I have seen people go both ways on this.

Yeah, that would be a hard no. We decided to make it a grown and sexy event. Don’t get me wrong we love our nieces and nephews, but we both come from very large families, plus we didn’t include children in our budget. Not to mention the COVID restrictions we are still under, some mild ones but we still have some here in Minnesota. So no children for us.

View Quoted Comment Yeah, that can happen, I played the COVID and budget card. If they truly want to celebrate your day with you they would understand. And I am truly sorry if they try to guilt you into changing your mind. Just remember it’s your day….

None, keeping it grown and sexy

I have my kids in my wedding party ...I also have a couple of small kids coming not a lot

We are allowing children because our wedding is going to be a relaxed, chill vibe! We are getting married in a barn. However, if we were doing a "classier" wedding, I think I would have decided no children.

Also, the amount of kids on our guest list is very minimal, so it didn't affect our overall pricing much.

Yes! We put together little favor bags with candy, bubbles, coloring books and other small items for them to play with. They are too big a part of our lives to not have them there on our wedding day.

The only children at my wedding will be my 3 and my sister (my MOH's) child. For everyone else I did not invite children.

We are not inviting any children to the event. With the cost of everything (pay per table, per seat, per plate, etc.), I just couldn’t see myself paying that for a child.

Yes I'm inviting kids

Only children in the wedding party will be in attendance, no other children will be attending, adults only!

We made a rule to only have children whose diapers we have changed at the wedding, so our nieces and nephews. We are having a casual welcome party the night before because our wedding is a 3-6 hour drive for everyone, and kids will be allowed to attend that event if they came along for the trip.

Hi Latonya!
We only had the flower girl @ ring bearer there. But it’s what works for you and FH.

Due to my guest count ,I’m not having kids at the reception .but we’re live streaming it so they can watch it from there .lol

My fiancé and I are having kids in both wedding and reception but will be proving childcare for both for children 5 and down

View Quoted Comment Thank you for helping me feel less icky about this! 💜

Left it up to our guests. We really wanted to have kids at both but now with covid it's a concern. I'd say half of our guests who would have brought kids are now not doing it.

One family will bring kids just to ceremony outdoors and then otherwise we just have two vaccinated teens with their dad, and 4 other kids under age 10 (one family has a single mom who can't find a sitter...other is like my "nephew" best friend's kid, and my one niece- again they don't have someone to watch and my mom would be devastated if she didn't come). Not sure if it's the best idea but we are letting people make their own decisions. Ugh, I hate this pandemic.

Only the children of close family and the wedding party can come. Over half the people we're inviting have kids. If we let them all bring their kids that could be an extra 50+ guests. My first wedding there were no kids except my siblings and the flower girls and ring bearer.

We will have kids there

We had a kid free wedding (we did allow one couple to bring their newborn). We simply addressed invitations only to the invited adults and put "Invited guests only. Please no children" on our wedding website. There was zero confusion and no one was upset by our request.

I'm inviting children to my wedding. I guess it depends with COVID whether many parents will want to bring them. But I personally would never have a child free wedding.
