Is a kid friendly wedding such a bad idea?

I've never been to a kid-free wedding (or didn't notice that I was at one) and we're having kids at ours. Only our families' kids (and there are tons) and not inviting our friends' kids because we think our friends would want a night out without kids. But if they let me know that they don't have a sitter or that they would want to bring their kids then we'll let them, no problem.

It's totally up to you. I don't think anyone ever suggested kid friendly weddings were bad.

We had a kid free wedding because we've seen too many weddings ruined by children. We also wanted to play all the explicit music without my aunts and cousins going "Oh no this just won't do!!"

I am having kids at mine my nieces and nephews are my world and I don’t see it right for them not to be their to see their Aunt marry their Future Uncle. Although my nephew who is three swears he is marrying me. We are getting married at County Park so their is a pool and a playground for them to play on but we are having a kids table full of stuff for the kids to grab and kids friendly snacks for them to just so they feel included nd don’t get bored from all the other wedding stuff going on.

I'd never thought about having a kid-free wedding until I saw posts about it. Both my mother and father came from large families (both had 6 siblings), and all of my aunts and uncles had multiple kids and so on and so forth. Also, with us both being in our 20's - most, if not all, of our closest friends have just started their families, and will have little ones. I don't see it as a problem, unless I become the babysitter, or they start ruining stuff, which I trust our family and friends to not allow.

We personally have 3 babes all 2 and under lol.im having a sitter our wedding night. They will be there for the ceremony and pictures than the sitter is taking them to our home. As far as guests go, I'm playing it by ear on rsvp's and see who is bringing kids and than offering an extra sitter and our home or letting them have kids at venue and if it's a few I'll set up some stuff for them.i want to celebrate without kids and with their parents, since we had our 2 year old and twins while saving up for our wedding, but I don't want to put restrictions on it as well and tell guests to get a sitter or that they can't bring them.

You're not crazy at all! We were really torn about it. We wanted kids free so that everyone could drink and enjoy their night, but our ring bearer and our flower girl have siblings and it felt weird to say that they could come but their brother/sister can't. And there would be issues if we said some could come and some can't so were doing kid friendly and honestly I'm excited we live so far from FH family and it'll be nice for our daughter to he around her cousins!

My FH and I both have children. They will more and likely be there until the end. I am bringing plenty of activities for them and my son likes to dance until he falls down! Kid friendly weddings are doable and fun!

We'll have kids! We can't imagine not inviting our own siblings, almost all of whom are under 18.

You aren't crazy. I was going to have a kid-free wedding but the number of little ones in my family keeps growing. They are too cute not to have there.

I wouldn't say I'm having a kid friendly wedding as much as not excluding kids from my wedding. Do I like kids? Not really. But, I'd much rather have the kids attend the weddding than have some of my friends not attend because they can't come to our out of state wedding without their children.
