[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think that the issue is that some parents of small children don't keep an eye on their small children.  I think the bride and groom, when taking the invite list into consideration, have a good read on who is a lazy, selfish parent and who will be responsible. The bride and groom act accordingly.  Can you blame them?  It is the single biggest event of their lives, up to then.[/b]

For example, have you ever been to a wedding where the small child (too young to know any better) is jumping over the church pews, running around the church, screaming bloody murder in church so that the vows can not be heard, running and chasing and knocking down elderly grandparents, stepping on the bridal train and ripping the bride's dress, or smashes the entire wedding cake to the ground at the reception?  All because the parents were too busy chatting away, or drinking, dancing, or anything but paying attention.

Unfortunately, the lazy, selfish parents ruin it for the responsible parents, such that a blanket rule (such as "adults only") has to be applied.  I know weddings where the bride and groom welcomed certain small children, because they knew it would not be a fiasco - but had to make a blanket "no children" statement, because they knew that one or two parents in particular would make it an unruly free for all.  Let's face it, some parents don't pay attention, and it is all about them.  If you want the relatives to meet your small child, make the necessary plans for that to happen, another time during the wedding weekend.

Better yet, plan a family reunion at your own leisure, so you can dictate the time, venue and guest list.[/quote]

Not to mention the most expensive event of their lives. But sure having a screaming toddler ruin a moment like this is hilarious.

That definitely can be a reason. Also, if they have 2 kids themselves, then probably most of their friends also have kids, plus relatives have kids, pretty soon you have doubled or more your guest list.  [b]Sometimes the kids just have to be cut for space/budget reasons. [/b] [/quote]
