[quote=Anonymous]We had kids at our wedding but we were pretty youngest on both sides of big families so many many nieces and nephews and logistics of not bringing them would have been tough. We had a list of baby sitters available for very young who were staying back at hotels and had a ‘fun & crash room’ on reception site with two sitters we paid for for any who brought kids to reception as an option to escape to.

Kids do add costs and that $20 kid meal just doesn’t exist (the least we found for the wedding I’m helping plan now is $45.) The other thing is kids count in the venue capacity numbers. I have no judgement of couples who would rather 15 more of their friends are included instead of their second cousin’s kids.

The only no kid weddings I dislike and feel very judgmental of are when one side of the family ‘gets’ to include kids (even just from friends) but the other side is told no kids. And then there was one of my SIL (and my brother since he obviously agreed to) that limited our family to just siblings/SOs (and zero kids despite many being adults children) while her side had her one sibling and many vousins and their kids. Our family has 7 siblings so she said it wasn’t fair she was outnumbered.[/quote]
