Kid friendly! 45 of our guest list alone will be kids

Oh, that'll be so much fun!! What roles are your siblings playing in your wedding party?

Adults only. This was non-negotiable for us.

I've never heard of that before. How neat!! Is anything special going on after 9 pm or is that just when everyone has to send their kids to the room?

How interesting! Why's that, if you don't mind me asking?

We did adults only....well no kids until 14. Not many of our family/friends have small children so it wasn't a huge to do.

No kids.
We don’t have anything f against kids, but
ALL of my cousins have kids— many kids! It would’ve expanded our guest list exponentially (I already have enough cousins that inviting even all of them seemed questionable!), and we had some very specific space restrictions. We already had to be pretty thoughtful with our invite list, and honestly, I don’t really have any real relationship with most of these kids— so it seemed silly to not invite some very close friends just to accommodate all these kids who could probably barely pick me out of a line up! This didn’t stop people from attending. My cousins were perfectly happy to make arrangements and attend without their kids.

An exception was our niece— our only immediate family child, so she fit both in that circle, and she was our “flower girl” though she was only 11 months old so all that really meant was her parents carried her down the aisle. We would have made the exception for any baby, but the only other guests with a baby were insistent on leaving him — they were excited for their first night away from him!

My 20 year old sister is my maid of honor. My 15 and 13 year old sisters are bridesmaids. My 7 year old sister and my fiances 5 year old sister are our flower girls and then my brother is one of my fiances groomsmen!

We are having an adult only reception, with only one exception, because my cousin will have just given birth and I’m not going to ask someone to travel half way across the country and leave their few month old child at home. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No kids. I am not dealing with the headache. I am a teacher and love kids but this is not the place.

I think that's fair. One of my teacher friends had to change venues because she wanted to invite all of her students to the ceremony and, while I supported her in her decision, I was like, "Whaaat?"

We just didn't see them in the picture when we imagined our dream wedding. We have also been to weddings where the kids were out of control (ex: trying to breakdance on a rather small dance floor) and we did not want that at our wedding so we just said no kids.

First wedding was definitely kid-friendly. It was OOT for many, and we didn't want people not coming because of the difficulty in getting babysitters.

Second wedding, there really weren't any kids among the people we invited. I'm sure we would have accommodated kids if anyone had wanted to bring them (heck, we accommodated the person who brought her dog!), but it just wasn't an issue.

Adults only other than my 7 year old sister and H's nieces and nephews (11, 13 and 15).

We didn't have any kids - not because we wanted it to be adults only, but because inviting people's children (young, teen, or older) would have doubled our guest list. We did tell our BP their kids were welcome, but they decided not to bring them before invites even went out. We've got family members with four or five kids, and if we invited some, we'd have to invite all of them so that was a no-go. Plenty of people managed to make it to the wedding without their kinds and without any complaints.

Kids welcome. we wanted to make it adults only but we wanted to avoid drama and most importantly there are a couple VIP guests that would not come without their kids.

Adults only all the way. I've never been to a wedding where children have attended where I haven't wanted to do a massive eyeroll at how annoying the kid was. (And usually mom is nearby going 'Oh! SO ADORABLE!!' ........ ugh)

Kid friendly - to a minimum, there's not a lot of young kids in my family currently so it'll primarily be adults, but with about 5-8 kids attending

No kids, no exceptions. Parents deserve a night out, too, and people have plenty of time to find a babysitter, with our save the dates, etc.

We are only inviting the kids from the wedding party.
