[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a "no kids" wedding and looking back, regret it. It's a family celebration and everyone should be included.

But yeah, I wanted it to be a grown-up affair (e.g., open bar, live band).  I didn't understand the kid thing. We offered on-site babysitting, which we thought was super thoughtful, but parents of young ones did not like that option at all.

As it turned out, we had several teenagers come and probably irritated the parents of very young children. [/quote]

I got married in my early 30s and we did no kids other than nieces/nephews because almost all of my friends and several of DH's friends had kids. If we invited kids and everyone brought them it would have been like 175 adults and 50 kids, mostly toddlers/preschoolers. Looking back, I am sure several would have chosen not to bring their kids. The reception was until 11:30 pm if I recall correctly. If I had to do it again, I'd include them. But to my knowledge nobody was angry with me about it. Who knows though. [/quote]
