Why did you have a child-free wedding?
MLS, on October 5, 2020 at 8:00 PM

I don't get child-free weddings. I am a former preschool teacher and I have been working with children for the past decade. I love kiddos. I have a lot of friends who are parents, 3 of 5 bridesmaids...

Favors or No Favors
Cieloregina, on December 31, 2018 at 7:33 AM

We are getting married in July, and are thinking of not doing wedding favors. I was wondering what everyone thought of that, and did any bride's forego favors, and how did that go over?

Rschlem, on December 31, 2018 at 2:26 PM

Oh so my FH and I had planned no kids we are not big fans of kids and honestly allowing everyone to bring children would add 30 to our guest list. I have zero desire to have 30 children running around...

Kids at the Wedding
Barbara, on May 24, 2018 at 10:43 AM

I know everyone have different opinions about this. Is it a good idea to invite kids to the wedding outside of my own? If so, is there an age limit?
