[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, 62 pages on this topic!  Clearly, people have strong feelings.  I'm going to tack on my perspective as a wedding professional.

People who don't allow children at weddings are doing the right thing in terms of hosting a large event.  A child or two, especially those over 12 or under 3, will not cause any problem.  However, the very worst weddings I've been to have been those with 5-6 elementary age-d children running loose like a pack of wild animals.  I don't know why weddings lead to this - for some reason, parents don't feel the need to supervise closely at a wedding venue, and think it must be fine if they with "the other kids."

It's not fine.  They are incredibly destructive - this is an elegant event where breakable property and artistic creations of a large number of vendors is out on display.  Children damage, dirty, and break things all the time.  I've been at weddings where a pack of children did so much damage that vendors returned and just cried over what had been done to their decor items.

Please, limit kids at weddings.  It isn't the appropriate setting for them.  [/quote]

This is RIGHT on! Especially for misbehaved kids.[/quote]
