People can invite whoever they want at *their own* party! If I ever get married. I will invite children because I want to make it a more fun gathering. But that's just me :)

Exactly. I prefer weddings without children, I just don't think everywhere is suited for/needs to be suited for them, and I hated them as a kid myself. But you're paying for and organising a day to celebrate, it's up to you who you want there.

Agreed and I think it can really depend on the wedding. We had children at ours but our ceremony was really really short and mostly it was a casual party. There was bacon and dancing!! Hmmm... bacon (we had brunch.) If I'd chosen a more solemn longer wedding I'd probably not invite children as it would likely be boring for them and trust me keeping your kiddo entertained and quiet when they're young can be quite a challenge. There are lots of views on this and only the couple know their family and friends (and their children) well enough to make a call.

Troufaki Totally agree! Yes children can have their bad moments but it happens a lot at weddings that the adults behave like assholes too. Should we leave adults out of weddings too? I’m getting married next year and children are very welcome. Remember who you were as a child and how you would have felt that you weren’t allowed to be at a big party? Children are absolutely welcome at my wedding bc they are part of the family and circle of friends. Of course, create smt to do for them, some games or entertainment so they can have a great party too. Everybody happy. 👍😊

"children make the wedding day" - well no they don't unless they're yours on your wedding day. As for the argument in any other setting you would be slated for saying no elderly, no gays etc. isn't true either. Plenty of places have age restrictions, even cinemas, restaurants, clubs, shops, there is places that cater for religious people, gay people and no you absolutely do not get to join these facilities if you don't meet the criteria. Same as amusement parks, children activity parks where some children won't be able to participate due to health and safety. But wedding is about two people getting married, that serves alcohol, and most of us wouldn't be comfortable with children running around while adults drink and smoke. Weddings should have age restrictions just purely because children don't care, and parents literally are just quests. And most won't get upset if you miss one wedding because you chose your own family needs. I would leave my own wedding if family brings kids.

All of this and also elderly, gays, fat people etc are all adults so they really can't say it's the same as no kids!

People are so touchy these days. Child free weddings sound good to me. Most weddings I have attended have had the ceremony drowned out by wailing or kids whose parents ignore their kids and rely on everyone else to watch their kids, same goes for the receptions. It makes it harder to enjoy for everyone else if they have to keep your kids safe and prevent them from tearing stuff up.
