[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think its narcissistic to think that your kids belong at every event. You wouldn't expect to bring them to a cocktail party, which is essentially what a wedding is.

I see no problem with it. If you can't be apart from your kids for 4 hours, that's a problem.[/quote]

I had a no-kid wedding for this reason. We wanted an elegant evening party. [/quote]

You can have an elegant evening party and have kids. We did. I'm not saying you should allow kids but to say it can't be a nice wedding with children is ridiculous. [/quote]

How can you do that? I'm truly curious.[/quote]

Simple.  When you address the invites, you specifically invite the parents, not the whole family.  Of course some will just bring the kids anyway.....

I grew up attending family weddings, but can't ever remember a time my parents took us to weddings of their friends.  They got us a sitter.  If they had to go out of town for one, my grandparents would watch us.  I get that most people around here don't have family nearby (I don't either).  So we welcomed kids from our family and friends who were in from out of town.  But in-town friends who don't like to leave their kids with a sitter (but take them to daycare) bewilder me.  I don't know if its a generational thing or what.  I was babysitting at age 13, but it doesn't seem that anyone would let someone that age watch their kids these days.[/quote]
