[quote=Anonymous]I think in situations where a guest’s presence is, more or less, demanded/expected (usually close family)- the wedding couple/host should take those guests’ children into consideration. Mostly relevant to those who are traveling out of town. The kids should either be invited to the wedding or should be provided significant help with arranging local childcare ahead of time. But again- this really applies only to close family- so a small number of guests.

Yes I’d be upset if one of our siblings planned an out of town wedding, which we would be obligated to attend, and then did not want kids present at any wedding events & also provided no help with arrangements for the kids. Fortunately this has not happened.

For friends, distant family, colleagues etc? No kids is fine, and we would never expect our kids to be invited (even if other kids are there- ones who are close with the bride and groom). We would either get a sitter & enjoy a nice night out without the kids, only one of us would attend (whoever’s friend/relative it is), or we’d send our regrets/best wishes with a nice gift.
