My fiance and I are throwing around the idea of having an "adults only" wedding reception. Neither of us have children, or nieces/nephews. There are a few cousins with kids, but we are not that close to them. Our decision is based on two parts. First, we don't like the idea of a bunch of kids running around everything while we are eating or during the ceremony and being disruptive. Second, if we did allow children, that would add about 15 extra places for the reception, and we are trying to keep costs as low as possible being that we will be paying for most of the wedding ourselves. I should mention that we would plan to have two kids there as the flower girl and ring bearer. One is my fiance's baby sister, and the other is the child of a cousin that we do see regularly. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or start any family drama so I need some advice! I thought one way to get around the awkwardness would be to sell it as a "night out" away from the kids-grab a babysitter, ditch the kids, and let loose. This is not something that we have fully decided on, just something we're tossing around. Any advice you have would be much appreciated!
