    This is such a personal decision. Does your budget allow for you to invite all those kids? Remember kids all equal a chair and a meal. We chose to invite children because some of our wedding party would not have been able to participate if we hadn’t.

    Well, it depends, do you want them there? Can you afford to host your entire guest list plus all of their children? If we invited everyone's children on our guest list, it would have been 40+ more heads, and that just wasn't in our budget. Plus we didn't really want our coworker's random children that we've never met running around at our wedding.

    Ultimately it's up to you.
    Do you have the space and budget for them?
    Do you want them?

    Remember, if you want some there but not others the ettiquete is generally to invite in 'circles' e.g. if you invite some cousin's children you should invite all of them.

    We invited children. I feel attending a wedding is a good experience for children to learn. Plus, my husband and I love kids and our venue didn't charge us for anyone under 5 and a reduce rate for any child between 5-12. We had a great time dancing with them and watching them run around!

    That’s totally up to you. Can your budget afford kids? Do you want kids at your wedding? Only you can decide. I know that I’m not having kids because they cost and on top of that, I want an adult only celebration. Moreover, I don’t want any baby crying and child boredom at the wedding lol.

    I think this depends on your budget and space also. Do you have the space and the budget for them if you did want them there?

    I only plan on having mine and his siblings children as they will be part of the wedding. We have wayyy too many children in our family (cousins kids and stuff) so that’s a no for me. I don’t want a bunch of kids running around lol

    That’s all up to you! We have a lot of kids in our family and we will not be having kids come to ours. A lot of the children are younger and we want the parents to be able to come and have a great night and not have to worry about their kids running around or being upset.

    We invited all the children of adults on our guest list. We had a ton traveling in, and a lot of people with kids under 5 so it would be hard to leave them. Our venue had a kids room so we hired a nanny to stay in the room and hangout if kids were interested.
