When planning our special day my husband and I immediately knew we wanted to have a kids free wedding for several reasons. 1) On both sides of our family there are a lot of children and we didn't want the trouble of chosing. 2) Our venue charges about $50 per child and allowing children would have made us go over our budget. 3) Although kids can make for some beautiful wedding moments, they are also very unpredictable.
Will you allow children at your wedding? Why or why not?

Well we will have two ring bearers and a flower girl. Then we will have a few teenagers (if you count them) and then we are looking at 3-7 ish more children from family but we don't have a lot and 3 of them are step children that live in michigan and that family member doesn't have a lot of money so I'll be surprised if they showed up at all (i've never met the wife or kids)
No kids, my little brother will be 14 by the time we get married, and he is in the bridal party.
It was actually my FHs decision to not invite his cousins kids. He loves his cousins but they cannot control/discipline their kids at all! Plus, in his words, his cousins didn’t invite him to their weddings and he was 10 and 12 when they got married. So he thinks they’ll understand. Other than that we have no guests with young kids coming to the wedding.
Nope. We love kids but can’t affors to have them at our wedding and providing childcare for children during the ceremony is out of budget. “We love your little ones but this is an adult only event”
Only the wedding party children and children over 10 unless they are a baby. Our venue has a very very strict policy for kids being unsupervised. (Old historic building thag is restored)
Team #nokids here although I will still have 7 kids (4 of who are in the wedding). It wasn't a cost factor for me, it was something I absolutely did not want. Kids who run around like chickens with their heads cut off and their parents (who refuse to check the behavior) is not cute to me at all.

We are doing the same thing!! Life is unpredictable things can happen but that’s part of the joy . Plus, if a kid cries at the ceremony I’ll probably just giggle cause that’s life... and hopefully our planner can scoot them somewhere else quickly. Lol
Like you and your fiance we love kids and they are special to us but for cost affects we said no kids under 10.

Yes kids are allowed. I felt bad telling other people they cant bring their children when my babies will be there. I also figured that all the kids can keep each other company and they will play together/dance together, and of course they will be watched over by adults.
