[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I could do it over again (my wedding was 10 years ago), I would have explicitly invited kids.  I remember going to family weddings as a kid and thinking the bride was a princess and that eating cake and dancing and staying up a little late was the most magical thing in the world.  We had one kid crash our wedding and some of my favorite photos are with her on the dance floor. [b] I think brides get so caught up in trying to be classy or formal and it’s not what you remember many years later.  [/quote][/b]

Or they just really like kids and don't want bands of them flying through what is one of the biggest and potentially most expensive days of their life. I had a no kids wedding and no regrets, I don't like being around tons of kids. I love my two, but for a night out? Forget it. Don't need my kids with me or to be around other people's.[/quote]

When I got married we were 25 and none of our friends had kids yet so, though we welcomed kids, there weren’t many there; maybe 10 tops. It was a lot of fun and it worked out well. I love kids but if I got married now and invited everyone’s kids there would be like 75 kids there! I’m not saying it couldn’t work but I definitely don’t fault brides and grooms who limit kids to family as not doing so could be pretty hectic and would add considerably to the overall cost.

Yes, I got married at 35, 100 person evening wedding in NYC, no kids. If we had invited kids there probable would have been about 40. The sounds insane unless you are a very particular type of person with a lot of money to spend on a party that's almost "for" the kids.[/quote]
