Children at a wedding?

So my FI and I have reached our first standstill...deciding on if we are having children at the wedding or not.  Obviously we ARE having the ring bearer and junior bridesmaid (his niece and nephew) but beyond that is where we differ.  I have no children in my family, but my friends have children.  He has a large family with lots of cousins who have children.  He is afraid that they will not come if we do not invite their children (this has happened in the past).  He suggested that we just allow his family members to bring their children, but I said that that isn't right, because I have very close friends with children who are traveling far who would be upset that some were allowed and others weren't.  In his family, there are 15 children ranging in ages from toddlers to 12.  If we had everyone who has kids bring their kids, we'd be up to 40 (!!!) kids.  This is just out of control.  I say it's all or none.  Help us solve this arguement!
