[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can do whatever you want but that doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences to these decisions. If it’s more important to you to keep it kids only, then do so but it may impact your relationship with your family and only you know if that’s worth it. [/quote]

Yes. I know Anglo-Saxons are very into child-free weddings (British, Americans, etc), because apparently they can't fathom having elegant, sophisticated affairs with mini-people... but really it makes them look like constipated try-hards. Continental Europe does weddings with kids very well, so do Asian cultures, and we're not talking backyard wedding with barbecue.

But if that's above what you can muster, well, your guests will just have to make a choice.

You say Asian cultures do fine at weddings, but I was at a wedding two weeks ago where most of the guests were Asian and the kids were a problem. The older ones were fine, but the toddlers were allowed to run wild and touch and play with everything (like the cake and the champagne wall). They knocked over several decor items and one peed in an artificial flower arrangement. True, the parents were not upset, but I'm sure the rental companies whose items were damaged felt differently.[/quote]
