    We had a hard time with the decision too. We decided to do an adult only reception and the only kids who will be at th wedding are the kids in the wedding party. Then there will be someone to keep an eye on them as well.

    Kid friendly for us. If there several family members with young children we likely would go kid-free.

    We are having a kid-friendly wedding.  Since we are having a brunch, and I have a four year old little boy, it made sense for us.  I think kids are fun at weddings, too!  :)  Also, our venue gives a (much) lower per person cost for kids.

    No kids. We can have max 100 guests and we are at that limit without kids on that list. It would add at least 20 more. lol.

    We are doing kid friendly since my F has a 9 yr old.  My entire family is coming from all over the world with a total of 12 kids that will be just from family.  I have cute coloring placemats and activity books for them.  I also found checkers and tick-tac-toe games for a game table for adults and kids.

    kid friendly for sure. too many people forget that weddings are supposed to be celebrations with family and friends and kids are a part of that. They have fun and what's the harm?

    <div>I think sometimes you want the parents to have a great time without having to keep an eye on the kids all the time.

    My F has a five-year-old (will be six) son, so he's going to be there, and possibly a flower girl, but that's about it.  We'll try to organize a babysitting space for my out of town friends who have children.</div>

    I understand that you are wanting to make sure everyone one is included but I think it's truly dependent on how many kids you are talking about inviting. I have a guest list of about 200 people. Mostly family and about 20 friends. I personally come from a family with ALOT of young kids so it would have just created a crazy time at my reception. Cutting out kids narrowed our guest list by about 45 or so. The kids are more than welcome at the ceremony but it will be an adult only reception.
