[quote=Anonymous]My family/friends are for the most part waspy, Jewish, or Irish/Italian (but in the US for multiple generations), and I don't think I've ever been to a wedding that did include kids. We've gotten 10+ different babysitters in different cities over the years. The bride/groom have always been able to refer us to someone, or a couple times we found someone on Craigslist, but that was over 10 years ago lol. Family members were usually fine with us bringing the kids to the church ceremony, but the reception would always be an adult event. I think it is a cultural divide. In our case (and with friends of similar backgrounds), our dcs went to bed at 6:30/7pm when they were little - which is just when cocktail hour is getting started at a reception. We are now in our 40s and the wedding era is over- I'm jealous, OP! We had so many fun nights, and it is great to recharge with DH. [/quote]
