[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think child free weddings are very common. I vaguely remember weddings when I was a kid where punch and cake were served at the reception and everyone, including the entire church congregation was invited. That was a long time ago.  Weddings have become more formal and receptions have become more expensive. Many people have limited budgets and allowing everyone who wanted to to bring their kids could easily mean cutting their guest list significantly. If you invite one cousin and their kids, you pretty much have to invite all of your cousins and their kids. So cousins and kids could easily mean very few friends and crazy catering charges per head for food that many kids might not even eat.

So: Two questions: Would you be fine with traveling and getting a hotel and bringing your kid — if the reception was cake, punch, and butter mints?
                             Is the other event actually part of the wedding celebrations? Or does it just happen to be the weekend before?

Clearly you are not Catholic.  Cheap doesn’t mean dry :). 
I have flown to many weddings held in the school gym with buffet style food cooked by the MOB and the Ladies Guild and a makeshift bar set up on a card table with cousin Jimmy pouring out shots of whiskey.  And they were all completely worth it.
