Lots of children at my wedding

We have a ton of children coming. We debated about an adults only wedding but decided we want whole families there. It's normal either way, obviously you guys want them there so it doesn't matter if it's "normal" or not.

I wouldn't do a kids table- we're seating kids with their parents. I think kids sitting alone would get way too rowdy, especially if there's that many.

Let's say FH has an equal number of kids on his guest list. That's 34 kids. A bit too many for me at a wedding. How about limiting children to nieces/nephews, those in the wedding party?

I would say that is about what we are at too. We are expecting about 200 guests - 40ish kids under 12.

We are not doing a kids table - because my cousins kids would not eat.

We do have the whole venue and one room will have the 2 baby sitters I hired, and coloring books and a disney movie playing for the kids who don't want to go back to the hotel but don't want to dance.

Dup.

We are having 23 kids out of a 50 guest wedding/reception. Just make sure that you have some fun activities for them and mine all love to dance so our DJ is going to play some fun songs just for them to get up and dance to. It will be towards the end so they will be well worn out!

We have 32 kids (out of 210 total guests - ranging from 2 months to 12 years) coming, and are providing on-site child care (with 7 staff and entertainment) for during the ceremony and cocktail hour. They'll join their parents for dinner and the rest of the reception.

We went to a wedding in April that had 30 or more kids. We could barely hear the ceremony. The receptio was in their backyard and it was a shit show. Bounce house etc. A kid whipled his peen out and peed next to me while I was eating. That being said, we had a damn good time.

Well hello fellow Rebecca. It definitely changes the feel of the wedding, but there's nothing wrong with having a lot of kids at a wedding. We had about 25 minors at our wedding, mostly under the age of 12, and 100 adults. It was a lot of fun! DH's teenage nieces love babies and were going up to my friends with newborns asking if they wanted them to hold their babies so they could dance for a few minutes without them. It was sweet.

A kids' table could be good if it's a group of kids that would enjoy spending time with each other, like a group of teenage cousins. For very young kids, it's best to seat them with their parents.

How old are these "kids"? I know technically teenagers are kids but they aren't really the same as kids in elementary school or younger.

Very young children will need to sit with their parents. Teens will probably feel awkward sitting with anyone they don't know, so should be sat with family members. They may also not want to feel singled out as "kids".

@Amanda b I laughed so hard at your comment.

Between 1/3 and 1/2 of our guest list are kids ranging from newborn to 18. So did not realize this until last week. Lol oh well to me a wedding is about family and friends coming together so the more the more interesting it will be lol.

We had 25 kids at ours and they were a blast. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without kids. We didn't have a kids table but gave each child a bag of snacks and goodies. Most of the the time the w were on the dance floor dancing.

Out of 85 people, 20 of those are kids, 10 are under 5. Kids will sit with their parents, but we are setting up a small room with fun stuff for them to do if they want.

Out of the 100 guests we're inviting, we estimate we have 10-15 kids from newborn to teens. We're seating them all with their parents, and getting a coloring/activity book for them to do at their seat.

We have 5 kids (9, 7, 5 coming with cousin, 3 and 1 year olds are mine) coming out of 50 guests. We are planning on a kids table with activities and a volunteer babysitter (Granny asked to do this so she has an excuse to not socialize) or can stay with parents. Their choice

Every family is different. Some are going to have more kids than others. FH and I both have smaller families, so there won't be a lot of kids. We will have eight kids max. (Not including teenagers. One teenager)

Unless you're hiring on site child care, seat the children with their parents. Even if invited, not everyone brings their kids to weddings, but you won't know until they RSVP.

Change avatar . Have a kids table and keep the kids busy !! Otherwise they'll be everywhere !! Climbing up the walls . Lol
