[quote=Anonymous]I have 30 first cousins (who all made the guest list), if I had included kids for all of them and then all of my friends, my guest list would have doubled!  Plus, it honestly isn't the kids that bother me as much as the parenting that can ruin an event.  My siblings brought their children (who were in the wedding) but I knew with 100% certainty that my sister would miss my vows in order to take a rowdy child outside not to ruin it for us.  I do not trust that all parents have the same value on the day/occasion.  Yes, kids can make it better and fun but it's also a really important day that your first cousin's child could ruin.

Also, I have a one year old and I'm going to a wedding next month.  I have zero desire to bring my child.  My in-laws are coming to watch him, but if they couldn't my husband would have stayed home and I would have been happy to go solo.  Chasing my toddler around sounds like zero fun.  And while he's cute when he says 'no' or 'bye bye' in the grocery store, no couple wants to hear him shout it as they are making their commitment of love to each other.  [/quote]
