[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think I've ever seen a kid at a wedding. Definitely no kids at receptions. All if the wedding receptions I've been to were formal sit down dinners that lasted until 11 pm or later. They were not kid friendly events at all. [/quote]

Me too. Surprised so many people have been to so many weddings with kids. Almost all the weddings i have attended were kid-free affairs except sometimes the immediate family or a couple flower girls at the reception. Most were in a mahor metropolitan area, start right around bedtime for most small kids, at venues that cost $$ per person, plated dinners, per seat costs for decorations, apps, and flowers. So.....cant even imagine doubling that cost and size with everyone's kids. And yes, most have been cocktail party type events. Maybe other posters have attended weddings in less expensive areas that are more casual? [/quote]

Even the fanciest of weddings I've been to have included children.  The bride was the 9th of 10 kids and had about 50 nieces and nephews at the time and there was no way they weren't attending.  They hired several second and third cousins, who weren't invited, to put the littlest ones to bed and play movies for the others should they become cranky. No fussy kids ruining anything.
The groom was the oldest of five and had no nieces and nephews of his own.  During the wedding a kid behind me, maybe four years old, kept asking if the groom was his uncle yet.  It was really cute and probably the only thing I actually remember from the ceremony.

I haven't been to a wedding in years. All siblings and cousins are married or confirmed bachelors and the eldest of our next generation are 19. [/quote]
