Sorry, No Children Allowed

View Quoted Comment If you reread my comment you will see I mentioned my guests have foster and special needs children that they will lose custody of unless they follow strict rules.
I think we can all agree placing a foster parent in a situation that compromises their family would be heartless. Perhaps make sure you understand a person's comment before jumping to conclusions.

Really no need at all for this kind of aggression... of course someone is going to call you out if you accuse them of being heartless and trashy for not sharing your incredibly specific situation.

View Quoted Comment My last comment was not aggressive, sorry if it seemed to be. It was an explanation.

No kids! Just my 3 nieces...2 of which are in the wedding.

The children as well as the parents can be unpredictable. I have been to too many weddings that kids ruined....there are some parents who see a wedding as a night to have someone else watch their child as they have a fun social evening or don't reprimand their kids when they are clearly crossing a line.

I will be stressed as is and want to avoid as many stressors as I can!

We're allowing (welcoming even) kids at ours, but we're having a relatively small, early afternoon wedding in a kid free venue. Altogether, there are about ten kids under 6 invited, and five or six 6-17 year olds. Some of the little ones we're not expecting their families to come at all, and some of them, their parents are opting to get childcare anyway, to have a grownup time out. But there's a children's area in the botanic gardens where everything is happening, and I'm putting together goody bags for them. Some of them are, admittedly, kind of wild. But I'm not really worried about it. They each have enough adults present to watch them.

Kid FRIENDLY! Not kid free. SMH.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your support.

View Quoted Comment The Botanical Gardens sounds like a beautiful place for children.

Thankfully there are only a couple children (ages 4 & 10) in my family and I think their parents are choosing to have them stay with a family member on wedding day so they can have a break. If there were more children, we both would have done a child free wedding.

View Quoted Comment I completely understand.

We will have many kids due to way too many ESSENTIAL members of the family and wedding party having small ones with no one else available to babysit. Luckily, our venue will not charge for them and in the evening, grandparents will likely take them home just enough early.

We invited family children, which totaled 7 children and 1 baby. We ended up with 3 children and 1 baby that attended, and two of the three children were in the wedding.

View Quoted Comment I always wondered how people managed to have an adult only ceremony but allow kids for the reception. Very clever idea hiring the usual church help to watch over the kiddos for the event. We also didnt want to worry about kids making a scene during our serious and emotional ceremony.

View Quoted Comment Congrats on your marriage?

I'm hoping that the only kids will be my step son he will be 9 and my flower girl she will be three.
My daughter in law has fourkids between her bf and herself.

A newborn, a 13 year old girl which will be fine...but, she and her boyfriend each have a 9 year old boy...mix the 3 boys and it is a free for all.
I'm hoping they will get a sitter, but my fiancee says it is up to them🤷

We are having a child free wedding as well, the only exception is for our 2 flower girls, who are my FH little sisters. Children can be very unpredictable,especially if they get bored at any point of the day. It's also an extra expense on top of an already very expensive day.

View Quoted Comment I hope everything goes your way 🤗

View Quoted Comment Flower girls are always so cute! I opted out of having them but I love the idea.
