I love children. I ADORE CHILDREN.

But if you have children that you do not discipline, DON'T BRING THEM AROUND ME!!

FH and I are having a relatively child free wedding (no children outside of the wedding party)

Its a night wedding. Its formal. Find a babysitter. Have a drink. Get a hotel room and practice making the next baby!!

Our wedding is not YOUR family reunion. Nor should I be responsible for stopping your child from knocking over the cake.

I went to a wedding and saw a child lift up the brides dress and try to play hide and seek under it during the first dance!!

BTW this is not directed toward WW Brides who have children. I'm sure your babies are well behaved. FH has a cousin who does not discipline her children and even if it is clear they are not invited, would show up and throw them on the mercy of other people while she gets drunk.

    You can tell people who wants to bring their kids : Children will be given X amount of shots per how old they are.

    Speaking of security..... as we speak (type?) I am scouring Pinterest looking for ideas. My BFF back home and I are combining our daughters' birthdays into one party (two weeks apart and they will both be five; they used to be BFFs too before we moved). We are doing a "Divas and Rockstars" theme, since the girls want to be divas but they want to invite little boys too.

    @OTW- They should hang up a sign that says "Disobedient/unattended children will be given massive quantities of sugar and made wild promises about puppies and Christmas presents"

    Hey... I loved Jem! I still do! My dad didn't let me pierce my ears until I was a teenager so I'd put marker on my ears and pretend to talk to Synergy. I still...do...?

    @Tiffanny: I agree! When I was a kid, I went to weddings with my parents, and I was expected to dress up, be quiet and behave. If they went to an event that I couldn't have handled that young, like the opera or a wedding that preferred to not have children, they left me at home with a sitter.

    I babysat a few years ago ONCE, as a favor to a family at church, and the 9 year-old son shoved the four-year-old girl down the stairs in FRONT of their parents, and instead of yelling at him, the Mom told him to limit his Scooby-Doo time and told me he was "just figuring out how to be a child, but that he has a soft-spoken soul."

    I'm sorry, WHAT? That's called "figuring out how to be a psychopath." Perhaps it's because my parents are from the WWII generation, but if I'd tried any of that, I'd have been spanked and then at boarding school.

    Woah, I go offline for a day and miss so much! It's the parents who don't realize their kids are a problem who insist on bringing them everywhere!

    I plan on getting a room at the hotel, hooking up the nintendo to the tv, getting some babysitters and pizza and sending the kids up there after family pictures. When my aunts were married, each sibling with kids chipped in per kid for the sitters, but all the kids had name cards and wedding-themed kid-specific favors. This was strictly for immediate nieces and nephews only. No third cousin's in-laws kids - you had to deal with your kids yourself. The system worked because the kids knew that 1) they were safe, because our parents were downstairs if we needed them and 1) they couldn't act up because our parents were downstairs if we needed to get in trouble. But I know that it's not feasible for every bride's situation, so I'm not saying "this is the only way it should be raaah" or anything like that.

    @Tiffanny they know their kids are a problem. thats the problem lol but thats a great solution for brides who have alot of nieces and nephews. Our nieces and nephews are old enough to be mature and responsible even the 2 young flower girls would behave. its only this particular cousin's kids lol

    We're hiring sitters to be on site but in a separate area. That way parents can check on them. We will have dress up stuff, crayons, Xbox, arts and crafts, etc, for them. Once they leave that room, their parents have to watch them.
