[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask. We had a weird situation where we weren't going to attend a family wedding because it was "no kids" but when the parents of the bride heard this, we were informed that kids within the close family could come. The couple was later among their friend group to marry so if everyone brought kids it would have been like a toddler daycare. We triple checked with the couple because we didn't want to appear presumptuous, and made it clear that we were fine either way, just wanted to clarify.[/quote]

One of DH’s cousins was getting married and the invitation specified no kids at the reception.  So, we went to the ceremony with our then 6, 4, and 2 year olds, and then started walking out to leave (they were at the same place, thankfully).  The mother of the bride came running after us, asking where we were going and when we explained she laughed and said, “oh no, that was because we didn’t want the teenage cousins here getting drunk.  Your kids are fine.”  So we stayed and had fun.

Note: if it’s not family, I just wouldn’t go, period.  But I think you have a little more leeway.[/quote]
