Is anyone having a kid-friendly wedding?

Not turning the wedding into a kids' party but a family event in general.

Not turning the wedding into a kids' party but a family event in general. While the majority of kids we are inviting are preteens and older, at least in my family, weddings are for the whole family, not just the parents. If you were to have an adult only event, be it a wedding or otherwise, you can guarantee to not receive an invite to future family events. So luckily for everyone, the kids are raised how to behave in public social settings, and we have zero worries, even with alcohol served, which happens around kids and teens everyday with nothing going wrong.


Anyone else?

    Yes! Especially with the delay, we are inviting lots of kids. The youngest will be 7 or 8 by the time the wedding rolls around. We are having a kids only table, board games, photo booth, things we think they'll really enjoy. It should also allow the parents to kick back and enjoy themselves as well.

    We will be having kids the youngest will be 4. We are going to have yard games (corn hole, giant jenga, washers), wedding day coloring books and crayons, and a photo booth available, as well as playing music that is appropriate for all ages to dance with and including some of their favorites (I am 100% positive the Baby Shark club remix will be on our DJ list) Smiley xd

    We will be having a kid friendly wedding. We are combining our families that day he came in with 2 and I came in with one and we had one together. We actually requested the families that have children to bring them for my sanity. My youngest will be 4 when we get married. If the families opt to not bring them that is perfectly fine with me.

    We are hoping to have a child-friendly wedding. If Covid restrictions don't change in our area, though, we'll have to cut them out to get down to the maximum amount of people allowed . . . we have 20+ kids that we are planning on inviting, though. My family is BIG into the kids.

    I have two kids myself so we are having a child friendly wedding. Our family never hires babysitters, it’s always one family member watching another’s child or children if needed. So even if we didn’t have kids, it would be impossible to ask people not to bring their children because everyone who could watch them would be at the wedding. Everyone has different family dynamics and preferences. I completely understand wanting to have a child free wedding, it’s not really the place for children.

    We have alot of kids in our family alone, our 4 kids that me and my fiance have together and 16 nieces and nephews. We will be having kids at our wedding. What I'm trying to decide on is if I should have kid tables for the kids to sit at for the reception, my mom thinks the kids should sit with their parents at the reception but I kind of like the idea of kid tables.
