for those of you who are having a “no kids” wedding. How is your family taking the news. I haven’t mentioned anything to my family but I know they know I am possibly thinking of having no kids at the wedding and I’m already starting to get backlash and keep it mind nothing has been said to them...

For those of you who are having a “no kids” wedding. How is your family taking the news. I haven’t mentioned anything to my family but I know they know I am possibly thinking of having no kids at the wedding and I’m already starting to get backlash and keep it mind nothing has been said to them personally yet. My family has ALOT of children All of which I love dearly but I don’t want kids to be running around the reception or ceremony area. I am going to have a flower girl and a ring bearer but I’m afraid that many people are going to questioned why are those kids allowed at my wedding but theirs are not.

I’m not sure how to announce to people the “no kids allowed” part to them. I know regardless of how hard I try to convey the message nicely people are still going to get offended.
Any advice or tips? I would truly appreciate it.

My FH and I decided that we weren't going to have a ring bearer or a flower girl for that exact reason. We felt that if we did have them, then we would have to let everyone invite their kids as well so we are just doing without them. If they are important to you and you want those roles in your wedding, then I would just say that the only kids allowed are those in the wedding due to their role. My family wasn't upset they were actually excited to have a night away from the kids
