Should You Invite Kids To Your Wedding?
Author: George Meszaros

Children can be the heart and soul of your wedding, but they
can also be disruptive and chaotic. You are going to have to
decide if your wedding day is going to be an adult only.

With Kids:

Children are the lifeblood of family life, and family is what a
lot of weddings are about. Their presence may be the only way
you and your family feel comfortable. You may not want to force
your guests with children to leave home without them. Some
people may refuse to attend without their children. You may not
want to create tension between you and guests with children.

If it is a second marriage, you and your loved one may already
have children. Leaving them out of the ceremony may leave you
with an uneasy feeling. You may find it impossible to celebrate
without your children.

If you decide to invite children to the wedding, you may try to
have a separate area for them. You could arrange for a room with
a babysitter, if the reception is at a hotel. In a separate
area, the children could enjoy some more interesting activities
such playing with toys and playing games with each other. The
separate "kids" area would enable parents to check on their
kids periodically.

Without Kids:

Children out of control can quickly turn your wedding into
chaos, which is exactly what you would like to avoid. The less
people attending the more you save. No kids at the wedding mean
fewer mouths to feed. Many parents will welcome the opportunity
to have a night off without their children. It allows them to
relax without their kids, an opportunity many parents scarcely
get.

To avoid loosing couples with kids due to a no kids policy
wedding, you may offer a baby-sitting option. You can arrange
for a babysitter at a friends house.

You may find the unpredictable nature of children amusing,
while others may find the idea of children at their wedding
terrifying or annoying. Whatever your personal opinion of kids
may be, one way or another they are going to have to be part of
your wedding planning strategy.
