I personally don't want to have children at the reception.they tend to waste food and beverage as well as run around unattended. I once attended a reception where a little boy ran into the table that held te cake and the top tier went tumbling to the floor. My fiance loves children and thinks that they bring the true fun to a reception. Obviously I disagree. I was thinking of inviting children but with an age limit like 13 or so with the exception of immediate family. Any ideas?
