I posted this on the other thread (link above). We had NO CHILDREN at our wedding. We paid for it ourselves, and simply could not afford it. DH had a ton of young cousins and many friends had young kids. We offered to hire a couple of babysitters for the children…but made it very clear that they were not invited LONG before the invitations went out.

I will say…DS was in a family wedding when he was about 4 years old. They insisted he come to the reception (at night) because he was in the wedding party. There is one cute picture of him dancing in his darling tuxedo…but there are NO pictures of ME dealing with a crying, overtired child. It was absolutely the worse time I’ve ever had at a wedding.
