My friend's wedding is coming up. They said, "It's inappropriate for kids to be at weddings." Furthermore, one mutual friend said, "It's never acceptable for kids to come to weddings." Never mind the fact that she had a flower girl at her own wedding. Anyway, we're trying to settle this debate. Arfcom style. This guy says he wants to make it an "Adults Only" invitation and wedding. Sounds like a porn convention to me. Weddings in my family, were big reunions where everyone gets trashed and dances and hangs out shooting the shit. It's a huge celebration where all the little cousins get to dress up and play with each other. It's always been great fun. |

All-nude wedding party? Pile on the bride? Give the best man a BJ? Those probably should be adult only. Kids do get bored at long ceremonies, but then again so do I (and I was the minister at several of them). When the drinking really winds up at the reception is also maybe appropriate to be 18+ only.
But if the bride and groom don't want kids around, so be it. |

I've been to both no-kids weddings and weddings with babies and children. |

I can kind of see the point of disallowing children and babies––an inoppertune whiny child could potentially ruin one of the most special moments in the wedding couple's lives.
It just seems improprietous to me to disallow children.....though I guess it would be a concern if you did not know how an invite-ees kids would react. 
I guess what the wedding couple says goes, but I"ve never been to a wedding without children. |

This is what I posted in the other thread:
"The kids ruin good weddings with the crying and their adult keepers jumping to their every need. One wedding even allowed the kids to be put with the adults and given the adult meals (which they quickly mooshed - $100 wastes times 20 kids). When a few families brought ALL their kids, it fucked up the entire arrangement." |
