Is it rude if I invited bigger kids, but not babies?  I have no problem with kids at my wedding, but realllllly dont want babies there.  

I would not be happy is i'm walking down the isle and there is a baby screaming it's head off..

    It's your wedding so do what you want.

    With that said though, if you have OOT guests (or maybe even your local guests) that have babies / infants, you're going to have issues.

    It's not like the baby is going to steal the show or your thunder or anything ;)

    OP, please stop making multiple threads about this. TK is all wonky and I realize that your post may not instantly show up, but that doesnt mean you have to go and make more about the same subject.

    Just remember that many women who are breasfeeding will not want to (or be able to) leave their children with someone else to attend your wedding.   Excluding these babies may mean that some of your friends and family will be unable to attend.

    A baby cried at my ceremony and I never even knew it until my mom told me. It was edited out of my wedding video, too. And even if a baby does cry and you do notice, so what? People might giggle a little but life (and the ceremony) will go on. Your wedding is not going to perfect; something will happen because something always happens and that's life. If it's not a baby, it could well be someone coughing. Or farting. Or whatever. You can't control other people, only yourself and your own reactions.

    ETA: That said, invite who you want as long as you're not splitting up social units or inviting some siblings but not others (i.e. your age cutoff should not split kids from the same family)

    Agree with this 100%.  You can't control everything. You won't even notice what's going on around you at your ceremony anyway because you'll be in your own little bubble.
