[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... we both have a VERY large family and had about 600 guests at the reception including non relatives. We both paid. We had planned for the wedding for two years, and no, we didn't go into debt using credit cards if anyone was wondering :)

I probably shouldn't have mentioned it, and didn't mean to bring it up to brag or anything, but to convey that when some people say of the like 'I paid alot for this party or other, and don't want it to be bothered by kids' that we also do the same at family functions, but that doesn't mean we think kids would 'mar' anything.

I no means expect unruly children to be the norm. I am not the type of person to bring a child to a non kid friendly movie, or nice restaurant, or let them run around in a casual restaurant, nor would I ever bring kids to a function that is for adults only...I do understand that teaching your children to be well behaved in public is expected and obviously the correct thing to do.

Also, many prople don't have $80,000 to drop on a wedding - if there's a cap, whether fiscal or space, every kid that is invited is an adult - a close friend, a relative, whatever - who isn't.  Does that clear it up?
