And another thing.

I seriously LMAO at the people who are anti-kids at their weddings. I mean, spare me "the venue isn't kid appropriate" BS.

Re: And another thing.

  • I am curious to hear you explain why kids should be welcome at all events that adults are?
  • We do not have any kids in our family so it was really a non-issue for us.

    However, H and I went to two weddings this year where there were children at the ceremony. Both children (aged 3 and 5) cried throughout the entire ceremony. It was not cute and it was distracting to us as guests.

    Kids do not have to be everywhere. Parents can hire a babysitter.

    That being said, kids at the actual reception are cute when they are dancing!

    She's not an AE. She's a reg from The Bump. 
  • Whatever.

    Kids don't need to be invited to everything that their parents are.

    If it's my event, I get to decide who I choose to invite.

    I understand that.

    Also, I really fucking hate kids and there were like, 40 of them at my wedding.  I barely noticed they were there.

    [QUOTE]What's wrong with not wanting kids at a wedding? I don't find them entertaining in most situations.   Also - my venue really isn't.  There is no where for young kids to go and sleep if the day is too long for them. <strong> I'd rather not have them on the dance floor in their PJs</strong> because mom and dad decided it was time for them to get ready for bed.  (This happened at the last wedding I went to.)

  • We didn't invite kids outside of our nieces and nephews. And that was mostly because anybody who would have been babysitting for them was invited to the wedding. If we included everybody's children, even at the "children's rate" our venue offer, it would have cost us another $3,000. That we didn't have.

  • Weddings aren't family reunions, so just because there are kids in your family doesn't mean they have to be invited.  If you want a night with only adults, there's nothing wrong with that no matter what the reason.

    I've apparently missed something in the last week, but who are you and why do you think anyone cares about your opinion on kids at weddings?

    I fail to see why you couldn't post this under your sn. But we're only having nieces and nephews because that's what we want. Plus, our guest list is pretty limited as it is, I don't want to use up a chunk of our list so people can bring their kids.</div><div>

    <div>Pretty much the same here.  Ours were cousins and second cousins, but that's it.  Thankfully they're some of the most well-behaved kids I've ever met, because unruly kids really can ruin a wedding.  I've watched kids stick their fingers into the uncut cake (at more than one wedding unfortunately), kids running around the dance floor intentionally trying to trip people, kids taking purses and putting them on other tables, all thinking they're being cute or funny.</div><div>
    </div><div>Bottom line, people can invite or not invite kids if they want.  Not everyone wants to deal with your (general your) "precious darlings".  And some people really do just.not.like.kids.  Deal with it.</div><div>
    </div><div>ETA: The second paragraph is directed at OP, not crash.</div>
