Limited seating

It's entirely fine not to include children. It's also fine not to invite your coworkers. If you're close with them, I would absolutely cut kids first.

We've opted for no children and no coworkers because of our venue/budget restraints (yay for distant family members ). I would personally go the no children route first, especially if you're close with your coworkers. Then again, I also wouldn't feel obligated to invite your coworkers just because you're concerned they'll get mad at you. I actually told my boss this morning that while she's invited, we don't have it in our budget to include the entire department. She told me it's totally fine and that people would understand. If they don't, that's on them!

No kids. Easy.

It is entirely fine to make it a child free wedding! Some adults may even appreciate it and make your wedding a little date since they don't have the kids.

You don't have to invite the kids or coworkers. No one is obligated to receive a wedding invite!

Don't invite the kids! Even if they get mad, they don't have to come, just like you don't have to invite the kids lol! 40 kids would be so chaotic! You also don't have to invite any coworkers you aren't close with!

A lot of weddings don't include children, I think that's fine.
