 1/2 year old play a huge role in our wedding day!

Yup only because we have a four year old..and 3 grandkids😂💗
