[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never been to a wedding that didn't allow kids, but it seems to come up on Carolyn Hax quite a bit so I'm curious what goes on at these weddings and what most guests do when they are invited.

Just wondering what reasons people have for this. I would think primarily it's because the couple doesn't like kids or doesn't want a fussy baby or active child "ruining" the ceremony or getting in the way on the dance floor. Or is there another reason I just don't get?[/quote]

I haven't read all the posts.  We did end up allowing kids, but encouraged local guests and friends to get sitters if they could. Out of town and family we totally included.  We love kids and weren't against having them at our wedding, but a couple things: 1) our limited venue size and my huge extended family made making the guestlist crazy stressful.  We were older when we got married, so many of our friends and my cousins had kids by then.  We really didn't have room for everyone bringing their kids.  2) it was an evening wedding and at a venue that was basically one big room plus outdoor space- there really wasn't anywhere good to escape the noise from the music, etc.  The few infant-toddler aged kids that did come were cranky post-dinner, which of course makes their parents cranky too.  The older kids seemed to have a blast though.
