How do you feel about children at weddings?

I'm getting married early next year and we do not plan on having any children at our wedding with the exception of our 4 year old flowergirl. I'm not being mean about it or anything, I just don't want to have any babies crying during the ceremony or any children talking too loud. Plus, we have to pay full price at the reception for children. I've very tactfully spread that word that it's an adults only wedding, and truthfully I've had a few people really put off with me about it, even though we're providing child care during the events.

I was wondering how other people felt about this. Would you be offended if you got an invitation with just you and your spouse's name on it and not your children's? Has anyone had any bad experiences with children at their own wedding? For example, when you played back the wedding video and it picked up every bit of that fussy baby in the 10th row?

By the way, I do love children...just not at weddings or funerals!

Would I be offended???

Absolutely NOT! When did kids become entitled to all the rights and privileges of adulthood.

I am a mother of 2, and there is NO WAY I would be offended at an adult-only wedding.

The only time I'd be offended is if there were some kids, but not others (and I don't mean children in the wedding party),

You are going ABOVE and BEYOND by offering childcare. GOOD FOR YOU. I've never had that offered when I've been invited to no-kids weddings.

My wedding invitations said "Adult-only reception to follow" to make it clear. It was a formal sit down table service reception. Not kid friendly. Some people have more kid friendly receptions - good for them. Let them. That's their deal.

And unless it is family, I don't bring my kids, even if they are invited as well. They don't NEED to go.

It's YOUR day and unless you are prepared/able to accommodate for children by offering kid friendly meals, activities, etc., I think it is BEST to NOT include them. You are CLEARLY looking out for your guest's AND yours best interests.

People need to get over the fact that they think that their children are little angles and should be allowed to come and do whatever adults to.

Whatever Hippy-dippy notions people have about a "beautiful moment" that "kids should be able to witness" - let them renew THEIR vows and let their kids WATCH THAT if it is THAT important to them.

My children are the MOST IMPORTANT thing in my life, but they ARE NOT the ONLY thing in my life. I often welcome a chance to be a grown up and not mommy.

Otherwise, stay out of other people's plans. These are the same people that take their kids to restaurants that aren't kid friendly.

GOOD FOR YOU!
