Kids in Wedding but not at Reception!

The biggest disagreement between my fiance and I is kids in the wedding. We don't agree on whose kids should be in the wedding (cousins vs. siblings). So, as a solution we decided to ask all of our families' kids to be in the wedding (totals 10). I do NOT want 10 kids at the reception but am unsure how to relay this information to the parents. Has anyone else done this? The ceremony and reception sites are different and not very close in distance. Thanks!

I'm only having 2 kids in my wedding and their parents already know from the get go that its just an adult reception.. they have already arranged plans to have someone pick them up and babysit. If they want to be part of it they'll make it happen if not then who cares it's your wedding, do what you want!

We have our nephew and 2 nieces in our ceremony but not at the reception. Both sets of parents were on board with this idea! We simply talked to them in person about how we'd be honored to have them as ring bearer and flower girls and want them in all the family photos but we would like the parents to be able to enjoy themselves. They loved the idea and no one thought it was rude. I also offered to pay for a sitter for them for the reception but both sets of parents rather have their families take the children after photos (during cocktail hour). I think as long as you are clear about your wants/needs and are okay if they find it to be too much trouble, it should work out fine!!
