  When you say wedding, I assume you mean more the reception than ceremony. 

  
  

  You can limit kids in several ways. Only WP members (so RB/FG) is fine, as is family kids and no friend kids. Even within the family is ok (first cousins but not second). Just be prepared for some people to be a little miffed and maybe not come. Also, breast feeding infants should be the exception to a no kids policy. 

  
  

  If you are worried about mayhem during the ceremony, you can hire a sitter to watch kids, but some parents will decline. You'll have to hope they have sense to get up if the kid wails. Some do, some don't. From brides I have talked to personally, this is one of those things that does not matter in the end because you and your FI are so caught up in each other and the wedding that you won't notice. 
  

  
  

  To keep the kids (however many) entertained at the reception, you can set up a table with some games and coloring books or hire a sitter to watch them nearby while they watch a movie or play games. 
  

  
  

  If cost is an issue, talk with your caterer about kids menu.

  I agree with pp. My venue did kids meals and they were served right away.
