    No children under 18 years old, with the exception of our 3 nephews.

    I would prefer to have family children’s there
    And for it be mostly a children free event just because I’d like the adults to have a good time


    I’m not sure how to word it on the invitation though

    I’m inviting kids. Not having any in the wedding party, but I’ve got friends and some family that I didn’t feel right telling them to find a sitter. One of my closest running friends has two boys and no family near them. They’ve never paid for a sitter since living there and I love their boys so I wouldn’t exclude them.

    I could never imagine not inviting kids. They love to dance as much as anyone.

    Yes kids are invited. If we adults only, several important people wouldn't able to come. Plus, in my family, weddings are whole family events and all are well behaved.

    We adressed all the invitations to the whole families, so with children. Most of the parents decided to come alone, so we only had 3 kids at the wedding. And one new-born...
