I wish I had told people no kids because now I am stressing about the attention seeking behavior that I won't tolerate on THAT day. Every time I attend a family function I get anxiety about this after b/c it feels like that scene in Home Alone where it's just total chaos with yelling and screaming and things spilling. I am considering requesting that kids retire for the evening at 8:30-9pm. (There is an on-site sitter and the reception is at a small Inn, where most people are staying for the night. The room is small and the dancefloor is, let's just say, barely adequate for the way we like to dance. I have seen it happen over and over again where kids get out there and it's silly and cute for 5 minutes, but then adults feel weird about dancing and the party dies. That would be a total failure reception for me because I just love dancing. So...
Seating &Ceremony 5-6
Cocktail 6-7
Dinner 7-8
Adults Only Reception 9-11
Appreciate your thoughts... (Especially if you have children!)
